    Dickens on the Strand Festival

    Last weekend was our annual 'Dickens on the Strand' Victorian Christmas Fest in Gaveston's historic Strand district. Happy to say that while there is still some damage here and there the Historic area is pretty much back to normal after last years ordeal with hurricane Ike. The Festival area was back up to full size, and well attended! Here's the wife and I, bright and early, ready to hit the fest. BTW, Shelley made her whole outfit herself.

    Our friend Sandy the Snow Queen checks in....
    Pimpin' ain't easy....

    And the rest of the Girltorage arrives!

    X-Marker Max (Triolamj) shows up!

    And a few folks from our renfair clan!

    The Steampunk girls from our renfair crew.

    Santa & Mrs. Claus make the scene!

    More to come...

    Nice pics of what looks like a great way to start the holiday season.
    And it looks like that pipe band is wearing MacPherson hunting!

    Nice photos. You and the Girltorage look great. My compliments to your wife on her costume. Looks like a grand time, and it's good to see the hurricane damage has been repaired.
