Return to Ren Faire

Cora and I returned to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire on Sunday, which happened to be the fair's closing day after a two-month run. 

This year, Violet didn't feel like going, and Stace was fine with doing something with her, so we made it a mom/daughter fair date.
We shared a giant turkey leg for a tasty and protein-packed lunch.
Eating near us was this man in an amazing homemade outfit. He said he was dressed as an Aztec god. 
Basically, everyone is dressed in some sort of costume, though his was definitely unusual!
We watched a bawdy show put on by the Poxy Boggards, a longstanding Ren Faire favorite. An old Canyon Theatre Guild castmate of my sister's is in the band, so we said hello after the performance.
We also enjoyed some Shakespeare shows, and a routine by a comedian/entertainer who worked with fire. 
Cora wore a new corset we'd bought, because I'd left the corset I'd planned to wear on the couch at home. She was in her element!
 
We stopped for a coffee on our way home and the lighting was gorgeous - so was my girl.

When we first arrived at the fair, a photographer asked to take pics of Cora. We agreed, and he later sent these to me. Wow!!

What the ink on Cora's face? Is that historical? Would love to know the story.

p.s. I loved Ren Fair -- in 1973! Wish I had a pic.
