COMMENTARY

dickens fair wrap up

It’s over, I’m tired, it was fun, but I’ll be glad to have my weekends back. On Saturday Heather and I posed in the Dark Garden window — here’s some pictures of us in our undies (along with a few other pictures of me properly attired!).

I failed miserably in my attempts to document the great outfits wandering around the fair due to my inability to bring a camera. There was one woman at the GBACG gathering wearing a fabulous purple and white striped (STRIPES!) bustle dress, which I spotted in an evening incarnation at the Gaskell Ball — plus many many more gorgeous costumes. Hopefully GBACG will have some pictures up soon!

Now I’ve got 1 1/2 weeks off for Christmas break, so I am hoping to do some serious costuming (and some serious movie watching — Girl with a Pearl Earring! Mona Lisa Smile!), which will mean a bit more excitement around here in démodé land.
