Ren Faire and Leather Goodness
Aug. 15th, 2009 08:55 pmI went to the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lethlogica today. I'd not been to this ren faire before, and it was great to check them out in their new home. We had a lovely time looking around, shopping, chatting with a random fellow geek who happened to be in front of us in the line for The Holy Grill (Jesus was manning the grill. I kid you not.), oh and did I mention shopping? Not that either of us bought a lot. We simply got a few quality pieces. She got a couple of very pretty skirts and a gorgeous red bodice, and I got a treat: a leather bodice from Ravenswood Leather. I'd been ogling them at the Highland Games last month, and even though Hannah wasn't there to help button and lace me in today, I tried on one that was just PERFECT. Right colour, right buttons, right stitching, right size. Just RIGHT. Now I need to find someone to make me some tartan trews and I'll be smokin', baby! :D In the meantime, I think it'll look pretty awesome with my long gray wool skirt. I'm so going steampunk for Halloween this year (assuming I can get to a party), with this piece as the base for the cozzie. I have the bodice, skirt, hat, and boots. I just need to come up with some kickin' accessories, and I'm golden.
This is the bodice: Artemis Bodice Now imagine it all in dark green with nickle buttons and gray knotwork in the centre. ... Yeah. Dude.
We also noshed on warm cinnomon roasted nuts. I think these must be the onesjaunthie mentioned having at the Lavender Festival. Again I say, Dude. Soooooooo good! And it's a damned good thing I have a spin class tomorrow morning and the gym on Monday, because I need it after noshing those lovely roasted nuts. I need to figure out when lemurkitten and I can go climbing together again this week, too. I need all the exercise I can get! And I want buff arms to show off when I wear the new bodice. ;D
