Cleopatra @ MindSay 
Just one question for Cleo... Where is Anthony????
I'm a little worn out from yesterday's Ren Fest activities to write a real post, but we had a great time. Even though it wasn't the big Mindsay meet up we wanted to have, it was still nice to see Callmeroger and his lady love Uyoku. It was her birthday yesterday and Roger bought her a huge margarita to celebrate it -- he also bought her other things. It's cute to see him spoil her! :P
Anyway, I'm just going to post a few pics of our costumes and some glamour shots. I'll post more later, probably in movie form because I took a lot of pictures!
Me as the queen of the Nile! This is actually an old costume that I altered. Torridgirl made my cape and she did a fantastic job. I got a LOT of attention yesterday, a few actors at the Ren Fest actually bowed to me! I think the cape made all the difference. After all, who can resist gold lamé? When she finished the cape and belt there was about 2 1/2 yards of fabric left. I let her have it because I know she'd be able to make something awesome with it.
Other alterations that were made were, a key hole to expose more cleavage, a wider, gold lamé belt and a head dress. Here is a picture of what the costume looked like before the alterations:
Toga! Toga! I loved the togas Environgirl and Torridgirl wore! In my humble opinion, they had the best togas there. They were asked to enter the toga contest, but they didn't. I think we didn't get to the destination in time.
I caught Egirl doing this expression because she was posing for another person's camera. I told her, "don't move!" and got the perfect shot.
Torridgirl saw this setting and thought it would be perfect for a glamour shot in my costume. It looks very Egyptian I must say. This is supposed to be my come hither look. I don't think it really says "come hither" as much as it says "are you done yet?" I guess I'll have to work on it.
Torridgirl was just sitting on this bench waiting for my head to stop spinning. I was a bit light headed because the day before I think I had a mild case of food poisoning. I may have had some bad fried rice. Anyway, I saw her sitting there and the lighting was perfect. I told her to smile and I snapped this picture. She looks so good in red!
I'll post more later!

I was able to put the graphics on the blog by making a PRINT SCREEN of the page and then pasting it in a graphics program.
1) hold down the ctrl key and the prt scr key. (the screen may blink once)
2) Open up a graphics program, either MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop, etc.
3) PASTE the image on a NEW document.
4) Edit it to your liking and SAVE it to your computer.
*5) You can put the image in Photobucket or whatever site you put images that you post on your blog.
today is a new day for me, because i get to go to yearbook class and not have to worry about anything!! finally the yearbook is over, but unfortunately for me i'm not buying it. i don't have the money or the time period for it. but this morning lil brother someone stole my 50 cents from my coat pocket. i am not in a good mood cause it is raining and i don't like being in school when it rains, i get really sleepy. i skipped biology again for the 4th time i could care less, i would drop it if i wanted to, but i won't care. i think that i am falling in love with someone, but i never really talk to her because i really don't see her often.
black girl,
black girl
with beauty like yours
it’s no wonder
you’re the queen of
every black man’s world
with high cheek bones
and a curvy shape
different skin complexion
different height, different weight
beauty is only skin deep,
but you personify beauty
in more ways than one
your attitude, your grace
descending from the great African queens
Sheba, Nefertari, and Cleopatra
rule on your pedestal
my African queen
to be finished when i get in the mood
