Giovanni Does Florence 2011

Description

Back in September, my room-mate ~Nefthys, her lovely parents, and I spent two weeks in Italy. I would have brought all of Giovanni's costume with me but it's surprisingly large to pack with the boot covers, belts, and shoulder guard. Would have LOVED to do a photoshoot in Florence but between the excess baggage charges and the complexities of the make-up, it just wasn't feasible. But I brought his doublet and sash along regardless!

This photo was taken next to the laurel tree in the garden at the Palazzo Medici. Given the obvious age of the tree, it was almost certainly around when Lorenzo was there so I may or may not have rubbed my face on it extensively after this photo was taken.

For deets on the construction of the doublet, take a squint at these blog posts:

In other news, I'm going to SDCC this year with *veshy, ~TheTrueApropos, and our friends Jilleann and Ray! I'll be bringing Giovanni, Marius (with new fancy blackened armour!), and two other smaller costumes that are still in the works. Keep an eye on [link] for more news!

That is SO cool. I didn't even notice the modern shorts until I saw a previous comment. XD
