Greetings, Gentlemen (and Ladies, if any have joined in other than myself...okay, maybe that's not the best description, ha, ha). I am new to the Pirates In Paradise Festival. I'm an inlander, but a pirate in me heart!

I don't know where I can wear my garb (as far as places during the festival). I want to wear it all the time, but I do often get strange looks when I go to ye olde Walmart Supercenter dressed as such. But, I likes it! Arrrgh!

P.S. I was also wondering if anyone out there had any information on how much a wedding ceremony would cost at the festival. Any info would be much appreciated. I've got pirate wedding garb, too.

I think I'm obsessed.

Anyway, BLACK FLAG FOREVER!

Well, I certainly don't claim to a be a lady, be I am a female. And there are several of us female types here on this list.

As for where to wear yer pirate garb, if ya come to Key West for Pirates in Paradise, ya kin wear it anywhere about the island and not feel too out of place, and usually quite in place. We found that pirates are very welcome, and often yer piratical garb will be a free ticket into places that make the commoners pay a cover charge.

Now -- I didn't go into the Walmart (I don't think I've found one there yet), but I did go into the K-Mart dressed in all me saltiest finery. Drew a few double takes, but I can handle that.

I've even seen the pirates riding the small scooter motorbikes about the town in their garb.

I twould feel more out of place in civvies than in pirate togs down there. Been there several times outside of the festival and even a lone pirate and his wench have been welcomed, totally out of place and time. Frankly, I'd wear my pirate clothes every day if I could - oh, I can... Hhmm! :huh:

Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard.

"This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?"

My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity.

"Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me."

And by suggestions, I mean, what's the best stuff to do?
