TRISTAN

Morning, all! Hephaestus checking in...I have not been here in awhile...sorry!
I found this statue in my perusings...I think I am going to base my costume around this, and add some sort of leather apron/armor to it. I really like that hat!

Well, P Rose, the whole point was that we were going to be a pantheon.

So, yeah, it sorta does have to be Greek.

TRISTAN

I am looking forward to it!
I already bought 3 yards of 90" wide white WHITE cotton that drapes wonderfully...now I need a belt and a draping guide, and I'll be good to go!

Looks like I won't be there, then.

Someone somewhere posted a link to this toga guy who shows you how to drape a toga properly.

You might be winning the award for first one to start their costume, Tristan!

I have ideas in my head and nothing more!

I will have to see if I can find that link...

Oh, and just because I have the cloth does not mean I will be starting any time soon! It may be the night we decide to wear them at D*C that I start throwing things together!

Duct tape, safety pins, and cursing...best part of guerilla costuming!

Well, when I think of all the stuff I want to accomplish between now and D*C, it does make me feel a bit panicky.

P Rose,

I'm sorry if my idea doesn't please you. I tried to think of something that would offer many options for a large group of people, and be fun and easy, too.

I guess you can't win them all.

I have no decision made either. Is there a Goddess of simplicity or something like that? You know I think whichever one has the easiest costume works for me.

Hey Phoenix Rose - could you be a god?? I don't have a 'Hades'... at least I don't think I have one... *goes to check the list again* ... nah can't see one! I could see you abducting fair maidens and making them eat the seeds of a pomegranite...

and Hell hath fire... has it not?

Uh Oh - Tristan - I realised we're half brother and sister...

... oh... hang on! Your parents were full brother and sister, so I guess all the rules are out the window then... and when I defeat Hell's Kitten, I mean 'Aphrodite'...

Hey... we'll be wearing bed sheets

PhoenixRose, I googled "Greek Fire Goddess," and it came back with Hestia.

Hestia Fire Goddess (Greek) or Vesta (Roman)
Vesta is the goddess of the sacred fires of the hearth, the heart of spiritual and emotional stability in your home. Her cult goes back to the 7th century BC.

If this is at all acceptable, we could share the role. Of course you would be the young Hestia, and I would be the older Hestia. If you would rather be the only one, I could look for another. I am open to change.

Hey, yeah? I think that's a great idea! If you're okay with it, I'd be delighted!
I'm not sure how eleborate my costume can be, but I'll work on it.
It's so sweet of you to share, darling VerseExplorer

That's my Kaylee-clone through and through...

Sorry Jadehand - I didn't realise and I thought you were provaricating so I wasn't thinking you had committed to the role if I had seen it!

Oh dear - now I am on your bad side, I bet - I guess next thing I will be innocently minding my own business... picking fragrant flowers and BAM! You'll pop up out of nowhere and snatch me up and take me to your Underworld to tempt me with a pomegranite!!

I woule LOVE to share with you, PR. I haven't thought a lot about the costume yet, but when I do, I'll keep you posted.

Seryn, did you get that? PhoenixRose and I will be sharing the role of Hestia.

Speaking of tempting....... I found some Pomegranate Liquor today, didn't grab it yet, but I'll experiment with it for my new drink, Lethe. Also.... they had a Black Currant Liquor. What? I'm the God of the Underworld. I'm supposed to tempt.

Hey Jadehand - if I drink the pomegranite liquor does it have the same effect as if I eat the seeds of the fruit?

Oh - I am so looking forward to this - I found all sorts of fabrics to work with over the weekend and I have a hairpiece all picked out too!
