  1. "speaks extremely properly" Fixed that for you.

  2. I'm amused by the people insisting how AWFUL it is to "bring up race" as if their reaction itself doesn't mark them as being racist AF. Yes, the images are lovely and surprising. Very nice to see. :)

  3.  @phixter  Yeah, because "character" can so clearly be judged by a posed glamour shot in a fashion gown. Could you be a little more transparent? They can't hear you up in the peanut gallery.

  4. @Jane D You really don't realize what an ass you sound, do you? Here's a tip: complaining about the very existence of a comment on a subject - not a rule, not a requirement, just a comment - paints a huge sign on your forehead LOOK I'M CONVINCED I'M BEING TARGETED. It's especially counterproductive when the comment is a positive one that in no way targets anybody. If you want to be thought of as decent, then try to refrain from complaining when someone is being nice. Especially when they're being nice to someone ELSE.

  5. Doesn't matter. "Speak proper" is completely wrong. "Proper" is an adjective, thus you cannot use it to modify a verb. "Properly" is the correct term, since it is an adverb (the actual name for what you're calling a "ly word"), and thus modifies a verb - which is what "speak" is. Would you say someone "talks good"? No, you wouldn't, for the same reason you wouldn't say someone "speaks proper".

  6. Uh huh. Point me to where you've ever heard someone say "she speaks proper". That immediately brings up the question "proper what?" And lots of incorrect usages are parts of "certain dialects". That doesn't make them good English.

  7. Oh, I'm sure she stumbles as much as anyone. Haven't you noticed the copious cuts in the video? That technique is used to cover up mistakes, "stuttering or jumbling" as you called it.

  8.  @ClockworkChainsaw  I love the "why does this have to be said" as if someone was holding a gun to her head and forcing her to type. :D

  9.  @rf5218  There are some black ladies in the photos in the vids. Some people think it's OMG AWFUL that anyone should mention how nice it is to see those pictures.

  10. 6:00 "She would not be wearing evening dress." Unless it's the next morning. ;)

  11. Wonderful video, thank you so much for this! Back in the 80's, I used to work at the SoCal Renaissance Faire. I made myself a corset using sections of steel rebars and copious cotton padding. I know that sounds crazy, but my Goddess, that thing was SO comfortable! For about the first half-hour, it would feel "too tight", but after that I'd be settled in, and it helped me get through long days of being quite active without getting exhausted. I also have scoliosis, though mine is less than yours (so much so that I wasn't even aware of it as a condition until the 90's), and had suffered from mild backaches through most of my life, so the thing really helped me. I especially remember how when I took it off at the end of the day, my back would just COLLAPSE, and suddenly I would feel just how tired I was. Honestly, I'd still be using it now if someone hadn't stolen it from the backstage area on the last day of the Faire the last year I was there. Maybe the spinal gods were telling me something!

  12. I'm sorry to hear the Globe no longer does period theater. That was one of the things I very much wanted to see if (when) I get to England. :(

  13. To my eye, it looks like most like the green velvet houserobe that Scarlett O'Hara put on the morning that she told Rhett Butler she didn't wanna have any more kids. It was fitted in the same way (although the sleeves were more dramatic), with the same kind of closure. I've always thought that garment quite beautiful, myself.

  14. @Jane D Looks like we've got a PeeWee in the house. :D

  15. I did the original RenFaire in SoCal for years. Started with St. Andrew's (the Scots guild), went on to St. Helena's (the peasants' guild), then St. Magdalena's Barge (the cathouse), and ended up with the Dead Parade (the best gig by far!) What a time. So many wonderful memories. Getting my costume together every year was one of the highlights. (Met my ex-husband there too, but I won't go into THAT.)

  16. My head is filling with design ideas. What one could do with a dress like that! Was the lace ever used figuratively, to form deliberate shapes? Or was it always abstract decoration? The possibilities are endless.

  17.  @ernestscribbler2294  LOL. Awww, butthurt much? Grow up, Sparky.

  18. What a lovely Faire! Oh, I hope it survives somehow so I can go visit someday! There's nothing like Faire. I miss it so much.

  19. +mommy monster Passive aggression. How cute.

  20. I have such fond memories of that faire. I was really sad when it moved away to Orange County. It wasn't anywhere near as fun over there, and eventually turned into a commercial crapfest. * sad *

  21. "Greensleeves" and "greenskirt" were common terms for a prostitute - green because the color hides the grass stains. Just FYI. :)

  22. Jousting is simple - two guys on horses try to knock each other off with enormous poles. The poles are why they have to wear plate armor.
