Oooh! Oooh! (Waving hand madly in the air)--I'd like to apply to be
the occupant of the Baroness' bedchamber!
OK, I'm not a Baroness, but I'm a Kingdom Herald. Is that good enough?
And my feet usually hurt really badly during the second week, limiting
my ability to dance--but I still really enjoy watching everyone else
having fun, and hanging out and socializing. And maybe I could talk a
few of my Baroness friends into sharing...
As for attendants/dressers--usually, my DH (Dear Husband) is my
dresser, although several ladies of my camp were pressed into service
this year as well. I'd settle for foot-and-back-rub-guys...or
gals...when it comes to sore tootsies, I'm not at all picky. I'll even
provide the washcloth and footrub stuff...
Thanks for the imagery, though. :)
