Stazia -> Renaissance Fairs/SCA membership (5/15/2007 6:04:17 PM)
So I find that the BDSM world and the SCA world tend to overlap quite a bit, and I was wondering exactly how much. (edit wrong word usage)

I met my Mentor in the SCA. We are members of the same house, which is not a Lifestyle house, but has others of the Lifestyle in it besides us. My Mentor has played in the SCA in four states and there are boat loads of people in each kingdom who are either in the Lifestyle or Lifestyle aware. boundkitty

Although it's been many years, I was once an SCA member - I have fond memories of one Pennsic (XXIV? I think) of attending a munch, and leading a male friend around on a collar and leash for part of the time :-)

It has been many many moons since i have been to it. i wonder if Vlad still has the auctions at His campsite on Friday and Saturday Nights. i paid the price that last year i went but it was well worth it once i ended up getting home. It made life alot more interesting in the house. dreamy

You forgot to add people who are fluent in Klingon...Just another delusion....And people wonder why there is no unification within this "lifestyle."

I think there is no unification because people can get too snarkey at the way other people live their lives, not because someone asks if anyone attends Ren fairs.

Youre not fully committed, unless you wear period costume to the gas station, to the pub and around the town, and revel in the everyday types gawping open mouthed at you. For extra points, you take a pewter tankard to the pub too, and argue over weights and measures with the bar staff, whilst trying to smoke a clay pipe. E

Actually i do remember them. i camped with Blue Moon from the Baronay of Twin Moons. i miss the old days. i had so much fun and enjoyed the freedom while camping at those events. ~sighs~

dreamygirl -> RE: Renaissance Fairs/SCA membership (5/16/2007 7:26:41 AM)
But sometime it is half the fun to walk around in garb just to get those strange looks Lady Ellen. i use to own my own pewter, but somehow with all the moves i have done and everything. i lost most of all that i had. Eventually, once i have the time again. i will be getting them again and returning to have fun once more within the SCA. The one pass time that i seemed to enjoy besides reading and sewing. dreamy

well since i've made a very very good living working at a faire for the last 16 years, i'd say that yes i attend them but not in the same way as patrons....for me, the people who work their and travel with them have becaome very important to my family....as yes there are alot of people who pracice. and yes ladies Vlad is still there in all his wicked glory. blue

I'm sorta regret that I drifted away from doing that kind of thing. I've thought a couple times about getting involved in the SCA again, but it's hard to find the free weekend time between school and work.

God i would love to see Vlad again, just to see how things are.. i wonder if the picture of me is still floating around in the white silk dress being carried off to the dunk tank.

i understand about not having the time.. i am finally at least having Fridays and Saturdays off from work.. but on those days i normally head out for my second job, which is my side business. ~shrugs~ When i make it rich ~crosses my fingers~ i will do all the things i have missed in the past 8yrs.

Nosathro -> RE: Renaissance Fairs/SCA membership (5/16/2007 10:51:30 AM)
I am also a member of Adrian Empire...an off shot of SCA. We use "Live Steel" althought SCA is bringing back Rapiers. I also belong to a Guild that does Renaissance Faires and this last weekend We were give a "Letter of Appreiation" from the Promoters for all Our hard work and Support. I think my most memorial event in public was one morning before going to an IHOP for breakfast. I was in a Tunic, a friend was just wearing an Irish Lean, and Our girlfriends were in bodices that well, I would say about 80% just hanged out. We were seated in a booth which a large picture window that was between the main dining room and the waiting area. I remembe all through Our breakfast, We would look to the window and see all the kids looking at Us or rather the Wenches. When I am My Irish Friend got up We got our looks as well, mostly from other Men. We took it in with great humor.

dreamygirl -> RE: Renaissance Fairs/SCA membership (5/16/2007 11:02:26 AM)
Greetings Nosathro, Those looks are great. At least Your girl was in a bodice and not dance garb with bells and the whole belly chain, bracelets and everything. God i miss those days [image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m17.gif[/image]. Well one day i will return to that. Redoing my garb collection and bells. Still have my slave bells which sit on my desk just waiting.

Nosathro -> RE: Renaissance Fairs/SCA membership (5/16/2007 11:16:58 AM)
greetings dreamgirl Well, now that you mentioned it. A girlfriend was in middle east grab with all the bells and such and wearing my collar. My tunic is that of a Norman Knight. We left camp one night to get some things for a Feast Our Camp was having. We were in the Check out Line and my girlfriend was behind me, a woman behind us notied her outfit and collar and asked her what was all this about. My girlfriend did not break her char and told the woman she was captured and enslaved by me, when the Normans attacked her village. This woman took all of it seriously and started yelling at me. I simply responded "She is the spoils of war", paid for the food and grab her and out the store. We both laughed out loud all the way back to the camp. Be Well Nosathro
