I like being a pirate and I think there should be a Captain Morgan's Renaissance Faire.  There you have it in a nutshell.I make costumes and attempt to sell them.  I also wear costumes to entertain a certain guest.  I make costumes out of unwanted household fabrics like couch slip covers and valances and table runners.  As in,  "OH!  was that wrong!?!" 

This is my costume site which is not selling anything.  most of this stuff is either sold or not for sale:  historicalcostumenerds.ning.com/

This is my pirate social network which also does not sell anything:  yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.ning.com/
