The Rose Mortem line of dresses, gowns, skirts, veils, gloves, tops and coats has been designed to provide you with the satisfaction of “wearing the inside on the out” – of living your own fairy tale. Whether it is a gothic wedding dress in black or a fairy tale top in dripping ruffled lace, every item is hand-crafted to your measurements and specifications to create a wearable work of art, just for you.

07/24 Goth Takeover: Bristol Renaissance Faire (WI)

~* This is a “goth takeover” so invite your friends! *~  Follow on Facebook!

Details:
Welcome one and all to the second annual goth takeover of the Bristol Pleasure Faire! This event is taking place on July 24th. The Farie opens at 10am so feel free to come early, and it closes at 7pm. I will be waiting at the gates at noon for about twenty minutes to try and get a group together, however feel free to text or post on this event as you arrive so we can all meet up.

Tickets at the gate are $24.95 and can also be purchased online, or at Walgreen’s which usually has them on sale for several dollars cheaper. Finally, invite your friends, and use this page to make plans carpools, meetups, and group photos. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and make new friends! You can find more information on the website: http://www.renfair.com/bristol/

Tips:
-Expect it to be hot as satans butthole. Bring spf 666, perhaps a parasol, and dress accordingly. We may get lucky and have an overcast day, but prepare for the worst.

-Bring plenty of spending money as the ATM’s will charge a fee. Most of the regular venders take cards, but many still do not. The Faire does not allow outside food or drink.

-Have a look at the schedule: I have listed a few of my favorite events bellow, but there are all kinds of plays, lectures, bands, comedians and more happening so you may want to plan ahead if you’ve never been.

-There are two parking lots, one is $5, and a little further down the road is free parking, free parking just requires a bit of a longer walk.

-Getting a group of goths to stay together is a bit like herding cats, so feel free to get together in smaller groups, but don’t be afraid to socialize! The farie is fun, but this will be a great opportunity to make new friends, and meet people you’ve only talked to online.

Notable Events:
-The Pub Crawl: My favorite event, this happens three times a day (12 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.) it is $35 and sells out quickly. You will visit 4 pubs, getting a drink at each, and playing games while hearing profane and sexually explicit jokes. If you win any of the games you win an extra drink!

-The Final Joust: I believe generally takes place around 5:30, there are several jousts throughout the day, but the final joust is too the death. Blood will spurt and screams of anguish will be heard!

– The Danse Macabre: As the characters in the allegory of the Danse come from all walks of life, the performers of the Danse are drawn from across all of Bristol’s participants. Weather permitting, the mysterious and elusive Danse Macabre will arise near the end of the faire day for a performance that must be seen to be believed.

-2 Merry Men 7 Deadly Sins: Spin the “Wheel of Sin” and join Robin Hood and Little John as they sing you all the songs that you love so well. Twisted comedy and music, definitely not for the kiddies. Laugh and sing along with songs of burning pubs, dock side floozies, and yes…even a song about Moose. Just remember, what happens in the woods…STAYS in the woods!

These are just a few of my favorites, but there is all kinds of entertainment to be had so be sure to check the website or pick up a schedule when you get to the Faire.

“You’ll find that our clothing is not as glitzy or ornate as other vendors because we specialize in making clothing that is strong enough to last for many season of outdoor use and still look great. We choose colors and fabrics that hold up in sun, rain, mud, heat, and cold. We use only natural fibers or natural fibers blended with just enough man-made fibers to make them more comfortable, colorfast, and wrinkle resistant. We never use cheap synthetics or knit fabrics. Our goal is to make Renaissance clothing that is as comfortable and carefree to wear as your own jeans.

We also make a wider range of sizes than you will find elsewhere. We make clothing in plus sizes like 2X, 3X, and even 4X for men and women. This means that most of the time we can’t have all the colors and sizes in stock but we can have them made in a very short time. In fact, we strive to be totally responsive to our customers needs and deadlines. In most cased we can get anything in our own line of clothing made in less than a week.”
