Her Royal Highness, recently held a picture contest for all of her loyal subjects, in which they would submit a picture of themselves in Renaissance costuming from PearsonsRenaissanceShoppe.com. There were several entries, which caused the Queen and her Royal Advisers to engage in a heavy debate to announce who the winners of the competition would be. After much deliberation, Her Majesty is ready to proclaim the winners to all in the kingdom:

Lord Tony Piazza as Captain Morgan, Honorable Mention

Lady Jessica Knutson, Runner Up

Lady Michal Johnson, Runner Up

Lady Penelope Clark, Medieval Wedding, Winner of Royal Prize

Congratulations are in order for the winners and much thanks to all those who participated.

Let the jubilation commence! God Save the Queen!

Hear ye!  Hear ye!  Come one, come all!  Her Royal Majesty has recently decreed that there shall be a picture competition for the entire kingdom.  She requests that every one of her loyal subjects participates in this challenge.  As incentive for participation, the Queen has authorized prizes to be awarded.  Read on for the regulations.

All those subjects who wish to enter the competition are asked to send a picture of themselves to pearsonsrenaissanceshoppe@gmail.com.  This picture must be of you in one of our Renaissance costumes, at a Renaissance or Medieval event.  The Queen loves to see how much fun her subjects have once they have received their brand new Medieval outfits.  When Her subjects are happy; the Queen is happy.

All pictures must be received by November 5^th, in the year of our Lord, 2010.  Once the Queen has reviewed all the entries, she will choose a winner along with two runners up.

Royal Prize:  $30

2 Runners Up:  $20 (Each)

The Queen eagerly awaits to see what kind of pictures you send!

Her Royal Highness, the Queen of Pearson’s Renaissance Shoppe, humbly requests that her loyal subjects join her in a venture that is designed to better the kingdom.

The Queen’s advisers, scribes, and artisans have recently established an outpost where subjects may exchange messages, drawings, and updates on life’s many trials. The scribes have dubbed this outpost: Pearson’s Renaissance Shoppe’s Facebook.

The Queen wants to meet her subjects. She wants to know what type of Medieval outfits her subjects desire most. She is interested to learn what pieces of Renaissance Jewelry are the most favored. The Queen wishes to know how to further direct her seamstresses, cobblers, haberdashers, and jewelers.

Please do not ignore the Queen’s behest.

So it has been declared on this the 30^th day of the 9^th month in the year of our Lord, 2010.

God save the Queen!
