We made it out yesterday to the St. Louis Renaissance Faire, which takes place in May and June on the edge of the metro area. The conceit is that this is "Petit Lyon" of 1518. The lords, ladies, peasants and knights of 16th Century France walk about with the most outrageous fake French accents, right up in this league. As we left, one of the cast bid me au revoir. Jusqu'à l'année prochaine, I replied. Say what?
The young lady above might have posed for Vermeer. What she's doing with a didgeridoo I haven't the faintest. The man in the second photo could be looking for Velasquez's studio or a disreputable Mexican cantina.
I'm going to run with this all week. Jousting! Sword play! Gratuitous cuteness! Shrek!

Deux beaux portraits, j'aime bien le deuxieme , on sent la joie de vivre
That second shot looks like it could turn into a painting!!! Love Renaissance Faires!!!
It will be a fun week of photos no doubt. Great start. That guy looks like a serious drinker and the young girl also looks dedicated.
Good portraits, Bob!
Two fine portraits, Bob. That didgeridoo sure does look misplaced, but your portrait of her is still first class.
Oh I do enjoy it when you put Monty Python links up Bob, they were classic, so funny. You have a couple of beaut portraits there, and more to come, nice :)
She's mastered the time/space continuum. Hence the didgeridoo she brought back from Oz before returning to the 16th century.
