If you were going to a Renaissance fair/wedding, who would you portray?

How fun!
I’d be a beer wench in a green corsetted dress.

My first thought was beer wench, too. Are you thinking you’d like to be a specific person from history, @Simone_De_Beauvoir?

@Seelix Oh no, just a random countess/whore, as I say it :)

That’s my problem – authentic costumes don’t make for choices that I like. I’d prefer something like this, but it’s hardly accurate. Or maybe this.

@syz No, it’s all good – that’s perfect, I’d do that too if I didn’t have this one planned!

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – I was just coming back to edit, because I realized what was up ;)

As for me, I think if I didn’t go with beer wench, I’d be some kind of concubiney whore type.

I went to one recently. I was a barbarian. My partner was a pirate. We didn’t care much for any authenticity, mostly because our friends didn’t either.

I’d be a Tavern Keep so I could boss @lucillelucillelucille around!

@Cruiser -Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
William Shakespeare

Heh heh heh ;)

@lucillelucillelucille I know this all too well! Bow to the King!!

I think I’d need some serious bleaching cream! Sounds fun though

I’d be a dashing casanova with a powdered wig & breeches so tight they’d be positively obscene. Hoorah!

I’d go as an Executioner

@Cruiser As King Lear said….“Take physic,pomp.” ;)

—@lucillelucillelucille Ohhhhh YEAH! my sweet wench?! Well I think Ben Franklin said it best when he said…
After three days men grow weary, of a wench, a guest, and weather rainy”—

Catherine de’ Medici. But I can be a bit serious about the authenticity.

@Aethelflaed Yeah, I’m not going overboard with that – pretty sure some of my stuff is Victorian not Renaissance but hey, whatever.

I’d pick a character from art or literature, like Violetta from The Twelth Night or The Girl with the Pearl Earring.

I think it be better wear a vintage hat with the uniform that popular at that time.
