Ship's Log: Florida Pirate Festival: 11-16-07

By the blood of Henry Morgan,

I be at water edge in Vinoy Park at thar port of Saint Petersburg, vending at the 5th Annual Florida Pirate Festival. The 3 day event be a bit light in attendance but heavy in performance. They had a wonderful staff of krew members n' a grand fight circle that put on well choreographed melee of up to 30 fighters.
I held one of me model search for the 2009 Hot Pirate Babe calendar. Sink n' scuttle me, if I didn't get a fine selection of wenches to pick from.

Ship's Log: Sarasota Medieval Fair: 11-10-07

Damn me eyes,


This be the third week in me voyage to Florida, which be one of much bad omens. As I tried to attend thar Pirate Week in the Caymen Islands, but they didn't accept me, then I hooked up with the Saint Arrrgustine Pirate Gathering, but they cancelled 3 days before I left fer my voyage. So at last minute I applied to thar Sarasota Medieval Fair n' be accepted.

To my surprise I discovered it be a dry event - no rum or ale. Attendance be low n' sale be even lower, no plunder here. But I did get one beatiful assisant, Nikki, to pass the day by floggin' her n' teachin' her to sword fight, arrrr!

Ship's Log: DEMA: 10-31-07

Happy All Hallow's Day,

Silver me timbers, the Divers Equipment Manufactors Association hired me to dress 200 of thar folk as pirates n' take photo of them fer there DEMA Awards Show caues thar them be Pirates this year. They gave me a booth at thar trade show, where I got a few scuba diver shops to carry the Molly Roger product line.

It seems like them diver like pirates, as they be still searchin' fer our long lost treasure. Thar treasure I found be the many lovely mermaids lounging around the show.

Ship's Log: Fantasy Fest: 10-26-07

Eye Poppin Treasured Chest,

This be me kick off event fer my one month voyage to Florida, where real pirates sailed thar oceans. Fantasy Fest be a 10 day event of debauchery held on Key West, an island that be closer to Cuba than Miami.

I arrive on Thursday n' visited the Pirate Soul Museum n' saw many a real pirate artifacts. I set up me booth at the Fantasy Fest Street Fair on Friday n' sold many a Molly Roger shirts. Then I be a special judge at the Rum Barrel Pirate Bash - Costume Contest, where I be holding a Hot Pirate Babe search.

The highlight of this week long is the body paint of women. Hundreds of women proudly display their uncovered treasure chest in public, what a sight to see for all ye salty sea dogs. Captain Morgan puts on a huge parade of floats. I started out takin' photo from the side, but it boring, so I crashed the parade n' joined one of the many pirate groups in the parade. I didn't have any beads to give out, so I took photos of painted women n' gave them a flogging instead, yarrr!

Ship's Log: Age of Chivalry: 10-12-07

Plentiful Treasures,


In the desert of Las Vegas, I seek fortune at the Age of Chivalry, one massive Renaissance faire of 50,000 folk in one weekend. This be one interesting fantasy faire with The Wild, Vikings, Belly Dancers, Gladiators, Scottish, Fairies, Queen & her court n' Pirates, arrrr!

I be one tired pyrate, doing a Moroccan Party, driving all night to do a 3 day faire which starts 10 in the morning n' last till 10 at night. This be me most profitable 3 day weekend fer my Dress Like a Pirate Photo Booth, but the dust did me in with a horrible cough. As alway I keep a weather eye fer Hot Pirate Babes.

Ship's Log: Moroccan Party: 10-11-07

May treasure rain upon ye,

Spectrum Communication hired me two years ago to create a Dress Like A Pirate Photo Booth, which got me first started in pyrates. Now they had me create a Dress Like A Moroccan Photo Booth for this years CEPTA convention.

Moroccan pirates, who be called Corsairs where famous for attacking Christain Ships on the Medierranean Ocean. So now I be addin' Moroccan Pirates to my pirate photo booth. Here be me old images called thar "Desert Edge".

Ship's Log: Buccaneer Days at 2 Harbors: 10-5-07

Storm Seas Abound,

I brought a load of booty over to the General Store at 2 Harbor fer thar 18th Annual Buccaneer Days. I took the local ferry, the Catalina Express on friday, which be the harshest sea me damn eyes have ever a seen, arrrugh. The tall ship, American Pride had to be rescue on her return vovage from Catalina Island, all sea traffic be cancelled fer the rest of the day. A day trip turned into an entire weekend. Marooned on a desert island with a thousand partyin' pyrates. It be rewardin' seeing scores of wenches wearin' the mark of the Molly Roger.

The British gave me quarter on thar ship, me first time sleeping on the water, a small 20 foot boat with waves lapping all night. It be quite refreshing not havin' to work a photo booth, all I do is drink rum n' look for potential Hot Pirate Babe Models. Life be rough fer a rogue like me, but someone gotta do it. I entered the costume contest, be a finalist fer best pirate n' most original, but lost to a rat n' a parrot.

Ship's Log: Las Vegas Resort Gift Show: 9-27-07

Here's luck n' fair wind to ye,

The Molly Roger being so popular, I have begin wholesalin' thar produce line. So I went to me first merchant show, the Las Vegas Resort Gift Show. Captain Starwise provided me his 10 foot ship's mast to decorate me booth, ain't she a beauty!

I had high hopes fer the show, but it provided slim pickin'. I did sell some of me ware to the General Store at 2 Harbor on Catalina Island, who invited me to thar Buccaneer Day's next week.

Cruised up to me mates Clay at his Ye Olde Studio City Tattoo , where he be celebratin' this day by providing pirate tattoos, music n' fun. Even Cap'n Slappy n' Ol'Chumbucket the original creator of Talk Like A Pirate Day drop by to get thar first tattoo.

After way I made me way down to Enchanted Deva to where many o' pirate soul be gatherin' to watch performance. A beautiful troup of pirate belly dancer provided an eyeful.
