My first Twelfthnight costume was in 1973. I don't know what Margo
was
doing that long ago,
I was in high school. :) I made a few costumes for school plays, and
went to my first Renaissance Faire at Black Point. Most of my sewing
went into my personal wardrobe, as I was attempting to rock the Janis
Joplin Rich Hippie look.
It was a few years later that I really started to understand what
serious historical costume was supposed to look like. Kayta had a
hand in that, after I met her in Golden Gate Park when her group was
having a historical theme picnic in a reserved area, and my friends
and I had shown up with no permit or reservation to do a Pagan
ritual. The were very nice and understanding to flaky us, and I
thought what they were doing looked like a whole lot of fun.
So be nice to the newbies, you never know who you might be inspiring!
Margo
