Likely as a recruitment tool for the nascent Caledon navy, a Pirate-clothing craze swept through our lands some weeks ago, culminating in a wonderful ship-board ball, proceeds raised for charity, with some interesting offers volunteered to raise funds. I was able to attend the lively ball a short while, and as it was better documented elsewhere, will only touch on my misadventure..
As the crowd grew on deck, and my movement was jostled, I found myself reeling out of control..
..Ending up falling below-decks, where I continued dancing with a new freedom of space there in the Hold, cheerfully overhearing the conversation above! Miss Kiralette, wondering at my absence, was kind enough to come searching for me..
We ended up Jigging in the captain's room, his bed a springy sort, and comfier than the hard decks to our weary feet..
Another fashion popular is that of the Doll form. I decided to investigate, Kira and Darkling and Qli being avid fans, they had told me of a doll show up-coming. My snaps differ from theirs somewhat, so I wonder if I was at the same show, but here they are:
Lovely garments, well made and fashionable! I really don't see what all the Linden fuss is about.
Finally, a note on Hats.
It has been in vogue to don a new type of hat, that with a live animal worked in...I am happy to say I have joined the vanguard of this trend, as evidenced by the following group shot, where also Lady Kiralette shows off her bunny chapeau, and Lady Darkling a Crustacean creation-
Ah, the sacrifices to fashion! But my next chapeau -it may include a Turkey instead of chicken. Much more ornamental, I would think. If the style catches on, twill be easy to produce them, as we have a plentiful supply here in Kittiwickshire, it seems.

I'm so glad you managed to record some of these fashions for all posterity! I should think as a result of our exploring that all pirate ships should be covered with mattresses to ease the strain of dancing
Blast it, sir, I had been contemplating just that very thing since having a round of bumper-turkey a few nights ago! Well, they will probably fit less precariously on your head than mine.
voila! mon chapeau tres mignon!
Wearing a hat featuring a glassy-eyed beasty does wonders for keeping one's ego in fighting trim. The one I am wearing here is the Salvador Dali Lobster hat (Raw).
For fine hats featuring strange and wonderful creatures...
Chapeau Tres Mignon!

Miss Gloire, you have very entertaining blogs :) I've added you to my list of correspondents and hope to meet you in-world sometime soon. Cheers
*guesses the answer* What is... delicious?
And thank you, sir! I am glad to occasionally succeed!
Yes, please, do remove some of the excess turkey population from Kitti, indeed. It's regrettable in the extreme that our frighteningly possessed birds learned to swim from the shores of the Oregon coast, all the way to Caledon.
Or perhaps they were transported, as I've also heard, but I had hopefully been dismissing that as outright foolishness. Because no one *would* have. Truly.
Whether they've admitted doing so or not.
