No pirate's life for me

[clevermanka]

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.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll do braids instead of dreads. Braids are much more my style. Tidier, somehow. But this site does carry the Yaky hair that I use for my fake braids, and it's a teeny bit cheaper than what I can get in town. But whoa! I just checked their turnaround times. 14-30 days for bulk hair? Rats. Sorry I can't help ya by adding to your order. That's way too long. I'd never get them in time.

I'll certainly let you know when we're dancing next!

Bummer on the hair.
