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.  :)
