Today’s post is going to be a bit different than what you’d usually get from Cheap But Not Easy. First of all, hey! Different font. That’s because TypePad hates me, and will not allow me to change font styles when I type in the main "Post Body" section. I have to import the Times New Roman you’ve been enjoying for the last year.
Second, today is all pictures, all Ren Fest, all the time. Some of you fearless readers and Facebook Frienders wanted to see what we got up to at the MN Renaissance Festival. Well, you asked for it. With no further ado, here the Wench Posse is, in all its glory. Children, shield your eyes.
Here we all are on the last day of the Fest, minus my BFF HaC (Fiery Wench) and Brassy Wench.
Below is my seamstress and BFF, Larue and I, on the day before the big Wench Posse blowout pictured above. Otherwise known as Saturday. Otherwise known as The Day That Never Cleared Up, Even Though Every Weatherperson In The State Swore It Would. Liars.
I love that hat. Let’s take a closer look at its utter fabulocity, shall we?
Back to Sunday, Day of the Wenches, and the picture you REALLY want to see – the infamous Jingle Bra. Well, here it is with this handsome man (ladies, he’s SINGLE).
And here it is again with this handsome man, who is also single, albeit a bit younger. My lovely Baysinger is a mere 23 years of age. But, oh! So CUTE, no?
Alright, on with the other wenches. We can’t let the Jingle Bra have all the fun. Here are the lovely Lusty Wench and Fiery Wench on the coldest, wettest, nastiest day of the Fest two weekends ago. And yet, in true wench fashion, they look adorable.
Then there is Saucy Wench, living up to her name and being gorgeous.
Behold! Our very own Busty Wench. She, too, lives up to her title, no?
We can’t forget about our wee Pirate Wench (Argh!), looking fierce and working the Fest Friends bench like no one’s business.
Of course, I have to give a big shout out to our amazing seamstress and Madam Wench, Larue. She made this costume in one night, including trimming her hat. She has mad skillz, people. Bow before her needle and thread.
Okay, okay, here it is again. One more picture of the Jingle Bra.
And before I leave you, let’s get to the Best Part Of The Fest – Men In Tights!
Le sigh. Here’s another for you.
Oy. One more for the ladies.
He’s our Prince, and what a FINE Prince indeed!
I hope you enjoyed my pictorial of the 2008 MN Renaissance Festival. For more cool pix, check out this site and this site. And until next year, Huzzah!

I blush whilst looking upon these photos. 'Lo see the tights upon such handsome cheekiness? They are magical in their loveliness.
As for the first gentleman who doth wear the black and red LEATHER? I have it on good counsel that he is mighty of sword, fair of countenance, and gentlemanly beyond measure. How he remains single is past the understanding of this world and beyond.

That "Fine Prince"?? — HOW'D Joe Mauer find time to go to the Ren Fest?
Helloooo, handsome, fine gentleman!! Loved the pix, Cheap Chick. Too fun. Thanx!
You and your friends look great. I am so impressed by Larue's skillz, I could only dream of having a friend like her!
The guys are pretty cute, but I'm not a fan of tights on men. Shows too much detail if you catch my drift -kind of like looking at men in speedos. Some things are best left to the imagination. Glad you posted pictures from behind and not the front! lol.
Its nothin but a thang. Heh.
Seriously, it takes fine birds to make fine feathers look lovely, and I am merely a tool to get you there. (Yes, you may now refer to me as a tool.)
And I am seriously shlumpy. I need to learn to pose better. You, however? Not a bad picture to be found, you rotten child, you.
Geez. With all of those heaving breasts and firm buttocks, I need a shower.
The prince does have a nice tush. (so does the king!)
You all look smashing!
I wish I sew like that, but most of my endeavors end up looking like a fifth grade home ec project.
Oh, and love the hat too.
Wow! Nice butts. Dang.
Finally, I get to see what the jingle bra is all about. Interesting. You look fantastic in that outfit! I admire that you have the body to pull it off.
Everyone looks so fabulous. Looks like you had a good time too! Yay!
