Last weekend I attended the Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco. on . As per usual, I was having too much fun to take any pictures (though my mother managed to snap a few) On saturday I played a member of the notorious (and fictional) submarine Hatefish.
This was originally going to be my entry for the alternate universe challenge, but with the amount of work that went into it, I'm glad I spread it over two.
I suppose you could put the Garibaldi shirt and the zouave jacket in challenge 22's category (gentlemen's and gentlemen's inspired) and the skirt in challenge 23's (modern history)
