The Renaissance Festival: Exposed

--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--
My husband and I along with our kids and some of our friends recently went to the Renaissance Festival in Muskogee, OK (where? I don't know either.)
Over all we had a lovely time but we were quite surprised with some of the interesting people we saw there. Granted, some of the weirdness seen this day was expected. Those that were not are noted as such.

EXPECTED: Guys in floofy hats

Welcome to the Renaissance Festival! I killed 84 peacocks to make my hat.

NOT EXPECTED: Granny's saggy baggy bottom
This is THE very first thing we saw this day. Way to start, huh?
(Click to enlarge. DO IT.)

EXPECTED: The King
Although we did not expect to see random non-festival worker informing the king of a supposed poisoned well. O.o

NOT EXPECTED: Satyr girl
Cool costume though.

EXPECTED: Smithy of sorts

NOT EXPECTED: Mullet extraordinaire

EXPECTED: Dancing and merriment

NOT EXPECTED: Dancing Parisian watermelon clown girl

EXPECTED: Wenches
Although, I'm not sure these are renaissance wenches?

NOT EXPECTED: To be haunted by saggy baggy granny AGAIN!
We actually saw her THREE times this day. She wanted to make sure this image was burned into our memories for eternity.

EXPECTED: Dancing 'round the maypole

NOT EXPECTED: Flubby belly dancers

EXPECTED: Cool renaissancey costumes

NOT EXPECTED: Moose-racoon-pikachu-tie dye wack-a-doo girl

Holy grail, anyone?

NOT EXPECTED: SO many dudes in tighty-tight tights

EXPECTED: Sword fighting


NOT EXPECTED: Harry potter with a GIRL on a LEASH.
ummm....??

EXPECTED: Knight riding down the road

NOT EXPECTED: THIS
There were many of these but this one we call the "mother load". Fitting, yes?

EXPECTED: Throne room complete with King and Queen

NOT EXPECTED: Washed up Cinderella

NOT EXPECTED: Genghis Khan
But cool costume!

EXPECTED: Jousting!

NOT EXPECTED: Gushing bloody death at end of tournament.
O.o

THE END

See ya, weirdos!

And just because I KNOW you wanted one more look...
