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

I just MAKE STUFF. Some, I wear (modern, 19thC, SCA, whenever). Some, I print (antique printing press). Some, I read (bookbinding). Some, I wash with (soap). Some, I eat (canning, jams/jellies). Make more stuff. Good! Just wear the right one, don't eat the soap, and wash up after eating

Nope. It's another genre that may or may not appeal to goths - bit like emo. But steampunk is verging on mainstream now, so isn't really what it was. In a message dated 25/03/2010 02:12:45 GMT Standard Time, h-costume-requ...@indra.com writes: Has goth (clothing and events)
