[Artemisia] Re:We're the Society for Creative Anything

OK, I understand that this list is a forum where  lots of ideas are freely expressed, but as for the  "Newbie-Without-A-Cluebie" becoming Seneschal.... Ow.  That  hurt!   :-)

For my two bits, the Society for Creative Anything works for me in  a lot of ways. As was mentioned before, gentle and polite peer pressure  guides the newcomers' next garb choice. The doodler becomes the Scribe.  The ken-do guy becomes the Squire. The Newbie-Without-A-Cluebie becomes  the Senechale. 

This is the way of the SCA, especially in  Artemisia. The folks that want to nudge folks towards more period  practices, do so. That's how people who learned to dance Korabushka and  Scotland the Brave from Jihan Isfahani know how to do those Snooty  Italian Dances (tm) these days.

Those folks that don't wish to  pursue the more period endeavors in one direction invariably become  folks with quite a period portfolio somewhere. Take Lord Jean-Richard  de Holloway, for example. A photographer by choice, not so into the  garb making and sporting a red suede-look cavalier outfit in 1989 has  surpassed his SCA siblings by carving amazing tributes out of stone and  wood. And, the outfit he sports today is Japanese, right down to the  details.

We all know we have newbie skeletons in our armoirs,  some so far back, they're in Narnia. But even Sir Decker Hawkswood, who  calls himself a bit of a goof-off, has some seriously mad skill sets!  The SCA stands more for hope and freedom to become your finest  creation, to locate the soulmate you've dreamed of, and to not just  find a niche where you are accepted, but to carve that niche for others  to do so as well. Society for Creative Anything? Yeah, I'm good with  that.

I am confused about one thing though: Could someone  explain this thing where you don't camp in evening gowns? Theiron tried  to explain it to me, but I don't understand.
