Open Wide The Gates: Bristol Ren Faire 2012

[snogged]

This weekend marked the 25th opening weekend of the Bristol Ren Faire and yours truly was there to help with the celebration.






I love the blue and black layers. :) The girl was sweet too. I love getting to make new friends at Faire.


The men of the Barely Balanced acrobatic comedy troupe. Cameron is the founder of the group and he's the one pointing sideways. Jimmy is part of my Faire "family." He's also Loki's little brother and gives the best sweaty hugs you can get from a man on stilts.

Casey gets a neck massage.


I got to see my Stephanie! :P


Loki looks fierce in parade.


And this is my guilty pleasure purchase. The ladies of the Bast's Garden menagerie did a remarkable job re-creating my favorite dragon, Toothless, from How To Train Your Dragon. Reportedly, I got the only one with the "leather" tail fin this weekend. :P

Toothlesss!

I like your outfit. Glad you had fun.

I wish I could say that I spent less than $50 on him, but at least, I spent less than $80 and that's good, right?

Thanks! The outfit was actually a steal from a 90% off Halloween costumer rack at K-Mart a few years ago. Given the heat and humidity, it was a good choice for Saturday. I wore more traditional garb today because it was much cooler.

Toothless! Oh, how I adore that. :D

I'm glad you had so much fun.

How's Casey doing?

I just couldn't resist, you know?

Casey seems to be doing well. Her and her sister are going on a road trip together in August. She is going to be ending all treatments after the Ren Faire season though.

I love the dragon!!!
Why I think of The avengers each time I read Loki? LOL
Toothless? Cool pics!

I'm glad you like the dragon.

LOL.
I can't say I blame you for thinking of Loki from The Avengers. Though I have the opposite problem since I knew my Loki before Thor came out in theaters.

You're welcome!

I could share some video that other people of Barely Balanced if you're interested. They do a fire show for their last show of the day and although I missed it this past weekend, I have seen it before and it's awesome.

That Toothless creation is adorable! I'm glad you had a good time!

Me too!
