Day 4

Well, day 4 of August Break... I took my shirt off without taking a photo first. 2 reasons: 1) I was too tired by the time I got home from school to remember 2) It was a yellow polo and an olive green cami... too embarrassing-ly preppy to show the internet.

I wore this shirt combination for our last group performance for my Shakespeare class. I played several different characters in our mini production of Hamlet. As Bernardo I simply popped the collar. As Laertes I added a khaki blazer and I wore it just plain for my part as Polonius. When it came time to play Gertrude I removed the polo and wore just the cami with trashy leopard bra straps peaking out. I added a pearl necklace and a peacock fascinator for my hair. Our costumes were kinda "preppy" (think Clueless).

 

I dream of Faeries

The last few days I've been re-reading my favorite play A Midsummer Night's Dream for Shakespeare Camp (class). This play is my favorite because of the faeries. I love them! I got a faerie tattoo before I even finished high school. You don't get a tattoo unless you absolutely love it, that might give you an idea of how much I love these beautiful creatures.

Back to Shakespeare, I fell asleep reading yesterday and the day before and both times drem't of faeries. Wednesday was awesome. I hung out with Titania in a canopy of lilacs, but yesterday.... I woke up from my dream because Peaseblossom was choking me to death! What the heck! There is no moral to this story except don't do whatever I did to Peaseblossom because it might hurt someone's feelings enough that you might die! Haha but really...

A few of my favorite faerie books are

Good Faeries, Bad Faeries by Brian Froud

Faeries by Brian Froud

I own the last 2, but I have yet to get my hands on the Lady Coddington book. If you ever get to peek into the last one, you might find the faerie that inspired my first tattoo!

Also, check out my faerie treasury on Etsy and the next time you're out for a walk, mind the faerie circles!
