Cloaks: About VonLancelot

Bio: He’s insane but he reigns King of Costume couture – he’s a time traveling fashion deity of the underworld, an inspiration to historical imaginations, an inseparable force in the fashion underworld. With over 10,000 costumes under his invincible cloak of imagination, VonLancelot has become synonymous with high quality, integrity, and originality in reenactment costume couture.

Youth: Born of an affluent aristocratic medieval Da Vinci linage, VonLancelot was asleep when barbarians from the north killed his mother and father, raped his sister, pillaged his home (a castle) and left VonLL (then just a boy) flogged and stripped of everything he’d ever known to fend for his life in the meadowed Alps of Italy.

Exile:Weeks thereafter VonLancelot stumbled upon the seashores of Genova. On hands and knees VonLL crawled for his salvation with little food, water or clothing along the gray pebbled beaches and through the cold waves that lapped the shorelines and whip his face. After eight weeks of torture from savage demons, sea blistering sores, and the torture of barbarian memories, he came upon a hideout of medieval pirates. He hid in the underbrush by the seashore and when night fell he stowed away in a renegade pirate ship chartered for the Unknown World. Loaded with gold bullion from Spain, slaven feminine from Morocco and magical spices from the orient, VonLL was about to begin a voyage of unfathomable imagination.

Unknown that his destiny for the next many years was to suffer among Wiccan tribes, interbreed with savage pirates, and mixed with mystical magic, VonLL assimilated a culture of dark sub-terrain pagan gods, beautiful heavenly goddesses and fem-warriors of unparalleled valor. Whittling a pair of skillfully carved sandals he personally painted with Flowers of Paradise for the Princess of Light and Love he gained his fame which spread across the Unknown World as a protégée of Royal fashion. He was soon taken into the Court of the high Wiccan Priestess and convened as personal designer for the entirety of pagan Princesses of the Wiccan Kingdome and their Courts.

Climb to Deity: As the story goes VonLancelot became fashion designer to the most beautiful, gorgeous, powerful Princess of them all and of the entire Kingdome, but he still yearned one day to return to the civilized world for the retribution of his family. Upon his swift climb from the savage pirate child to fashion deity VonLancelot grew from a thin, scraggly young boy into a handsome desired man of influence – especially with the women. This was both a good and bad blessing (but, I will go into that later - maybe). Anyway, VonLancelot one day was taken by the Princess of Light and Love deep down into the Caves of Power, Wealth and Wisdom of the Pagan Kingdom’s Underworld – basically where all the power of the Wiccan Kingdome was be known to exist. There he was bestowed the power by the Princess, from the sword of Light and goblet of Love, to travel time and space, and was anointed by her to bring back the most precious, ever unseen fashions and things of beauty for all the Wiccan Princesses
