Wentz farmstead: School of the Soldier
(Or, In which I am still too much of a sewing failure to even finish a petticoat! I actually had it 90% sewn Thursday night - and then realized the pleats at the back were really, truly unacceptable! And I wasn't staying up any later to redo them! So, no petticoat! Maybe if I'm able to make Ft Fred...)
Friday evening I went to a dreadful club with one of my best friends for her birthday (let's try something new where no one's ever been! It sounds like fun! It wasn't); I only had one drink, but between staying out rather late and only getting about two hours' sleep because of Female Complaints, I very nearly decided to bag the Wentz event Saturday morning when my alarm went off at 7.15!
I was very glad I did go, though, because 1/ I like playing dress up (NO WAY), and 2/ I like getting to see friends even more!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dragoneyes19, hiraimi, and I had a very enjoyable few hours together.
It was kind of an awful day, though, weather-wise. Wind, intermittent rain, and cold: I might have liked my cloak, and I definitely would have liked my mitts (even idiotically thumbless as they are)!
Robin's done a bit more of a write-up, with some pictures taken back at her apartment (please note my Very Smart new black straw hat in those pics!). Also please don't note my bizarrely considerably-longer-in-back petticoat...I realize now I may have originally made it to wear over a small rump? Or my scoliosis has gotten that much worse? I don't even know. Ew.
And yes, we're famous. That is, we made it into a local paper. (Clicky the photo for the link to the article)
And re: their caption: Uh...no, we're not the reenactors! Those are all the people you're not taking photos of in the background of that shot!

2. Your petticoat ain't as crooked as my gown hem!
3. We even TOLD them we weren't re-enactors. Silly reporters who don't listen.

Hahaha - I think it might be the first time I've seen the petticoat at that angle in a pic, so I was just like WHAT.
Silly reporter indeed! I was kind of afraid of that after he kind of waved aside my comment that we were The Public. No, Mr Reporter, I don't mean 18thc Publick, I mean...we're visitors. Not reenactors. Nope, didn't listen!
