Dickens was a LOT of fun to attend! At first my chariot was a plastic wagon. It was great for photos, but hard to be moved around in when one of the wheels collapsed hours into the event. In the beginning I was outside of Designs by Kate vendor, a friend of Black Thorn Court, but eventually my friends and I were told we were blocking the aisle. I was taken to another vendor hall where there was an empty stall, where one of our Black Thorn Court members (and a vendor with DbK) asked if we could take the open stall. I set up there with my blanket and my pirates, where I took pictures and made merry for several more hours. When I WAS given the wheelchair, I vaulted myself right into it with surprising ease and started to zoom myself around in it shouting with glee; "WEEE, I'm a mobile mermaid now!" Everyone got a kick out of my wheelchair excitement antics; "Never put a mermaid on wheels."
Our photo with Father Christmas and Queen Victoria. I adore how cheerful Father Christmas is!
I was also officially knighted by Queen Victoria into Ladyship! I am now "Lady Koral!" Picture soon.
I met a very charming and helpful pirate, Jack Sparrow's cousin named Jim Swallow. I couldn't thank him enough for all the assistance; goodness knows a mermaid needs it when stuck on land. Looks like Koral has a crush. Shhh.
And I want to thank the Pinoy Accent for feeding a hungry mermaid free shrimp at the cost of a photo! :)
