There's a crispness in the air and the leaves are turning fantastic colors, must mean that Fall is right around the corner... maybe in Vermont. Here in Texas it was Hot, Humid and Rainy which is about right for the beginning of our Fall weather. The one sure way to know which season is which, though, is the Texas Ren-Faire starting up down near Houston. Our little group made it down there on the one weekend that was the best of the season (we told everyone that we slipped the "Powers that Be" an extra fiver for that) and got some great pictures of some familiar friends and made some new friends. So please enjoy our pics of the-

Let's start off with a lovely lady we met out at the Faire last year. Please welcome back the beautiful Aussie. As you may remember, last year she was wearing that great leather outfit, this time we were able to catch two additional moods of this lethal lass. One in fiery red and the other in a more softer, yet still deadly blue silk. (Hey, this is starting to sound more like a fashion show!)

Next we have a lass who goes by the name of Kitty. A Leo by birth (and a giant tease by nature) this fiery red head is a lover of all animals and a collector of daggers. You could say that this kitten has some very sharp claws and we think that's purrrr-fect! As for our man, Jackie Chan, she thinks he is one amazing actor.

Gwenhwyfar, or Gwen as we call her, describes herself as a searcher and discoverer. And although she is a Lady on the outside, she is also a child of Autumn on the inside, longing to dance in the harvest moon. That's a dance we'd enjoy dancing with her. As for the Chan Man, she claims that she and Jackie are soulmates. Lucky guy!

Angelina, the only daughter to the King's Royal Guard. As you can see, although she appears as a graceful and refined Lady in public, she is also full of Chaos and Wonder. We were fortunate to catch her trying on this outfit for the Royal Masked Ball an affair that will soon be full of Mirth and Mayhem (if she has anything to say about it). This lucky lass has also had the chance to meet Jacie Chan in person. As she puts it, "Yea Jackie!"

Defender of the forest, she loves Mother Earth and fights with both steel and magic to protect her. She believes that the soul of her blades can overcome any evil and also believes that Jackie Chan kicks ass! We agree.

And lastly (but not leastly) a wonderful gal we met out at this year's Scarborough Faire. Lady Silver is one special lass who has been enamored of just about every blade in the Angel Sword shop, but her heart now belongs to a beautiful Kwon by name of "Puff". Although her intended was not out at the shop, she definitely enjoyed posing with many of Daniel's other edged creations.

And lastly, here's one more picture of this lovely lady with an awesome blade known as "Neptune". The blade is owned by Don, the chap who also took the pic. Don is a fellow photographer that we hope will soon be able to join our merry band of maniacs and add his talents to this site.

 

Well that's it for all the pictures we took out at this year's Faire. If you enjoyed looking at these pictures half as much as we enjoyed taking them... then we still had twice as much fun as you! ;-) We'll have more for you come next spring and Scarborough Faire '05!
