The LA Renaissance Faire aka The Traveling Medieval Orgy
Best Saturday ever: RENN FAIRE with Yasi, Desa, and Camille followed by POINT BREAK LIVE with Charlie who is shaping up to be the most fun dude I've met in the entire year and 2 months I've officially lived in LA. Shall we?
We were obsessed with her 1970's hand-carved, glazed Burl purse. It even had a silk lining and a clean label. P-retty sure it was made by the Keebler Elves.
My crew
So I snapped this:
then turned around and saw this:
And asked if this was with that:
She said no, but then proceeded to walk over to her Twilight T-shirt Twinsie and bond. Of course they did look at them. THEY'RE FUCKING SOULMATES. I think I may have quite possibly ushered in the birth of a beautiful connection between two like-minded people? Although they were just one heathen-horned Medieval craft booth away from meeting anyhow.
Bought 5 bottles of miniature fairy dust from the human sunflower (right after I asked her to be my grandma)
DONT TOUCH! I already sent this into Awkward Family Photos. Not kidding.
Dear adorable nerds,
This is you now:
And this is you looking into a 20-year mirror:
She told me she bleached chicken and turkey bones and cooked them in lye (that she scored Tyler Durden?) Okkkkeeeyyyyy
My new refrigerator magnet
Camille bought a corset. She treats Renn Faire like its a witchy shopping spree. She really went nuts, but we all cleaned up on wizard jewelry, maiden hairpieces, and leathery swaths of medieval accessories. A word to the ladies: BRING LOTS MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL SPEND IT ON EPIC SHIT
This black, angelic Slipnkot-loving Leprechaun nerd kind of caught my heart. We ended up broing for a minute near the bathrooms. I had MAD game at Renn Faire, actually. It was my princessy pirate shirt I think (thx Desa!!!)
"SEX"
This guy was amazing. He had insane aqua-white lenses in his eyes and was owning it. He graciously spared me the boner-killing CGI Riverdance footwork that Johnny Depp unfortunately provided at the end of Alice in Wonderland. Did you see it? Did he brutally murder the 20-year crush you'd had on him since 21 Jumpstreet as well? I don't understand where his agent was to step in and ensure that the world's-unsexiest-presentation-outside-of-the-Six-Flags-old-guy-dance would be nixed from his Alice in Wonderland contract. I mean WHAT THE FUCK JOHNNY?!?
Camille was feeling this kid
My favorite couple of the day: Steampunks. These two are in it to win it! Nice to see these hot woolen costumes worn as a labor of love and not by a Bushwick bicycle freak who bartends in an overpriced Williamsburg speakeasy and dresses like he's in There Will Be Blood and wears bespoke cotton shirts from Freeman's Sporting Club with suspenders and a monocle because girls will like him more. Has anyone else noticed this ridiculous trend happening in Brooklyn and the LES? Fancy hipsters come in all sorts, but don't worry ladies... this too shall pass.

PART TWO of the funnest day ever coming next...
