Cheeky Actress Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 It been a while since I posted any thing new here. Therefore, I decided to post the gown I wore at RF4 in Arlington Heights, IL - Chicago this past February. In my hurry to take said photos, I realized that I am lacking my shift. Darn, don't know where I put it, either. Perhaps I left it 'somewhere' My compliments to Captain John Sterling for his wonderful work on my beautiful gown. The ball gown is made of purple silk taffeta with ice blue dupioni silk, trimmed with linen lace of white and silver braid and ice blue gems. Next...my attempt with hair and make-up of the time period "Beauty patches": star-, crescent-, moon-, and heart-shaped silk or velvet patches worn as comouflage, sometimes a dozen at a time, by women (to cover scars let behind by acne or the pox). The patches (*mouches) have been used as a form of silent signal, The one near my mouth states that I am willing to flirt and the at the corner of my eye means passion or a Mistress. The hair was a bit tricky, I used a hair rat to give the lift I needed for my brangs and in the front to support the slight tilt of the Fontage/Commode. I did use several hair pieces to add volume and to achieve the over-all look of the style. The pale white face was achieved with 'Geisha White' foundation and translucent rice powder. And for the final touch, 'Tulip' cut lips of red - giving the mouth a smaller more delicate look. Member of "The Forsaken"
'Bastian Devareaux Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Bravo, my dear. You look grand, as always!! It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets. Secrecy is intrinsic to my work. ~ Christopher Priest “Five and Twenty Ponies, Trotting thru’ the Dark. Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy.Watch the wall my darling; While the Gentlemen go by.”~Rudyard Kipling
Capt. Sterling Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Where is the patch that states "X" marks the spot? Or nibble here? "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... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

Silkie McDonough Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Cheeky. What sorts of women would use such marks and on what sorts of occasion?
Cheeky Actress Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Thank you so much for the kind words LadyBarbossa and 1stMate Matt! It's always nice to hear such things...especially at my age! Member of "The Forsaken"
Rumba Rue Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Great Cheeky Actress! However if I were to ever wear such things, I'm afraid people would think I've got the pox or something... oh shut up out there!
Cheeky Actress Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Cheeky. What sorts of women would use such marks and on what sorts of occasion? Well... funny you should ask Silkie...and thank you Rumba Rue (I wouldn't tell a soul!)... The real reason behind these items did have a purpose. These patches or "recleuses" were frequently applied to the face and body to cover smallpox scars, acne and similar marks. The patch grew in popularity over the course of the 17th century and into the 18th century. What 'Type' of women? Well, any women who considered herself 'fashionable' I suppose. Those who would be the 'in crowd' - Royal Court culture and the like...the don't forget...one would 'ape' one's betters! Member of "The Forsaken"
Silkie McDonough Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I'm a the owner of an ordinary. I would assume that on a daily basis I would not use them. Perhaps I would to attract a wealthier clientele? Would one of my staton eer be invited to "fancy" events?
Capt. Sterling Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Depends on what level of fancy... "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... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Silkie McDonough Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 What level might a woman of my station hope to achieve ...GAH ...so much to learn!
