I’m not entirely sure what’s these pages are all about as I don’t speak a word of German, but check out these pictures of historic hairstyles at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts: historische Frisuren and historische Frisuren2.
Really Taking Votes Now
Okay, I’ve narrowed it down to a few potential costumes, but I’m stuck there, so I need your feedback! Which costume should I wear to the historical masquerade, to which I need to look fabulous for reasons I can’t yet mention (but will as soon as I can)? I especially need it to be something that will look good from far away, but I don’t know if any of my costumes do that!
(on another page because, since it’s a free service, I think it may have annoying pop-up ads).
Taking Votes
Good lord, Costume Con is in less than two weeks. I’m taking votes as to what I should wear – I’ll be there for three days, plus there’s the Friday Night Social (the theme is Egyptian or deco, for which I have nothing appropriate) plus the two masquerades. I’m not going to be entering either masquerade, as it turns out, but I do need something fabulous to wear to the historical masquerade for reasons which I can’t yet make public. Which of my completed outfits is the most fabulous? Oh dear, off to examine my suitcase options…
Venetian Courtesan Gown
Almost done – the binding took much longer than necessary… read more about my Venetian courtesan gown project
Belmont Stakes Images
Sorry for the delay – I’ve put up version 1 of my photos from GBACG’s Belmont Stakes event. Version 2 will be forthcoming as soon as the overachiever husband finishes fiddling with our group pictures (moral of the story: don’t ask the artist to merge panoramic photos, especially when he has 50 other important things to do, because even if you say “never mind” he will insist on doing it, but then run out of time).
The event itself was excessively fun. Everyone looked REALLY fabulous — there were lots of stripeys (yay!) plus our very own 1912 Barbie (“betting on horses is hard!”). We were seated right next to the windows, so had a great view, and it was a quick walk down to the paddock and racetrack. I had fun making my $2 bets and even won a few (okay, and lost a few too, but how could I not bet on a horse named Plush Velvet?).
I’ll get the group photos up as soon as I can.
