Taken at Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Held every fall in NE Kansas at Bonner Springs. Celebrating days gone by with costumes, pageants, revelry and feasting…this is such a fun event with fairies, pirates, kings and queens and even a vulgarian here and there.
I made my 11 year old son take a few snap shots of me since I wasn’t really happy with the last set we did when going to the RenFest.
THIS one I loved. The dress itself I bought online….the gauntlets I made from faux leather and ribbons. The ugly shoes I got on the discount shelf at Wallyworld.
Was such a grand festival to go to…and each year we just enjoy it more and more!
Hazzaaah!

    Damn you must have been young when you had your son! ;o) This is a lovely portrait, he’s done really well to take this. Love how you got the shoes from Wallyworld…is that actually a real place? :o)

  • haha…naw…I was in my mid-life crisis when I had him…lol
    the shoes were only 50c on the shelf there……….Wallyworld is our Wal Mart…nicknamed because of an old Chevy Chase movie where they were going on vacation to Wally World :o)

    gorgeous! it’s too bad we don’t wear those dresses no more. women are so beautiful in there

  • I so agree! I love wearing dresses…especially beautiful feminine ones……….but? i don’t think i’d enjoy hiking in them…lol

    Walmart…okay that makes sense now :o) When I read Wallyworld I immediately thought of Chevy Chase. I was thinking surely they haven’t named a store after the film??!! LOL

  • hahahaha….oooonly me! lol
