Had such a fun time tossing beads to the crowds in Ybor City at the Knights of Sant' Yago Parade on Saturday!

Saturday was the second parade of my season, the Knights of Sant' Yago Illuminated Knight Parade in Ybor City Tampa, but as I told everyone I could -- Every parade is a #PRIDE parade now! This is from when I first arrived, with one of my Krewe of the Santa Margarita floats behind me.

Had to get my fabulous Pride nails early this year, it just feels like now is the time to be loud. #AcePride #Pride #LGBTQIA+ #NailArt

Here's a quick video from the very beginning of the Gasparilla pirate parade last Saturday in Tampa, I had so much fun. I know I've fallen behind on my posting, I'll hopefully get back to it soon.

"If you see this, post an archer."

(Like my last post, this is also from Brevard 2023, & I even got to level up my DK Ranger's archery skill by hitting a bullseye IRL! 🎯)

Can't wait to play Dice Knights Adventures, the Faire-Wide RPG Experience, again this weekend at Brevard! In this D&D style LARP, my level 25 Elven Ranger is ready to complete quests & take on any threats at the live Patrol & Raid groups each day. Pic with two of our Guildmasters at Brevard 2023.

Trying to post every day is hard, but I knew it would be. Long before I became a pirate, I had a website you can still visit where I shared amazing dragon artwork & my own original writing. The stories and site are all on indefinite hiatus, but you can check out the archive here:

Another of my favorite bands, The Langer's Ball, launched a new KS for their next album! I became a fan of this duo years ago at the Minnesota Ren Fest & I think I had a hand in them adding the Sarasota Medieval Faire to their annual tour schedule after I moved to Florida. ❤️

Gadzooks! You people are wonderful. I wrote you a poem!
“In just about a day
We’re almost halfway
You folks are blowing my mind!
Our new album will fund, I think
If you just click the link
Become a backer - you’re all too kind!”

It’s not Yeates, but…

"Post your favorite #DoctorWho. Wrong answers only."

I loved her as the original femme Doctor, and he was so good as the dopey companion! 😁 Definitely contributed to my queer awakening in the 90s. 🩷💜💙 #hacktheplanet

Here we are with the amazingly talented musicians of Ship Shape at the Sarasota Medieval Faire in November 2024. Fest is mostly about the music for us, running from stage to stage to catch our friends perform. Also, it turns out my partner M is going to be in many of my pics, he says hello!

Very excited to be heading back to the Brevard Renaissance Fair next weekend across the state in Melbourne, Florida. This is from last year at Wickham Park, but they're at a new site this year, can't wait to check it out!

Here's a full-length pic of what I call my "super-rainbow" garb - when I don't want to be even a little bit subtle about my Pride. My flag necklace is in disarray after I briefly joined the lively Maypole dance behind me! This is from the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in March 2024.

Explain your username:

Among many other geeky interests I'm a fan of Doctor Who, so I choose Lady Rose the BadWolf for my pirate name, aka the Pride Pirate of Clearwater. There's a TARDIS pin on my hat among my dragons, Pride flags, & custom rainbow feather plume, shown here from May and Sept 2022.

I'm going to try to post more of my pirate adventures past and present here! This is from the Tall Ships St Pete Festival in April 2023.
