Prairie Dress- In August, the Rogue Pirate Nurse Association took their second roadtrip of 2012 to Walnut Grove, MN. The theme of the roadtrip: A tribute to Queens of the Prairie. I reconstructed a vintage cotton gown to wear on our journey. Unfortunately, I only had the chance to wear the dress for a few hours, from Chippewa Falls to Northeast Minneapolis. My little traveling companion, therapy pet, (r)Alyks Wee developed travel sickness during the stop and go of construction delays on Hwy 694 and threw-up on my dress. I borrowed clothes from fellow pirate to complete our westward travel...but it wasn't the same.
