Riversdale picnic

[mandie_rw]

Just yoinked a few shots from quincy134 and isabelladangelo for posterity, since, as I said, I forgot my camera...and I have a dumb phone that doesn't take good pictures, since I still live in the Dark Ages of cellphone technology!

As also previously mentioned, that collar is just wack. Unacceptably so, and I'm going to take it off before I wear the spencer again (famous last words). Other than that, though, it was pretty decent, although wrinkly back is wrinkly. Ugh, linen, whatever. Nice and lightweight though...summer spencers are a Good Idea! And I liked the bonnet...though I think I had an errant bobby pin or something, since the back of my head looked decidedly pointy! A little too perky, if you know what I mean. There's a reason I didn't steal any profile shots...

Outfit shenanigans aside, it was great fun, beautiful weather, and great to meet some new people!


It's a picnic! I think we look terribly picturesque.


Judy had to peel my orange for me. I was seriously challenged at orange-peeling. And then all sticky.


Beautiful house! Well, with the money from a plantation, you can afford to have a pretty nice house...


Group shot!


Prowling the strawberry beds. Well, the Girl Scouts had already picked all they needed, and there were still some ripe berries...


If I'm in costume, and there's a hill (that I don't think I'll fall down face-first), I will run down it. This has been proven many times.

Thanks! And I'll thank you again for coming up with such a nice place for an event! :)

How beautiful everyone is! I gotta say, Judy in the orange peeling picture is just TOTAL GORGEOUS PERFECTION.

Isn't she? I adore that bonnet! And I feel it only fair to tattle that she stole everything she's wearing from madamekat...except the hair. The hair is Judy's. xD

My undies were my own too. Kat and I don't share that much!

I stand corrected. Undies too. LOL

That was some of the saddest orange peeling I had ever witnessed, but I was glad to be of some assistance. We are, after all, in a secret engagement.

Thank goodness for that, otherwise I'd just had to chuck that orange into the strawberry beds and steal their berries instead!

I tried to peel another orange today and thought of you...because it was even more pathetic today! Somehow. These oranges are out to get me. I want my clementines back!

I love the picture of the three of you in the house! It looks like something from out of a movie.

Isn't it a great shot? :) The Gloria/Mike team invariably takes wonderful photos that I have to steal!
