More Dickens-Gender Bender

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Did I grab you with the title? I do try.

I have mini kilts, I have Renaissance Faire outfits, I have a fantasy leather dress, Jessica Rabbit costume, Poison Ivy costume, and even a few corsets...

But, I do not have a good Victorian outfit, and I have not had the time lately to come up with one, so...










I decided to steal my husband's clothing again.



We packed up the kids and went to The Great Dickens Christmas Faire.

Jamie dressed his best and I just tagged along in men's clothing (definitely more comfortable than women's clothing in Victorian times!)



We walked in the door and I was immediately swept into a fast waltz, by a very gracious gentleman (who either likes to dance with other gentlemen or was not easily deceived by my attire). An attempt was made to catch this on still film, but, it was not very successful:




We met many kilted gentlemen. Here are a few representative samples:





Jamie met a redhead and crew (of the Airship Aurora):



They showed him very little respect as an airship captain himself!





Jamie and I enjoyed a few spirits and libations.





And I let down my hair and found my own redhead....

I kind of wonder whether it was the gin and tonic or the subject of the photo that made Jamie incapable of staying in focus. This would have been a really cool picture if it were in focus. I suggest trying to look at it after about 6 drinks, or just take off your glasses and squint!



A family picture to come...
