I love hoopskirts. Love love love em. If I wasn't such a conformist and trendy like, I'd wear em everyday.

You should hang with Jilli more. Start your own trend, while following a master.

Were it option....

Actually, I have this fantasy. Having Jilli dress me like her, and me dressing Jilli like me.

I am so strange.

If I do Civil War reenacting, I suspect I'll stick to a "girl who ran off to join the army disguised as a boy" persona, since I'm not that into hoopskirts. But for Revolutionary War and Peninsular/1812, I'll need a male identity to play with the guns and a girly one to play with the pretty clothes.

Ooh, Civil War reenacting. Something I've wanted to do for a while, but never had the time. It's not as if I don't live in the right area for it....

Random thought (completely related to absolutely nothing being discussed): I forgot to ask for the Buffista six-pence for the wedding. Huh. I guess it works long-distance, too.

The Buffista sixpence is no more. But the love is still there!

I'll say this as delicately and euphemistically as possible... if you want your husband to treat your fastball like Albert Pujols and not like Willie Bloomquist, you should probably look into period dresses. Because girls dressed as boys to join the army do not make the husband think of rye bread and mustard.

ETR hoop skirts, since JZ's spicy brains have come through yet again.

The Buffista sixpence is no more.

What happened?

But the love is still there!

Of course it is. The good thoughts attached to it are what gave it its power.

Hey, our anniversaries are 4 days apart. I knew we picked an excellent month in which to get married.

Something else I like with this group is the freedom to be a fighter or a craftsperson, or both. And in our period, the men mostly wear "skirts" too (well, a laine - no idea how to spell - pronounced len-yuh), which I get a kick out of.

it mysteriously disappeared en route to me. I blame the postal service!
