4: Silent Werewolf was pretty much the greatest thing ever. I really hope we get some going this year, too.

5: Regularly, the only dancing I do is Scottish Country Dance, which I've been doing every week I've been in Boston since the very end of November. (I think I only missed two weeks, one for a social engagement I couldn't escape, the other for the show)

Whenever I get the chance, I do assorted vintage (especially Regency) and swing/ballroom. This summer, I'm probably going to begin doing contra regularly (I was introduced to it the day before NEFFA and found it spectacularly easy to pick up), ballroom when I can (I have friends that do bimonthly assorted ballroom) and possibly weekly swing, depending on costs and my ability to get to Bawl'more.

I'm really kindof a whore for dancing of all sorts, it's more or less my favourite thing ever.

6: Arrrrrg, you said princess, didn't you? She's meant to be wearing more of a general sorceress's gown, but it is routinely identified as a princess. At any rate, it's an awesome icon --made for me back in 04 or 05 by the guy who drew my current default.

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?
