Rennie Stuff!



If you're looking for the links, scroll past the pictures. Thanks!

As mentioned before, I absolutely love anything to do with medieval or renaissance stuff, and my (partial) collection of links proves that!!! I've had too much free time when I had to leave school. I'm a member of the Grand Valley State University Renaissance Festival (its so much fun!). I must say that these Rennies are some of the coolest people! We have way too much fun... I'm in charge of Advertising and Public Relations, so I keep myself really busy during the summer and and early fall! And now I'm on court, so I have new garb! From The Very Merry Seamstress . Check out her site, she has tons of GORGEOUS gowns. I'm also getting a custom hat from Polyhymnia Concepts, LLC (they also have beautiful gowns!). The 4th and 5th was the 8th annual GVSU Renaissance Faire, and we had beautiful weather for it (slightly chilly but generally sunny!!!)! We had awesome turnout and on top of our paid entertainers, GV Ren put on some of our own shows (Pirate show and The Perfect Woman) which were AWESOME!! Can't wait 'til next year!

Megan, Lisa, Julia and I taking a break inside during the 2003 GVSU faire. Woohoo for the court!

I think they titled this one "Naughty Countess." C'mon, if they wanted me to be straight laced ALL DAY LONG they should have known better than to put me (the one who played the madwoman 2 years ago) on court!!

Some of the ladies of the Grand Valley Court at the Silver Leaf Renaissance Festival in July 2003.


Duchess Constance Kelleway (Lisa) and Marchioness Arianna Karlisse (Megan) acting slightly improper and having their souls stolen while nobody is looking during the 2003 Grand Valley Renaissance Fest FEAST in March. Huzzah for the Court table!


The Medieval Dominatrix (Diane) and The Countess (me)! You can't handle these sexy biotches.
