Photo Thread: In Costumes!

[ThomCat]

Me, JennaLaw, and FanGrrl at the Renaissance Faire last Saturday.



We had a wonderful time for most of the day. :)

But both FanGrrl and I were in bad shape by the end of the day. She was sick and couldn't eat, and I was so badly hurt from getting pushing in a wheelchair over gravel paths that I spent the past 2 days in bed recovering. :(

Ah well, it's best to remember the good times, so that's what we took pictures of.

1. What a great picture and great costumes! n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear ThomCat!

Oh, that is a wonderful pic, sweetie!

Alas, I have no pictures of me in any sort of costume...

It does me so much good to see you getting out...even if you were in bed for the last two days.

You had a very good reason for all that rest.

Thank you for posting this!

:hug:

3. Bella and me last Halloween

Me in a terrible Cleopatra costume


My husband and me a few Halloweens ago. Terrible acting on my part!

[Dr. Strange]

6. Au contraire!

Me in a terrible Cleopatra costume

I'll be in my sarcophagus.

[ThomCat]

22. Awww, I Love that lil chilli pepper!

:loveya:

I'll have to take your word for that being a bad Cleopatra costume. It looks fine in the photo. :)

I'd say all that matters in that last picture is that he managed to get your heart. :P

[crim son]

4. I love that picture, Thom!

You guys look great! :D

Not exactly costumes, though it was a fashion show:

[gmoney]

7. Wow... the day George Michael auditioned for Human League

This belongs in the Smithsonian or something.

[crim son]

13. Laughing.

Those were the days!

[Aristus]

10. Mm-Mm! Crimmy is pretty-pretty!

Here's me in costume as Montresor in "The Cask Of Amontillado":

[crim son]

12. Mmmm. Aristus is pretty darned pretty himself.

Wow.

[Aristus]

19. It's the brocade, right?

Chicks dig the brocade... ;-)

I think they also like the fact that any of my enemies who venture upon insult get walled up alive... :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

38. That was a nice look.

A nice vest is almost always a good choice. :)

Did the show go over well?

[Aristus]

40. Yeah, it was great.

After I finished walling in Fortunato, I swaggered off-stage laughing a crazed, evil laugh. The audience loved it. B-)

[Blue_Tires]

46. i remember that...

the punishment was WAYYYYY out of proportion with the breach of etiquette in that one....

[ThomCat]

23. Showing, yet again, how truly beautiful you are.

:loveya:

Though, 80s fashions definitely qualify as costumes, I think. :P

[Blue_Tires]

47. lol..what year?

"It's the eighties....Do a lotta coke and vote for Ronald Reagan..."

/MST3K

[crim son]

49. I'm thinking 1983.

I quite college for a while to become a cosmetologist :eyes:

[TZ]

5. That looks like so much fun!

I have to find someone to go with me when our local RenFest starts next month! Sorry it took so much out of you though..:hug:

[seemunkee]

8. Sorry you had to pay for your good time

Here is my daughter in a hedgehog costume I made for her

[ThomCat]

24. That is Awesome! That definitely beats any store-bought costume.

I'm sure all her friends were jealous and impressed. :)

It looks like it wasn't too complicated to construct, which is also a bonus. Good Job!

[guitar man]

9. My daughter last Halloween

[ThomCat]

25. She is beautiful lil Honey Bee! I hope she had a wondful time.

:)

11. King Richards Faire & PA Renfaire

King Richards Faire in S. Carver, MA with my daughter. My favorite fall fair. I'll be going again this fall with my daughter and my 4 yr old granddaughter.



PA Renfaire making a new "friend"....



(Yikes, this one is rather large...photobucket don't let you adjust the size apparently. Oh well, don't feel like editing & uploading.)

Edit: figured it out.

[ThomCat]

29. I've never been to either of those ren faires.

I know the one is NJ has a reputation of not being worth the effort. How are the ones in PA and MA?

You and your daughter are beautiful! :)

[_dynamicdems]

48. PA was okay, I just went once because a group of friends were meeting there.

the one in PA was larger than King Richards, but it wasn't really any better.

King Richards is nice. It's not overly huge, but it's homey, if that makes sense. I've gone there for so many years and there have been changes (they tried a mechanical dragon at one point) but mostly it stays the same, which is what I like about it. Also the honey meade is memorable. And their jousts are the funniest. I've many fond memories of cheering for the bad guys (cheat to win!). But they always get carried off in the body cart. So predictable! :)

I've never been to the one in NJ, but have heard mixed reviews. More often they agree with what you heard: not worth the effort.



(Thank you for the compliment. It's fun to dress up and be "Ladies" every now and then.)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

very cute thom.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. very cute thom.

[ThomCat]

30. Thank you.

:)

[Critters2]

15. Thanks for sharing the pic, Thom!

Glad you had a wonderful time, at least most of the day!

[Ohio Joe]

16. Halloween a few years back

[ThomCat]

31. Which one were you?

:P

:hi:

[CreekDog]

17. Great photos!

Glad you had fun. :hug:

I'm glad you are feeling better now.

[bigwillq]

18. Great pic!

:) :hi:

[ThomCat]

32. Thank you!

You know, we're all still waiting for new pictures of you. :)

[Parche]

20. awesome!!

:hug: :loveya:

[ThomCat]

33. Thank you.

:hug:

[JTG of the PRB]

21. Me, from Halloween last year.

They kept warning me, "Frodo, don't wear the Ring," but I couldn't help myself! :cry:

[ThomCat]

34. That is wonderful!

You pull off a really good Frodo. :)

Were you barefoot? While that would add some authenticity to the costume, I can't imagine that is practical. On the other hand, where would you find slippers that look like big hairy hobbit feet? :P

[JTG of the PRB]

39. I will answer your question with a second photo from that night:

Gross? perhaps. Hobbit-like? Abso-freaking-lutely! :)

[ThomCat]

42. Very cool!

:applause:

[Robeson]

26. My Halloween pic from a couple a years ago....

...

[ThomCat]

35. I love it.

Very simple, very dangerous, and very timely as a warning. :evilgrin:

"Remember, Remember the 5th of November..."

[BarenakedLady]

27. Looks like fun!

:)

[NNadir]

28. Here I am dressed up as a cheesehead of a sort.

[DarkTirade]

36. I know in my head that it wasn't in a good way...

... but you shouldn't use the phrase 'two days in bed' where I can read it. You know where my mind is going to go immediately. :) :hug:

[ThomCat]

37. Well, you could always come down here and

help make my days stuck in bed more comfortable and pleasant. :P

[AllenVanAllen]

41. "Do you need another Caucasian?"

"Does the Pope shit in the woods?"



Me as The Dude from The Big Lebowski couple of years ago.

[ThomCat]

43. Did you speak and swear like the dude all evening too?

:P

Excellent costume. :)

[AllenVanAllen]

44. "What the fuck you talking about?"

Just kidding! :P
I didn't swear much more than I usually do. It was a fun costume to put together and pretty much everybody at the party knew who I was too. One person did ask "Are you supposed to be Jesus?"
Thanks for the compliment!

[Orsino]

45. Me and Stephen Colbert, 1983.

In the green room, costumed for A. A. Milne's one-act "The Ugly Duckling":

[ThomCat]

51. Seriously? Is that really you with Stephen Colbert

before he was famous? :)

[Rambis]

50. Great Kilt

[ThomCat]

52. Ah, now, I am not sure a kilt really qualifies as a costume.

:P

It looks good, and you wear it well. But unless you're pretending to be Scottish and/or Irish, that's just clothing, not a costume. :)

[Rambis]

53. point taken :) (nm)
