So, I went to the Detriot Renaissance Festival about two weeks ago. And this was my first renaissance festival ever. And it. was. awesome.
To start off the experiance, we get there, and people around here are so serious about it, there are permanent buildings set up for this thing, which runs for several weekends. And there are people everywhere, half in costume, half looking like frikkin' tourists. It's pretty hard to tell who actually works there apart from enthusiastic guests. But it was so cool to see.
So, as we're(me and Moo) are walking along, we pass a shop with a guy in a kilt standing out front. His sales tactics are extrordinary.
"IT'S MORE FUN IF YOU DO IT IN COSTUME." His apparent slogan.
"BLAH BLAH BLAH, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY, BLAH BLAH BLAH."
"I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS."
We went into his shop and he had some awesome stuff, but if was so fucking expensive, I almost died of a heartattack. But the next shop we went into was cheaper. Originally, Moo said, "I'll only buy for you what you already planned to spend." Since I hadn't gotten my paycheck yet. But that quickly turned into, "okay, we both have a 100 dollar budget to start our renaissance fair costumes." Since we live damn close to it, and plan to go every year. So, she ent over her budget and got nearly a whole costume, dressed as a bar wench. I got an 85 dollar corset that's gold with black lace, and a simple black blouse for under it. Imma be a pirate of the high seas when it's done. Cause we found this hat shop that has the coolest damn hat, Moo said she'd buy it for me for christmas from their website. My neck hurt a little from my first time with the corset, but I love it.
Also, not even ten minutes out of the shop, now in our garb, I get hit on in the Alchemist's Stall. By a guy working it. He see's my tattoo(now almost completely visible) and tries to guess where it's from, tugging down the back of my shirt slightly to see the rest. He can't figure it out, and shows it to another guy who also has no clue and ends up saying, "I'm just enjoying to view."
...In front of my mother. Then tries to do a suave, "And I'd enjoy it all night long, m'lady."
Yeah......no.
Aside from that, I made a new bff in the shop where we got our clothes, she's the one who laced up my corset. She's totally my age, loves going to conventions, has horses(omg), and is really really nice. Yay! My first Michigan friend! Wow, that's sad.
We also saw a hilarious bagpipes concert of a group called Tartanic. While they were playing a few people starting dancing down near the corner of the stage, one lanky guy with waist long hair took his shirt off. So, they called it the 'clothing optional show.' And one of the bagpipes guys took their shirt off too. They also had a belly dancer and light comedy, was awesome to watch.
All in all, I had a lot of fun, remarkabley did not get sun burned, and went home with my first corset(which I've wanted for an insane amount of time), a blouse, new ear cuffs, an ocarina, and a phone number. XD
One day to go, bitches.
