Renaissance Festival War Stories Sept 20/21, 2025
Continued from week 4... "I'm not a 10..." One of my favorite new things I've been doing is to "enhance people's costumes." It isn't much, I don't even do anything myself - I instruct them how to style a cape if they are wearing one. The basic principal takes the cape from tying it on their collar bone to tying it behind their back and it changes the overall framing of their body. It works on about three out of four people because of the quality of the capes - ones who it doesn't work on, the strings on them are too short for the wrap around the back to work. One such man, in all dark clothing and reminded me of Ving Rhames. I tried to teach him this technique but his chest was too broad. He was barrel/ox-chested, and there was no way his cape strings were going to fit around his back.

However, thanks to the desire to make the imaginary possible, it became a golden duckling. And when such assets are in your hands, you need to build them the strongest nest possible, and to ensure they stay in place without any connection to art, it's best to add at least seven pillars of support. Like any self-important corporation, Disney claims it built it from scratch, disregarding all those who made it what it is today.
