Ransom Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ^ Yeah, everal times, but that was SCA stuff. < Back in those days, we always dressed before an event. Evey now and then a gas station attendant would give us a weird look, but I think down in So. Ca. there were so many SCAers that they were used to seeing people dressed in costume. V What's the strangest question anyone has asked you while you were in garb? ...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. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Cheeky Actress Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ^ I've driven and walked in public in costume. And yes...some very strange looks, but also some very nice compliments.< I once dressed up as Death and rode in the back of a pickup down main street on Halloween. I startled a cyclist so badly that he almost laid his bike over. V Ever won a costuming award? ^ To answer William's question: Yes, won 1st place in CostumeCon 24 in the Novice division for Workmanship Award: Best in Class/Presentation Award: Most Evocative.

Red-Handed Jill Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ^ No strange questions, but once when I entered a Beverages and More dressed as a pirate, everyone nearby facing the door simultaneously pointed to their right and said, "The rum's that way!" < I won one costume contest, but it wasn't a period costume. I came as Death. V Have you scared small children while in garb - and by scared, I mean they ran away shrieking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOps! That was my outside voice;)! "Big on self-reliance and personal responsibility. Down on culture of victimology. Nobody owes you a thing and life isn't always fair.
