Sorry--I didn't get any pics of the Cabildo, and photos of the exhibit weren't allowed. Again, most of the photos these days are shared on Facebook. I only got pics of one of the reenactment battles and my workshop, and I haven't posted anywhere but Facebook. I guess I could put on FLICKR, but I always forget my Yahoo password!
I can share some links to albums of the reenactment site. Here is a link to someone's album. https://plus.google.com/photos/112956783069519081964/albums/6103735600168710881?authkey=CLfd3fKO3KucNQ And here is another. http://tgdavison-photography.smugmug.com/Re-enactments/1812/Battle-of-New-Orleans-815/i-PJXPCj7 Ann Wass -----Original Message----- From: Debra Brightwell <picma...@bellsouth.net> To: h-costume <h-cost...@indra.com> Sent: Thu, Jan 15, 2015 10:17 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] h-costume Digest, Vol 14, Issue 2 Ann, do you have photos posted somewhere?

New Orleans is costume-oriented anyway with Mardi Gras, so how did others react to the reenactors? I was there in September on a business trip, and some tour guides, promoters, and shop salespeople tend to dress in historic, fantasy or goth styles. -Carol ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 07:44:38 -0700 From: Wicked Frau <wickedf...@gmail.com> To: Historical Costume <h-cost...@indra.com> Cc: h-costume <h-costume@mail.indra.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Anyone here?

I delete my profile back when you still really could - about three years ago- and it's the best decision I ever made. For those on FB still, you might want to read this: http://www.businessinsider.com/10-reasons-to-delete-your-facebook-account-2010-5 There are plenty of other articles by well known publications out there on why no one should have an FB account. As for why this is quite lately, I think part of the problem is that it's winter - a lot of people are just now getting back from vacations and this tends to be a "slow" time for costuming. The summer (with Pennsic and Costume College) and the fall are the busier costuming times. Once spring rolls around and sewing panic sets in, the list will be more active again. -Isabella ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 15:40:43 +0000 From: Kathryn Pinner <pinn...@mccc.edu> To: Historical Costume <h-cost...@indra.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Anyone here?

I new group, the Louisiana Living History Foundation, has been formed to manage a living history park with reenactments. (There is the Chalmette National Battlefield, but for those who don't know, US National Park Service rules prohibit battle reenactments on park ground, so this alternative site has been found and is being developed.) I don't think the word about events got out as well as it could have, though. The last battle was Sunday morning, so we had to tell people who asked that they missed it, but come next year. There was also a period ball Saturday night and a victory dinner at Antoine's Sunday night--both with quite a variety of evening wear, of course. I presented a program for about 40 reenactors on Wednesday on dress in New Orleans, 1807-1820. I also led a work bag craft workshop in the reenactor women's salon on Friday morning and we had a tea in the afternoon. Best public reactions for us--my husband, Jim, has a chintz tailored morning gown and waistcoat which he wore with his gray top hat for our second line parade through the French Quarter Friday night. That got a lot of attention. I also wore a day dress, spencer, and bonnet when I went to the Cabildo to see this exhibit on Sunday. http://www.crt.state.la.us/louisiana-state-museum/exhibits/battle-of-new-orleans/index Two groups of girls asked about my outfit. The exhibit has one room on the battle itself, with Andrew Jackson's uniform coat and two others from the period. The second room is the battle in popular culture, which includes a Western Costume "British" uniform from the 1957 version of "The Buccaneer." It is Technicolor red with gold cuffs, but otherwise bears little resemblance to an actual uniform. The exhibit is up through Jan. 6, 2016.
