Klingon at a renaissance fest?

Question

I'm a six foot tall female, how would I be recieved at a renaissance festival dressed up as a klingon? Any better ideas?

Answer 1

I'd say you could dress Klingon as long as you wore period clothing. What did Klingons wear in the 1400's?

Answer 2

What about as Rapunzel? You could wear some really long hair with your height. That fairy tale is kind of renaissance era isn't it? I don't think the Klingon thing would go over unless you're going to a Star Trek convention.

Answer 3

I've seen Klingons at Faire before... they're less common than fairies, barbarians, or pirates, but about as common as the odd Roman soldier or Samurai.

If you'd like to go for something slightly closer to period, you could probably mix-and-match the Klingon armor into a barbarian warrior princess look.

(Note: The actual Xena outfit can only be successfully worn by certain body types. It looks absolutely frightening on others... just as some people really, really, really shouldn't wear belly-dance outfits.)

Answer 4

LOL

Happens every year at the Renaissance Festival in Colorado.
Of course here it could just be a lack of oxygen, but I don't see the problem at a lower altitude. ; )

Answer 5

Funny and sort of both inappropriate because it's not science fiction and it's appropriate because of the hand held weapons they use and the battle gear they wear.
