yup, there are some serious historic costumers around. and in 2
years it comes to Baltimore where I'm the Historic Masquerade
Director! I'm hoping for lots of good entries, so come on out.
We're working on getting a website up, so no url to point you to
(reg is $70 til the end of the year).
We're expecting an absolutely huge historical competition next year
in San Jose. California is just loaded with clubs, organizations and
businesses that organize re-creation events. The Greater Bay Area
Costumers Guild, Period Events Entertainments and Recreations (known
as "PEERS," a vintage dance group), the Bay Area English Regency
Society and the Renaissance fairs don't even scratch the surface. Our
historical masquerade team is very well connected in these circles.
Shelly Monson's community/hobbyist credentials are fabulous; she's
worked numerous historical fairs in the Bay area and teaches
workshops on many different period garments and techniques. Ellie
Farrell is the gal who organized and entered "Alice's Restaurant" in
historical masquerade a decade or so back to prove that it was
possible to document the 1960's just as thoroughly as the 1560's.
We're expecting great things from them...
