'cause in North America, renaissance fairs exist for one reason.
Okay, two reasons:
One - to sell 9USD turkey legs, and 8USD 12 ounce beers to morons.
Two - to give the average SCA member a group that they can look down on.
I present:
Where is the Renaissance in the Festival?

But Adam, look at the market it's opened for leather pixie horn-hats, animal tails and chain maille bikinis! What could possibly be unhistoric about that?

I don't know a whole lot about Ren Fairs other than I saw a photo once and the girl had wings on.
Now feeling much more happy with my wench garb though so thank you!

Well, it was the womens that caught my eye, though I haven't heard of any men wearing them. There was this Conan character, sorta, who was wearing only two rabbit skins and a leather string around his waist. My daughters were kind of impressed when the wind gusted suddenly.
Nuff said, eh?

Mental Image Removal? Here, let me help. He looked like a quarterback or maybe what we used to call a "split end". Heh. and he evidently spent quite sufficient time in a tanning booth not to have a tan line. Hair a lot like Fabio...actually he looked a bit like Fabio. Does that help?

Ummm, yeah. What Kat said. About the image, not dreams of Vorenus or Fabio. Thanks a lot, David :lol: Although, if he was macho enough to wear a chain mail speedo, then perhaps no one would begrudge him

Ouch! I thought this thread was about me untill I re-read it and realized it wasn't possible because my skin is pale white. Yup, no tanning bed glow here, but man, 2 rabbit skins is where its at when it comes to ancient or medieval wardrobe choices.
