No pirate's life for me
I finally got to see Pirates of the Caribbean over the weekend. I loved the movie. I mean, what's not to like? Johnny Depp looking as fine as he ever has in his life, and Orlando Bloom only looks bad with that stupid mohawk.
I think my next tribal dance costume addition is going to be a headscarf and fake braids thing modeled from Captain Jack's. Guess I better get to work on that for the next date at Aladdin's.
Now of course since it was a movie, everything was polished and prettied up and I didn't expect a true depiction of what sailor or pirate's life really was. Did some poking around yesterday and found a very informative website: BlindKat's Pirates Page.
Lots of descriptions of living conditions, history of pirates, punishments, weaponry, etc. No, no pirate's life for me, thanks. Unless it's the Disney version and I get to be the one stuck on the island with, well, either of our two fine heros. I'm not picky.
