[MR] Egyptian Personas in the SCA

[Anne]

To be  honest, I just ignore it all now.  I learned my lesson the hard way.
I had a gentle newbee come up to me and ask me what I thought of her garb?
Me being a sewing geek and costumer. I politely gave her a garb lesson on
period fabrics, and sewing..she sat there and listened, asked questions and
two yrs later I ran into her at an event in Trimaris.. in fact the last
event I ever attended in Trimaris.  She hissed at me like a fishwife about
how mean I was to her and I put down her choice of garb.. doncha know the B
was wearing the exact same outfit as the first time I saw her.. it was not,
trust me, a money issue with her.. never agian. I just mind my own business
and hide out in the kitchen.
