It's the Medieval Conference at Kalamazoo that gives me the most
problems. Every other place I sell books, I'm wearing medieval or
Renaissance SCA clothes, but there modern clothing is all I've ever
seen. Some of the participants (professors who already have tenure?) slum
it in jeans and tee shirts but since there is a lot of professional
networking going on, most dress better than that. Trying to find clothes
that look somewhat professional, that I can work in all day, with
variations for unpredictable climatic conditions (one year it was up to 90
on the first week of May) and that I already own makes me crazy! It's so
much easier to dress in costume!

Hi Janet,
I am not sure if it would work for you, but I am remembering seeing Prof.
Tara McGinnis at Costume College for her lecture on photography and
costumes. She was dressed in a nice black frock-coat with a white shirt I
think, and dark pants, with her hair pulled back a bit, iirc. It was that
coat that was just the perfect period accent to an otherwise modern getup.
I have her photo around here somewhere, but not online. And just in writing
this, I may have to make something similar for myself, although frock coats
are not my period.
hth,
Kimiko
