1. If chocolate vanished from the planet, what substitute would you choose?
Hands down: satay sauce. Yeah. I'd eat it off the floor if I had to. =)
2. What historical personage living or dead would you most like to meet and what would you say to him? (Note my politically incorrect yet grammatically correct pronoun usage.)
Well done! It'd have to be the wearer/maker of the Shinrone gown. I'd ask her why the darts in the bodice and the quills in the skirt and how it came to be in the bog without her still in it.
3. If you had to choose, which is your favorite period to re-enact.
It's fairly obvious that I am not capable of choosing... But at this moment, I'd have to say Golden Age of Piracy/Turn of the Eighteenth Century (1690s-1710s). In this time period, I think even the poor people look elegant, and yet the clothing is comfortable and easy to wear during a variety of activities.
4. What historical fashion style that I do not already do would you kit me out in if you had free rein, an unlimited budget, and no requirement to take my preferences into account.
Ooooo! Good one! Early 1880s -- second bustle period. The time period of the "centaur butt". If you let me deck you out to the nines, corsets and hair and crinolines and everything, I think you would look fabulous!
5. Have you and Bob ever inadvertently convinced some innocent, unwitting party that you were about to come to blows over something?
Oh yeah... When Young Apprentice #2 started coming around, she used to get quite nervouse when we started "fighting"... until Apprentice #1 told her that we were just being entertaining. =)
