To: Baron Henri du Bois From: Le Chevalier Roland Chanteur d'Aubade My Lord,
A young lady of my acquaintance, Mlle Tara Firma, was delightwed when I told her of your masquerade ball on All Hallow's Eve. She immediately begged me to take her shopping for material to make costumes. Allow me therefore to submit to you this brief description of the costumes Mlle Firma and I will be wearing: Mlle Tara Firma will be dressed in the guise of Artemis, goddess of the hunt. The main part of the costume consists of a snow white tunic trimmed in gold thread and belted in gold ribbon below the bosom to be worn over the smallclothes and petticoats, but without the hoops and bustles (your Lordship must forgive the seeming scandalousness of this, but propriety is sacrificed only in the name of authenticity. Allow me to assure your Lordship that the costume is in all other wise perfectly respectable.). Boots cross-gartered in gold ribbons are worn on the feet and a crown of golden laurel leaves on the head. A small, ornamental bow and small quiver of arrows complete the costume. I shall be attired in the fashion of Apollo, god of the arts. The costume resembles very much Mlle Firma's described above, consisting in the main of a brilliantly white tunic with trim in gold thread worn over the smallclothes and singlet and belted at the waist with a chain of gold links. Boots cross-garted in gold ribbon and crown of gold laurel leaves will be worn in much the same fashion as Mlle Firma. Completing the costume will be a small gold lyre. In hopes that these costumes meet with your approval, I remain Your faithful servant, Roland Chanteur d'Aubade. (OOC: Sorry for the lateness of this message. RCdA askes to be admitted to HdB's party in week 4 of October) _______________________________________________ Banana mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.humf.su.se/mailman/listinfo/banana
