5. Yay, dancing! You should come down and dance with us (ie, eas) for our Assembly in the fall. (I'm taking a month-or-so break from dancing so I don't damage my knee further. Sadness. )

4. Oh, god yes. We totally should. As much as I avoid doing too much werewolf at cons (to avoid wereing me out; spelling intentional), I'd totally stay up for Silent Werewolf.

6. Yeah, afraid so. I mean, "princess" and "sorceress" dresses aren't actually that dissimilar, and combined with the tricorn hat, this one definately reads as "princess".

Hmm. Google Image Search for princess reveals off-the-shoulders dresses (in the disney mold). Whereas doing the same for sorceress reveals...a lot, actually...particularly considering the Valejo pic with the g-stringed...whatever she is (if I guess correctly about which Conan story that's from, princess, actually) and the sorceress in just a g-string and skirt, but the two images of note are the This fairly witchy Lisa Hunt painting and This Jeremy McHugh painting for the next edition of the Talisman board game. The second is more iconic, showing the essential difference in popular media between a "princess" dress and an otherwise identical "sorceress" dress -- that being, of course, that the "sorceress" dress has a v-neck, not a straight one, ideally one going down past or near the navel.

OTOH, I suspect the "sorceress/pirate" nature of the above image would be more obvious if she had a smaller wand; on first glance, it looked more like a second sword. Maybe something like this?
