[Steppes] Costume links was Re: 12th night theme

[alkudsi at aol.com]

But not necessarily living peacefully together...there were some rough times in there, leading up to Salah al-Din's ousting of the Christians from the Holy Lands by 1197 (I think).  My persona peiod, actually.  
 
I also have a pretty good collection of costume books, especially for ME garb, should anyone be interested.  Master Da'ud is not the ONLY ME persona besides Mahdi in the Barony!  I also have a good collection of books on the cultures from that time period, since my 12th Night, 10? years ago, had the theme of Convivencia (the period of time in southern Spain where also the three religions lived in harmony, off and on.
 
First Crusade would put it in the time frame of late 11th century to mid/late 12th century.  You would have seen Europeans in European dress (modified some for the climate which is warmer), Middle Eastern (from Tureg -- the tribes that wore mostly dark cobalt blue/black and where the men went veiled but not the women -- to late Parthian/Steppes dwellers (who traded in horses on the Black Sea and occasionally got to Jeruselem) -- to Byzantine), African tribal from along the Nile, some early Indian traders, and rarely an Oriental trader. Much past the 13th century costuming would be pushing the time frame, if you want to stick to it.

If these are not enough let me know, I can do some research but Master Da'ud 
is an excellent local source for books and more! :)

I was told it is in Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Where all races and 
religions were living together, wearing all different kinds of clothes. Just 
what I was told. I would be interested in your web links. Thanks.  Don't 
know about a web site.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving 
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in 
sideways, chocolate in one hand, white russian in the other, body thoroughly 
used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
