PEERS is a dance group with a costume addiction. <grin> PEERS doesnt stick with history or California either. There have been Gilbert and Sullivan Balls, Shanghai Swing Ball, The Black Ops Ball, Vampyres, Romeo & Julliet (any R&J from any production strongly encouraged... I did West Side Story). Kathleen commented to me once long ago that the best part about the Sci-Fi ball PEERS does every year was the excuse to dance any dance from any place and from any time frame. Six centuries of dances are suddenly fair game. If they call some English or Italian Rennaissance thing the "Centari Court Ritual Galliarde" it becomes Centari. Aint nuthin wrong with that... but an SF ball isnt much in the way of historical, either. I love the crossover costumers, re-enactors and fandom. Bring on the Victorian Klingons! --cin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
