FAQ

1. Do you sew your own costumes?
No, I am a costume DESIGNER, not a seamstress. I wish I *COULD* sew! I have tried and even taken lessons but it is something that does not work well for me or for those within striking distance of me. ;0) I also pick up pre-made pieces on eBay from time to time. I LIVE on eBay and that is where I get most everything in my life! I would have bought my daughter on eBay with the "Buy It Now" option if I could have.

2. Where do you get your costumes made?
Gabrielle's Vintage Reproductions & Karin McKechnie!

3. Can you tell me where you got your *insert costume piece of your choice*?
Uh...no. Dont' ask. I'm sorry, but I have most of my costumes CUSTOM MADE to my designs and specifications, in the hopes of wearing "one of a kind" pieces for at least a little while until someone rips me off. I'm an artist and my designs are personal and my own self-expression. I do, however, offer costume consulting for men and women in many eras for a small bartering fee (usually rum), so email me about it!

4. How do you get your hair THAT red?
As a pyratess, I have found that dying my hair with the blood of those who oppose me creates an AWESOME shade of red! Actually, it's quite a BITCH to get it like this and keep it this way (so few dare to oppose me so I run out of my secret "dye" frequently). Once, my homie Capt. Calico Jack Rackham gave me some scarlet calico dye from India to help me out, but it was a one-time favor.

5. What kind of makeup do you use?
I just mostly use MAC cosmetics mixed with some drug store favorites. I also love a line called "Besame". They are wonderful for vintage looks!

6. What the heck do you use on your eyebrows that could possibly match that hair of yours?
MAC strikes again, babies! A steady hand and some MAC PAINTS in "Flamable". Takes practice, as it's not a pencil but just lay off the grog until you're done with your makeup and you should be fine!

7. Why haven't you responded to my message or email that I sent you?
Please don't get mad at me. I don't want to sound like I'm all that, but I do get tons of messages & emails everyday and I like to read each one and put thought into my responses, when time allows. This may take awhile, so please be patient with me. I work a regular full time job that I usually put in much overtime at and belong and perform with an old west group and a pyrate group as well as attending many events in between. Depending on my schedule, I may not be able to get back to you, so if it's important send a second email. I *LOVE* reading all my emails & messages, but it's the responses that take a lot of time. Besides keeping this site updated, I also have a MySpace that is a very busy page. I LOVE & appreciate everything you send me! Thank you all SO MUCH! Much love to you and yer crew! XOXOX
