OOC Announcement: Post all your Character's duds for MidSummer night here! Draw'em, Polyvor'em, googl'em and link'em- You name it, it get's slapped here in this ever popular little bit of thread we like to call...

FASHION!

It's summer, it's the solstice, there's fairy and fire and all sorts of wild magic about. This celebration, as always, is about the lengthening of the days, the ripening of the crops, and the glorious, GLORIOUS days of summer. The sun's at it's hottest, the earth's at it's richest, and all the budding promise of spring has given way to the blaze of fertile energy that is the summer. Dress appropriately. ;)

Got some goodies or specialties your character plans on bringing to the event' Some FUN planned? Slap those here too! Fire spinning, juggling, dancing, music, BOOZE even! Many a Rhydinian's got some talent or another, something up there sleeve, a business, a cause, or even a feather in their cap, if you will, that they'd like to show off/contribute/talk about/etc....So show us before the big night! This is a community inspired event, so let's see some community fun!

Since Shy adores attending as many of RhyDin's celebrations as she can, she will be sure to come to this one if at all possible!

This will be her gown, and how she will wear her hair on such a fine Mid-Sommer evening:

Unable to make it home to Borreraig for Midsummer's Eve, the water witch elects to take her fire mage to the Southern Glen for the Gyspy's f?te.

http://i.imgur.com/hbCMe.gif Flowers, flowers, flowers....Now what kind of earthy, solstice affair would the witch be without some sort of flowers" Flowers for the season, flowers for protection, flowers for love, flowers for the occult- all craftily woven in a headband to adorn her mightily proud crown of wild, fiery curls.

http://i.imgur.com/VknCD.jpg The dress" Oh Goddess. All should know better than to expect Lilliana in anything less than stunningly breezy, colorful, and something easily freed from! Summer's hot, and a gypsy's blood hotter- the logical choice was something from the bottom of her trunks in the squirrel's nest of her caravan with all it's bits and baubles, odds and ends. A few stitches later and voila! A kerchief gown fit for a queen's lounge garb!

http://i.imgur.com/fdJ8a.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2J6Hh.jpg ....and what would Lilli be without her protection' Iron....Pure iron. hung from an iron series of links low enough to hover right between the burgeoning valley of her bosom. Beautifully cut and crafted of course, but iron none the less. A little bronzed copper too, mind, but all of them carefully shaped into a rudimentary series of symbols to ward off too much fairy mischief- the gypsy witch has had her full of it from year's past!

Oh yes, and a pair of earrings to match. Funny how they resemble the fangs of something large, scaled, and oft known to breathe fire, isn't it?

The Fun:

....none of you thought Lilliana McClae would throw a get together and not make anything with her own two hands to share with others, did you? If you did, for shame! What the gypsy witch whipped up special for all her solstice guests was not one, not two, but several vats FULL of Sangria chock with summery fruits and splashed ever so slightly with *fae wine. That's right. Fae wine. Although it can be found amongst the bevy of beverages offered, like casks of ale and the multitude of normal, every day wines along with the fae wine. Lilli decided to take a cask and whip it into something a little more decadent.

_____________________________________ _____________________________________

OOC Note: You all know fae wine from events past, I'd hope, but just in case you don't, lets recap:

Fae Wine is an intoxicant unlike others. It's imbued with fairy magic, and meant to be much more potent. It affects the senses faster, causes the subject to be much more sociable and less inhibited than even the strongest whiskey, and most notably, makes one much more prone to romancing. Drinkers beware and imbibe responsibly! The witch takes no responsibility for this stuff!

Some months ago MidSummer planning had asked for beer brewed by none other than the Baron himself, and house arrest be damned, he intended to see it finished. Perhaps he had the equipment carefully transported into Greyshott Place where the Watch held him; perhaps the man had slipped out during the night to toil at the brewery. He preferred to keep it a mystery.

On Friday several trucks arrived, each bearing the Silver Mark logo. There was the usual array of Silver Mark Lager, but given that it was summer they had supplied two other varieties: Evil Empire IPA and a new offering, Wit's End.

Evil Empire is an Imperial/Double IPA with a high IBU (bitterness) and a high ABV (alcohol content) that's been offered in years past: tasty, hoppy, and not for the faint of heart. Wit's End is new, though, a Quebecois take on Belgian white beers. When served cold it looks hazy, and tastes mild and slightly sweet - ideal warm-weather beer.

By the time the festival begins, there are a dozen servers working at Silver Mark tents and tables throughout the festival grounds, ready to pour you a cold one!

She may be late but at least she'll be fashionably late.
