  • Duchess Squad Spooky Basket Exchange – Part One

    Sunday was the first annual Meeting of the Duchess Society Spooky Basket Exchange and Luncheon. We met at my friend Susan’s house in our finest Duchess regalia. I had retooled my blonde wig from Saturday into a more Duchess like form. The Lady Penelope Perspicacia Pamplemousse of LaCroix was in her spooky best when she arrived for the party.

    After we dined, but before the exchange we had a mini photo shoot in the side yard. We formed a “band” called The Strumpettes. We had too much fun with Snapchat filters. We laughed a lot. Here are some of the fruits of our labor.

    The Wayward Duchess, The Cuntess (She named herself I promise), Lady Honoria (Rhymes with Gonorrhea) Teapot and myself had such a lovely time. I will get pictures of my amazing basket to share soon.

  • Medieval Monster Mash at the Forge

    Medieval Monster Mash at the Forge

    Saturday night I went with my Sister, Traci, and our friends Susan and Liz to The Forge Tavern for their Medieval Monster Mash starring Jameson’s Folly and special guests Fiendish. The Forge had a wonderful set up that allowed for safe play in times of Covid. Out table’s theme was witches, so we decided to dress as the witches of American Horror Story: Coven. I was Fiona Goode, Traci was Zoe Benson, Susan was Nan and Liz was Misty Day. Liz was in the running for Best Costume, but got an honorable mention instead. Our table got an award for having a great theme. Which was awesome, but wasn’t why we were there.

    Jameson’s Folly was on fire, and they were dressed as Joe Exotic (Chance), That Bitch Carole Baskin (Jennifer) and a Tiger (Johnna). Chance even managed an Irish step dance in cowboy boots. Then Fiendish took to the stage which was made up of our favorite three whiskey witches from the Renaissance Festival. They were also amazing and I am excited to hear more from them in the future.

    My sister and I shared a Rum flight, which lead to us finding one we are absolutely going to have to purchase, the waitress also said there is a Mermaid on the bottle which makes it even better.
