But there is no pouring water over the silk gown to cool off :( I wear linen peasants to this event. It isn’t uncommon to see temperature above 90 and into the 100s.

Portrait of Alexandra Mazowiecka

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I finally got the portrait Lauren drew for me at the Valhalla Renaissance faire scanned! The portrait session was a gift from another member of Royal White Eagle. It was a pleasure to sit, relax, and get my portrait drawn.
