A Pirate Queen who sails the continent looking for adventure and yearns to tell about it.
Support these artists efforts to present a history of this great phenomenon that celebrates the 16th Century custom of faires first introduced by Queen Elizabeth. Enjoy and prepare to be dazzled with my personal accounts of faires and festivals this year.
Celebration is in the air. Easter has come in the early springtime, and with it the feeling of renewal, life and resurrection to perfect beauty. Music calls to some place deep within me. I want to dance and clap my hands and sing with a band of traveling gypsies. Violins play in harmony with the tamborines as we ladies swing our full skirts to the music, dancing round and round in merriement.
There is a place that my travel partner and I enjoy eating every time we visit Las Vegas. Even if we're just passing through, we stop here to eat. It's a casino right along I 15 in the heart of Vegas that serves the best Italian cuisine. The name always escapes me so I'll take a photo this time and share it with you. The dinner includes pasta with a huge bowl of salad that can be refilled, whole bulbs of roasted garlic and home baked bread.
My mouth is already watering!
I was disappointed traveling through Texas looking for a renaissance faire to try out my new skirts. It was just too windy, stormy, muddy and rainy. There were so many downpours moving through central and western Texas that an outside event would not have held up against all that water. Tornadoes have been ravaging the area, too. I think I'll return to Texas when Mother Nature gets finished birthing spring.
Tonight I finished my first post for Renaissance Model, so go check it out and tell me what you think of the story line. I would love your feedback to help me shape the direction of my blogging on this particular blog. I am certain about one thing, my writing about renaissance will involve historical delving to bring the lives of real people to the page. We owe our present day to our ancestors, and my writing is but a small tribute. But it is what I have to offer.
In memory of the people who brought us into this world, I dedicate all my historical posts in hopes that their lives will be remembered.
Ren Faire Reese
You all know how much I adore the pirates and that I have many pirate friends. Now you may not be as familiar with my fascination with ghosts. Well, it goes to say that if you're mingling with pirates that you'll run into your fair share of ghosts. I love ghosts! We'll talk more about them later, and my close encounters of the etherical kind.
As for writers, where do they fit into this threesome? Well, I am a writer. I'm a freelance creative writer, a blogger, and a ghost writer who happens to be a pirate queen. Aha! You figured out the connection.
Good news, I've been chosen to write on a renaissance blog. That is a sheer delight! I might be buying lots of new costumes this season. Check out the Renaissance Model and tell them Ren Faire Reese sent ye!
I'm traveling to higher ground. The rains in Texas have been torrential and its a little hard to keep me long skirts dry in the mud. Will you meet me in New Mexico?
Ren Faire Reese
The dusty trail carried me to the doorway of the wild wild west. I feel at home here in this vast state of Texas, where time seems to revert to those past times that I love so much. I'm a history addict. The west is in my bones and I feel the mountains calling me where I will dance and drum with all my pirate and ren friends.
New Mexico will be my next stop. I'm shopping for a great costume to start the festival season. When I find one, I'll be getting photographed so you all can see the real Ren Faire Reese. Not that I mind that cute little avatar. I do like it and will use it sometimes. I think a real photo is more personal though. As soon as I'm happy with my costume, my hairdo and my photo, I'll post it here for you all to see.
