Re: [h-cost] Dressing a Victorian Lady
This actully happened o me early in my heckered career in the SCA. First of all... I have NEVER been of a size that inspire men to toss me around. So i am at my first dance at coronaion and we are dancing "the official bransle" (also known in the ommon language as " Toss the Duchess" my dance parttner, a strapping black bearded man of limitless humor , is talking me through it as i dance sote unseen .[oh yes i am wearing full elizabeathan.] James directed me to turn , face him and bend my knees. By the time i realized what caame next ( while he dug his fingerd into the bottom of my stays) and was propelled skyward , shrieking,it was al over but the laughter. The stays held thouh an nevr shifted, my virtue intact. -Original Message- Date: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 9:53:24 pm To: "Historical Costume" From: "Ann Catelli" Subject: Re: [h-cost] Dressing a Victorian Lady I saw the video--very funny presentation!
