classicrockgirl: Hi Gilly, thoughts on my post: Always loved the time of knights and pirates and long beautiful dresses. Love reading and watching shows on them. Feel like that is where I belong. Maybe that was one of my better past lives? I also love all things mystical, crystals, unicorns, mermaids, etc. I just feel lost in this century.
how interesting classicrockgirl !
those were beautifull times in terms of costumes and chivary !
i love all the medievil films ( knights of the round table king arthur and those kind of films .
i went to visit warwick castle a few years ago and now i'm looking forward to visiting leeds castle and hampton court one day !
do you like watching the british costume drama' s about queen elizabeth against the spanish and the french etc ?
i like the way men use to dress during those days as well to be honest with you !.... i feel like going round wearing a curly wig myself right now !
i love all that silk shirts swashbuckling errol flynn type sword fighting movie.
mind you it was great for people that had money in those days !
a gentleman was a gentleman and a lady was a lady that you had to respect because there was a greater gap between people with money and people without .
i aways remember watching an old english georgian film where a rich upper class well dressed english man on a horse told a scruffy working class man that was being cheeky
" HOLD YOUR TONGUE YOU PEASANT "
even though it was nice been rich during those days i would'nt have liked to have been poor in those days ... because workers had no rights what so ever was basically slaves before the magna cartna.
if you're interested in that time period there are battle reinactment days where men and women dress up like that for the day in england , heritage days in england can be quite interesting .
i'll never forget one of the last things we filmmed for bbc televistion before i left them a few years ago ....the yearly costume ball at the offical home of the duke of wellington to celebrate defeating napeolian !
its is or was then held in was is still know as NO.1 LONDON in park lane on hyde park corner which was given to the duke by the british governmant for defeating napeolian!..the present duke still lives there in the basement and his son has a penthouse on the top floor ...they've made the rest of a museum that tourist can see when they visit london .
anyway it was great watching the way everybody was dress up in the ballroom like they did in those days with the servants calling out peoples names as they entered the room holding a lady's hand at chest height (dress up like a dogs dinner )! i saw one lady deliberately drop her white hanky on the floor so that a gentleman won't say " allow me ma'am " and gracefully pick it up for her !
anyway i better carry on doing a bit more homework !...chat soon ...
hi everybody else !...chat soon !
