Incomparable genius, yes I am talking about myself.

I tie-dyed a dress of mine in hope that it could be altered to make an outfit for the renaissance festival. I doubt it, but it wouldn't be a normal year if I wasn't scrounging to find stuff for a costume. The first time I went my mother made a felt squires outfit and I wore all black under it, it was a fucking hot day and I wanted to shoot myself.


The outfit that was not only hot but kinda on the fail side of life.


The second time I went to ren fest I spend the 72 hours before leaving, and a few hours in the car, sewing a three piece outfit. It was the first time I had ever taken on a sewing project by myself and it was the first time since I was a freshman in high school that I had touched a sewing machine. I want to say that I was a sophomore in college the second time I went. I also decided it would be a great idea to make the pattern myself. I swam in the cloths all day, I made the outfit for someone several times larger than me. The costume was also black and I about passed out from the heat.

Third times a charm right? Not for me. I, fortunately, had my mother make a gypsy skirt for me, it is freaking awesome! The only problem was that I have no shirts to go with it. None. Talk about a bad day. I ended up wearing my gypsy-esk costume to my fourth ren fest, but I refuse to wear it this year. I am tired of wearing the same costume, especially a costume that isn't even finished and that is patched together in a not gypsy way. It looks pretty bad.





My friends making me look better at life. They are pretty much awesome.

As I was going through the pictures I remembered how epically awesome the trip was. I will post about the awesome trip me and my friends took later.
