[Namron] Who am I and where do I come from?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Greetings to all!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It warms my heart to recieve tidings from our Baroness this week in
which she tells me of the abundance of revelry and festivities
this Beltane past. I am sorrowful to have missed it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have, however, attempted to use what little spare time I possess for
research into my personna's character and origination. After much
study, relflection and discovery that Byzantine women's garments were rather
stiff and shapeless, (not to mention EVERY PART OF THE BODY WAS COVERED BUT
FOR THE FACE...Including HANDS for heavens' sake!), I realize that the life
of a Byzantine woman must not be for me. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I am at this time undertaking the quest for information on the
dress and customs of Medieval women of Morovia and Bohemia. I'm
finding little to go on at this juncture and would love someone to point me
in the proper direction...suggested reading, images and patterns,
etc...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm hoping that and eastern European personna might allow me to keep
Samarrah as my name due to the exposure from trade routes to other
cultures. I must admit, I've become fond of my new moniker.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also...would anyone know if there is a "Hair Braiding for Dummies" book
in print and where I could get my clumsey little hands on it? I am
quite inept at braiding hair, mine own especially!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Until Tuesday eve...I bid you all a lovely week's end.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Samarrah</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><BR><BR>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#54466f>FRIENDSHIP PRAYER: <BR>May the
fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who <BR>screws up
your day and may their arms be too short to scratch... AMEN <BR><BR>Samarrah
