My first year as an official participant at the Minnesota
Renaissance Festival. This is Victoria Belardi and my real life son
in 1989. You can see how much he has grown when you check out the
pictures of him below and on my wedding album page when he walked me down
the aisle! (Sorry for the quality of the photo-cheap disposable camera!)
This is Vasa's Daughters in our first year, 1990.
I am Velda (upper left), Volga in on the right and finally, Vilma is in
the front. We had fun fitting patrons with our custom designed bejeweled
codpiece, participating in Vilification Tennis and posing for MANY portrait
opportunities!
Our second year as Vasa's, Vilma had gone on to other
realms.
She was replaced with our P.I.T. (Prince In Training).
Isn't he cute?
He is Rosebud, Airhead to the Throne of King Vasa
of Sweden.
He would find suitable mates and present them with
a Contract for Marriage.
The first year of Rosalily Bud.
Rosalily in 1993, after losing 65 pounds!
Unfortunately, they found there way back.
The Royal Falconer, John Karger, with a falcon.
You can see him at the Royal Mews Stage. He is part of Last
Chance Forever, which saves injured birds and release them back
into the wild when they are ready. You must see his show-it makes
you appreciate our feathered friends.
This wonderful Bald Eagle was saved by Last Chance Forever.
Unfortunately, he could not be released as he only has one wing.
However, he is happy procreating!
This is my son, Cedric Thorne (in my side) McBoodle
and myself as Rosalily Bud. It was his second year as a participant.
He really loved wearing a kilt...claimed it was a "chick magnet"!
That year, 1996, he organized a tribute to "Braveheart" at our closing
day gate show. Yes, up on our hill, overlooking the parking lot and
front gate, he and several brave Scots bent over and showed us all just
what is under a Scotsmen's kilt!
My "motley" Special Events Pavilion stage crew in 1996.
As you can see, they were a surly bunch! It is difficult to see in
this picture, but above my head a dagger is being wielded. Did my
crew love me or what?
Well, well, well...look what happens to you when you are
caught looking up a kilt! But then the punishment was worth it...I'll
even do it again!
What have we here? Could it be...yes, it is our
own shire's Lord Mayor! I'm not sure what he was put in the stocks
for, but I DO know it was not the same charges as mine.
Our own Court Revelers making beautiful music with their
voices. Or are they laughing at the Mayor's predicament?
One of my favorite rituals every morning before
opening at the Special Events Pavilion. The sight of so many Scotsmen
readying their kilts! We nicknamed our stage "The Sacred Pleating
Grounds".
What's this? Could it be someone checking what is
under a lasses skirts? Actually, the gentleman (I use that term loosely)
is helping to make last minute adjustments to her underclothing before
our "Best Bloomers Contest". At least, that is what he told her!
