I wasn't naked!

It's really too bad that we didn't have any fun, none at all.

I made it to Belvidere not naked! Well mostly, we showed up late and went to the fashion show in our underoos so we wouldn't miss it (except miss_philomena who can drive in a corset and arrived dressed)...I think clothes might have been a better use of our time. But that was the only lame part of the event (unless you count the 100 degree heat). We did the traditional Dress-In-The-Street-Behind-Robin's-Car and were on our way!

Do you need any leaves? I have about 100 in my hem

We did a little wandering and shopping, I picked up a few things at my favorite jewlery vendor, but I think the heat drove a lot of the regular antique vendors away as it was sparse on the shopping this year. The highlight as always was hanging out with our friend the Earl of Westwood and his encampment from 1882. The Gentlemen were dashing, the other ladies friendly and all around worth the sweating through my dress. We even saw laracorsets!

I thought about wearing make up, probably wise I didn't as it'd have slipped off.


Wedgie shot!


Posing for our tintype

A huge thank you to those who went with me. Those who helped me sew and laugh my face off. mandie_rw made the bonnet and deemed it "ugly" but I ADORED it. I kept her and hiraimi overnight so the fun could continue
