Quick Notes:

[cyrano]

1. An oldie but a goodie. Just because you have a camera at a public event does not entitle you to direct us lower forms of guest around because YOU ARE TAKING PICTURES!
I realize that you paid money to be here and want to be able to remember this special moment forever. But I paid money to be here and would like to have a special moment or two for my brain camera to remember forever.

2. The Edwardian Ball and the Edwardian World Fair are a tribute to Edward Gorey, and named for him. If you show up in a rough approximation of Edwardian dress, you will feel like an idiot.

3. I'm very glad I found somebody to go with. Yay for the car full of pretty women in flattering clothing.

4. Lee Press-On does not know me and I should not frighten him by greeting him as if we are old friends, even if I am pleased to see him.

Re: #2, I'm guessing that nobody cared much. Costumes are costumes, and there's not that huge a gap between the two. :)

Nobody approached me and asked me to leave, at least. There were no dirty looks that I noticed. Cute salesgirls still chatted me up.
I think it was the adorable white fedora I found at Target yesterday afternoon.
(Oh oh--speaking of adorable. Somebody had bought a plain white cotton lab coat and drawn on the pencil and ink lines like in a Gorey drawing. The pockets, the belt, the shading lines and all. I hope somebody in our group got a picture.)

I hope so too, because that sounds *fantastic*.
