MDRF Wench Walk is ON!
Danicia de Lontra
I talked to Bethany this afternoon....and this is what we came up with.
Wench Walk will most likely be on Sunday, as there is already a LOT of
things planned for Saturday.
We will probably have lots of messaging and such on Saturday to keep
informed. Usual place, Dragon Inn. Most of you have already met/seen me, so
just tug my kilt if you want to discuss.
We want to make this as easy as possible so we want to keep communcations
off of AFR. We also want to get an accurate count (so we can schedule it and
all) of those who can walk, want to walk....and who has/has not been on one
in the past.
We're looking for a Song Leader (Hey Rach??), preferably a MDRF Wench as we
will be singing "our" version of the songs.
The MDRF Boothies have their own walk, as you know. It appears it will be on
Saturday. Please, do not ask to be on their walk. It is their bit of fun and
distraction...their time to escape work.
Now, on to the Guards. Roland will be here..and it is assumed he will be
leading the Mercs as our Guards. (Hi Roland, guess what!) If you are a merc
who would be a guard, please check in as well.
Soooo...as always...any questions/comments/concerns/complaints...well, email
them to me or to Bethany. You'll prolly get a faster response out of me as I
am still online waaay more than I need to be.

A brief word of caution, then I'll shuddup. I'm a wench, but I don't "walk"
unless there is a special reason for it. But I want to remind everyone of a
couple of things before this goes off:
1) You are representing a guild and should remember your actions will
reflect on people that aren't there/participating. Since there was some
question about whether or not this walk would even be allowed, this is
especially important.
2) It's become customary to ask the intended "victim's" spouse/partner/SO
for permission before anything is done. This is a good custom. Let's not
give anyone any reasons to complain.

Never having observed a wench walk, I have a question... do you also ask the
"intended victim" for permission?
I don't mean to sound snarky here, but a pal of mine in a kilt once had to fend
off an unwanted kilt check. The checker asked his SO at the time, she said it
was okay with her, and before she had a chance to ask the "victim," he was
slapping off the over-eager checker's hand.
Although I can understand that there's a real BIG difference between getting
lots of friendly smooches on the cheek and an overly-friendly kilt check.

targets, unless it is a very special situation. There are a few rules for us
to follow...and the Walk Madame can toss someone for doing said below
behavior.
All in good fun..and remember...Bethany, our Vice-Madame, is leading the
Walk. Roland is the leader of the Walk Guards. With the two of them in
charge, it will be a most wonderous and fun time.

When I lead a walk, it goes something like this:
"Good sir, have ye e'er been wenched before?"
(if yes, I ask where, because we're the only walk in CA, and it's fun
to play off the response(s). If no...)
"Ladies, we have a wenching VIRGIN!" and...
"Well, sir, would ye LIKE to be wenched?"
(If no, then we thank him kindly and move on, unless he was mean or
insulting about it, at which point, we banter a bit. If yes...)
"Well, sir, before we begin, I have to ask, do you have a woman here
that speaks for you, then?"
(This makes it clear that if there's a woman present who would object,
she should come forward, and that it's HER ultimate decision. If
no, we continue. If yes..."
"Good lady, we would like to (insert colorful explanation here) with
your kind permission...?"
(If no, we immediately CEASE and DESIST no matter WHAT the man
says. If yes...)
We proceed. The woman with the target is tagged for the last one to wench him, and then I make a big deal about asking her to show US how it's REALLY done.
This isn't how everyone does it, but by doing it this way, we tend to draw an audience, and some wishful-hopefuls who follow us like puppies. <g> It's also great for photo ops and other infamous sideshows.
Hope this answers some questions out there.

We don't wench performers/employees because at RPFN/S (as with other faires) the
performance schedules are really tight. It's really hard to be wenched and then
be wiping off non-period lipstick on your way to your next performance.
We try to stick to patrons who are dressed for the occasion, and every so often we
*will* go for a mundane if the female with him asks us to do it, or if I get the
vibe that he's really interested in whatever the heck just happened to another guy
30 feet away.
Again, totally up to the discretion of the walk madame at the time. =)

As a Walk Madame and Captain of the Guard (in Texas), I can assure you
that if it isn't, there will be serious consequences for the offending
party! (The first of which will be being pulled off the Walk
instanter... but I honestly can't see it happening- and we have rules
against that sort of thing!) We don't care what you do on your own time,
but we do care what you do on a Walk, wearing your pin.

especially with all that's been said about MD and the walk having been a
sensitive subject..
However, I choose to see the remark made as a harmless wink and grin comment,
not a statement of personal desires.
If the wench 783 meant it seriously, then yes lass, please understand that we,
as a group, want to have a fun, but PG walk. If on the other hand it was just
one of those ineuendo remarks that pop into many heads when thinking in faire
mode, then to Morgana and Ivy .. lighten up a bit.
Since the remark was made without any indication of mood, I understand the
straight forward and serious responses.
Have to add though, I thought the same thing when I read it. My thought was in
the lighthearted, mind in the gutter, respond with the wink and smile vein.
Personally I target foreheads.Oops.. that set off a whole other set of thoughts

And I figured as much, *but* not everyone knows that wench does not
equal harlot, and that Wench Walks aren't composed of random groping.
IWG members do, much of AFR does, but just in case there is that person
out there who might get the *wrong* idea, I made it clear.

I'm sorry you feel I need to lighten up, but I take my responsibilities
as a IWG Walk Leader, and as Captain of the Guard (when not leading, and
when I am, I still coordinate and delegate) here in Texas seriously. I
realize that you may not have had to deal with people who get the wrong
idea about inappropriate behavior on Wench Walks, but we have. I didn't
earn my AG number by slacking off on my duties, and my GuildMistress has
full confidence in my abilities to guard Walks. I intend to maintain
that confidence, as a matter of personal honor.

Humor is good, and humor is fun. But I do take issues of IWG
representation seriously. Winks and smileys in the original quip would
have negated the serious response, but my response was not so much for
those who already know, as those who do not.
Here's to a fun and successful Wench Walk at MD- and as I always tell
our Walking Wenches... have fun, "so long as you don't look silly or
desperate doing it." I think that sums it up nicely. :-) (And it is part
of our Wenches Creed).

joke- 1. a. something said or done to provoke laughter
b. the humorous or ridiculous element in something
2. something not to be taken seriously
I've been going to faire for sixteen years and if some of the things that you
all even hint at happening have actually happened then I really must have my
head buried in the sand because I've never seen any of this!
What faire are these things going on at- and how do I get there and when do
they run? <JOKE! HA! HA! HA!
(Was that a clear enough indication of humor?)
I don't know about you all but I have some serious reservations about kissing

Since you apparently didn't notice that I *did* understand that what you
said was in jest, i'll quote the relevant portion again:
