I have been forced to buy children's shoes for so many years and endured the humiliation of shop keepers laughing in my face because the only shoes that fit might be pink, blue, yellow, flowered or with Minnie Mouse on the toes.<br /><br />Now, tell me, do we really need Minnie Mouse shoes?<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed your outing despite the weather and received such a great compliment on a soggy, dreary day. We can all use a little sunshine once in a while.scgritsgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037909736712640712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496856682288010897.post-67920296401763798262012-05-23T00:16:46.619-04:002012-05-23T00:16:46.619-04:00That was a very nice compliment.
I have to say,...That was a very nice compliment. <br /><br /> I have to say, that's the type of shape I look for in a woman. Or I should say, used to look for, since meeting my lady I am not looking now. <br /><br />Sounds like an awesome time, and fun to play dress up without worrying about having to go somewhere.Joe Robinsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214577623320103751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496856682288010897.post-1180152053293123972012-05-17T09:15:33.438-04:002012-05-17T09:15:33.438-04:00Being a ren fair performer (in Texas though I have...Being a ren fair performer (in Texas though I have been told that Georgia is a lovely festival) our favorite days tend to be rain days. It is of course normally cooler, and though the patrons are thin on the ground, the ones who show up typically are more willing to play since they voluntarily came out in the rain. At Scarborough we have to be careful though not to overload the patrons. We have a heavy emphasis on roaming lane characters, and if we all hit every patron we see on a rain day, that means pretty much each patron is going to get stopped by roughly 130 people in costume doing little bits and conversations with them. It is a bit overwhelming. <br /><br />Also we get weird when the rain falls, which is just fun for everyone.<br /><br />Most well made Ren boots range from $300 to $1200. I own a pair of Son of Sandlar 4 button boots that were roughly $300, and they are the most amazing things ever. Plus their soles are guaranteed for life. When you do faire all the time, and you wear the things 25 weekends a year on rough terrain and are constantly walking, $300 or even $500 is well worth it. Not a sales pitch, just how I justify buying expensive shoes for my hobby.<br /><br />And lastly, I have always said, if you want to feel beautiful go to a ren faire. There is nowhere else in the world where people can honestly appreciate you for who you are and have no problem telling you that you are beautiful. In the real world I rarely feel I am pretty, at faire I am told by hundreds of strangers every day that I am beautiful, radiant, and breathtaking.Beylithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979414293606640220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496856682288010897.post-25566461555551095622012-05-16T21:28:18.804-04:002012-05-16T21:28:18.804-04:00Maybe when I win the lotto I will buy you some $50...Maybe when I win the lotto I will buy you some $500 boots :) Glad he made you feel good, that's a great compliment.
