Michigan RenFest

Published on September 17, 2007 By JillUser In Blogging

Here I am in my new outfit at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Brad and I are attending a medieval themed wedding at the end of the month so I figured a new outfit was in order. It was a chilly day so the cloak was a nice thing to have.

Michigan doesn't take it's festival as seriously as other places. Most people don't dress up and not many at all play along with the language and character. I know other places won't allow vendors to stray out of period and attendees get chastised for not wearing a costume.

I think the main theme of the Michigan festival is come stuff your face with turkey legs and drink beer. Of course it is always an excuse to display/oggle cleavage that you wouldn't see otherwise. Not to say there weren't some impressive musicians and entertainers but over all it seems to be morphing into some sort of out in the woods mall.

We had a very enjoyable time though. The kids stayed home with their grandparents and I got carded when ordering wine That always makes for a happy day for me.

Oh how fun! You look great too! We've only been once, but it was definitely a good time. Something you don't get to do or see very often for sure! Glad you had fun.

Hubba hubba!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You gots some cleavage goin' on, sistah! I love those costumes, the corsets do wonders for a person's figure. If you're a curvy chick to start with, they accentuate what you have - which is always good, I think.

Seriously, for a mom of three with the youngest being under a year old, you look fan-freakin'-tastic!

In my husband's hometown of Vincennes, there's a Rendezvous every Memorial Day. This year I didn't dress up, but next year.....I'm going for it!

It looks like fun. It's a very pretty costume. I would have to get some flowers or feathers for in the hair, a nice hair wreath would top it off perfectly. You do look fresh and young in this photo. No wonder you got carded. It probably helped that you didn't have the kiddos with you. It's kind of hard to pretend you're 21 when you have a ten year old calling you mom. Those kids, they're always cramping my style.

So is Brad going to wear tights? You'll have to post a picture of that. lol.

He has a costume but it doesn't include tights.
