All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

2011-09-19T18:53:00.000-07:00

I just added my piratical self to Flickr. If you want to see all of them I'll put the link to that collection. I had to recruit my boyfriend to help me. I'm glad I thought to use my bone chair. I never realized before how it fit the pirate theme. The same thing with my blouse. I got it from Holy Clothing just because I liked it. I never even thought that it would be an even better pirate blouse than the one I made which was faded and needed replacing anyway.

Now that I am home again I can post the pirate photos I took on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Aarrgghhh! No one else wanted to play with me. They were all tired from the baby shower.

Ahoy matey. This be Talk Like a Pirate Day 2010. My mateys were swamped from a day of drinking and swearin'. So only myself alone wore my 'borrowed' pirate hat and used the magic box to capture my image. And as I am out to sea for the nonce, I will post said images upon my return to southern ports after two moons have passed. I do hope you got to partake as well.

Pumpkins on the Pier

This was the most fun ever. We painted faces for 3 hours solid. Here are some of the photos from our pirate face painting booth. The tiger is my grandson Hudson.

2008-09-20T09:46:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and as I was alone all day, I had no one to talk to, but I did take some photos to celcbrate the day and some of them were even picked up for a public news article on line.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

Tank Bluewolf and Luna Silverstar

2008-06-13T23:44:00.000-07:00

Tank Bluewolf and I are enjoying our pirating escapades under my name, Luna Silverstar over at Pirates Online. Only last night I took a break to go to dinner and when I got back the site was closing for maintenance and no sign of Tank Bluewolf. So phooey. Today I was on for a few hours and didn't see him on my friend's list. And now it's almost midnight already and I have to get up early to go to a juggling party for World Juggling Day. So no pirates for me tonight. Arrr.

I also play with a pirate named Jumpin Jack Slash. Best pirate name ever, heh.

Seeking Tank Bluewolf

2008-06-10T02:22:00.001-07:00

Luna Silverstar is looking for Tank Bluewolf. I'm just hoping google picks this up so you can find me. I tried making the gmail LunaSilverstar but it is already taken. Seems the name I made up out of the clear blue sky is a character in someone else's fiction, so the name is in a lot of places. Drat. Never thought to google my pirate's online name up before. Same problem with bluewolf. Lots of bluewolf listings on google. Oh well maybe you will find me via blog. If so drop me a line at queenofdreams@gmail.com. Peace out.

Bejeweled Skeleton Key Hair Ornament

2008-04-08T18:05:00.000-07:00

I just love this hair ornament I designed. And I listed it in my Etsy shop though I'm not sure if I can bear to part with it. I'm so excited about the way it came out.

Skulls skulls everywhere.

Pirate Game online

2008-03-18T11:54:00.000-07:00

I've been playing that online Pirates of the Carribean game. Even at the lowest graphics setting my computer freezes up at times. And my person is always jumping out of her hair! Pretty funny really. But my oh my is that game addicting. You've been warned Matey! http://www.piratesonline.com.

My two pirates are Ruby Daggerz and Seraphina Royale.

Great Cannonballs of Fire

2008-03-12T19:31:00.000-07:00

Well me hearties I am working on me pirate juggling show. I must say my back is tired from chasing objects underneath other objects. So far the props I plan to use are daggers, firestaff, torches, cannonballs (croquet balls painted black) hoops made of rope or fabric, flower stix, my contact juggling spheres, and some sort of juggling clubs 'not' made of plastic. Also, I'm crocheting 3 faux chickens to juggle I'm not sure if I want a dowel in them as a handle. Or just treat them like any stuffed animal I might juggle. Hmmm. Things to ponder for sure.

Simplicity

2008-02-18T11:42:00.000-08:00

The Simplicity pattern company has come out with a plethora of new pirate costuming patterns. I waited for the .99 sale on President's weekend, but I had to go to two different Joann's to get all the costuming patterns on my list. So now I just have to get busy sewing. Can't run around nakie you know.

Pirates of the Car. 2 Dead Man's Chest

2006-07-07T09:19:00.000-07:00

I got to the special showing an 1 1/2 hours early only to find that they had already started seating people in 2 theaters and each one was already about 75% full. Luckily, I still got the seat I wanted, but had I been ten minutes later I wouldn't have. Some girls behind me said they'd already waited in line for two hours before they let them in. So my plan to go an hour early would have been a disaster.
Anyway, I won't spoil the film by dropping any details here. I'll just say it's creative and excellent so go see it.

Pirates of the Carribean 2

2006-07-06T09:30:00.000-07:00

Today I get to put on my pirate persona and attend a special viewing of Pirates of the Carribean 2 at the Krikorian theater in Buena Park at midnight. I already have my ticket and hope to get there an hour early to make sure I get a good seat. Yesterday at noon the event was already 35% sold out so I bought a ticket. And hopefully being a midnight showing, it will be mostly adults there. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tall Ship Runs Aground

2005-03-21T17:43:00.000-08:00

According to the Channel 4 news in S. Calif. a tall ship has hit a sandbar near Oxnard, CA. Four crew members were ejected when it hit, but no one has been seriously injured. Coast guard and fire crews are trying to get a line on it so they can pull it into deeper waters before it breaks apart on the jetty.

Halloween photos 2004

2004-11-01T11:31:00.000-08:00

This is the first Halloween in as long as I can remember where I wasn't booked as a psychic reader. I took advantage of that and turned my porch into Pirate's Cove and here are the photos I took of some of the Halloween excitement. I hope you enjoy them.

Sca pirate event on Sat.

2004-10-29T10:40:00.000-07:00

I just found out about an SCA event with a pirate theme that is tomorrow. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting that pirate coat sewn, or getting a decent corset. But I may still throw on the costume I wore at the Harbor Festival and get on out there. It's in Heatherwyne (Pomona area).

When I hosted a new pirate meeting, I wore my pirate hat so people could find me. Unfornately, I was the only member.

Pyrate Ruby Daggerz

2004-10-26T14:29:00.000-07:00

Pirates are fascinating. While other kids were playing cowyboys and indians or cops and robbers, we were playing pirates. The pirate motif keeps creeping it's way into my life. So I thought I'd have a blog to post my pirate stuff. Arrghhh!
