Capt. Sterling Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Now when I said I want to be a fop, I mean it! Make up and all! I want blue shoes with bows. I want sky blue silk and frilly cuffs, I want white make up, rosey cheeks and a mole! Kinda like Tim Roth in Rob Roy. Make fun of my sway, but don't turn your back on me or I'll eat yer first born kinda Fop...No offense to the men in wigs and yer right, putting on buckle shoes and a wig doesn't make the fop, it's the mole. Capt Sterling! You look more like a gentleman to me rather than a Fop.. Never thought you meant me...( **whew** ) just wasn't sure from your statement if you understood the importance of wigs in the time frame or what constituted a real fop... no offense taken and none ever intended... and La! Dear boy, do remember to paint yer heels red... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Capt. Sterling Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Kenneth,I do like the 'texture' look to it. Is it a wool (wool blend)? FOP!? (SIGH)...I guess that means I'll have to pack more port, walnuts, tobacco, cigars, and snuff to keep all you "gents" happy at PIP! Cheeky I think Waller states that fops did not smoke... snuff yes, but smoking was too... messy... snigger.

William Brand Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Mike and I have discussed dressing as fops for years. He would go by his middle name of Francis and I would probably be Willy, though we would pronounce it with the proper emphasis... Ffffronssis and Willay.
Capt. Sterling Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Oh Willay, So is there to be a fop contest now at PiP?

William Brand Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Oh Willay, So is there to be a fop contest now at PiP? Not for me this year, I'm afraid. I'll be doing well to keep everything in order and to finish my most current costume. Besides, Mike isn't going, and I would need Mike to really sell the fop. He can lisp like nobody's business.

Jack Roberts Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Maybe next year we can have a fop contest. That would give me plenty of time to get something ready. Hey, I can lisp with the best of 'em. Oh wait maybe I shouldn't say that. Mmmm... You got me thinking.
Captain Jim Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 What, now we have to start a Fop Thread? A Lisp List? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Ransom Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Well, it might be, if your "chaw" bag was silk or velvet, and you carried your own personal, chased-silver spittoon. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Patrick Hand Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Ah but sneezing is... snuff But fops carry lace hankies fer that..... they don't just wipe thier noses on thier shirt or coat sleeves.......
Capt. Sterling Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Oh La! Patrick, dear, dear, boy, my word, good heavens, neva... neva wipe one's nose on one's lace mouchoir... those are just to show that one can afford the lace that the other bloke, can't...they certainly are NOT to be used! **feeling faint** that is what the back of the hand is for, it is easily cleaned by wiping it upon one's servant.... Now where is that bosun... I need him to kneel down in the surf so I may step upon his back and not get my tootsies wet whilst leaving this nasty little longboat...
