Hello, my Creatures.
Since the most recent Life On a Stick comic took place during our excursion to the Georgia Renaissance Festival, it occurred to me that I never posted any pictures of myself in costume, here on the site. It’s a well-known fact that I will use the flimsiest of excuses to dress up in a ridiculous costume, and the Ren Fair is no exception. Heck, it’s not even really a flimsy excuse. It’s a great one.
I’m not really big on historical accuracy, so I usually go for fantasy-themed garb. This time was no exception, especially since my pal Jennie (of Devil’s Panties) TOTALLY twisted my arm and convinced me to go dressed as a kobold…Erm. Short version, for the non-Dungeons & Dragon-initiated out there: a kobold is small, lizard-like humanoid, of distant dragon lineage. Think of them kind of like really industrious, lizard-like vermin. I’ve come to adore the under-appreciated kobold (not surprising, given my affinity for real world under-appreciated creatures…I’m looking at you, possums! <3 ), and cobbled together a costume that went something like this:
Oh glob. Those pants.
Though, I must say, I am proud of how vibrant a shade of turquoise they turned out (thanks Rit Dye!)
And that is correct, folks. Costume comes complete with detachable tail that doubles a both a decoy AND a quick snack. This concludes this session of Pictures of SurlyQueen Dressed Like a Total Idiot!
That’s all for now, and as always: Thanks for reading!
