Zelda Shagnasty - Pirate Wench

Aye. I dress up like a pirate wench and parade around the streets of New Orleans. Here, in NOLA, that is remarkably unremarkable.

But, being a pirate wench is far more than costuming, In a nutshell, it's about attitude. It is about being unapologetically who you are. The dressing up part serves as a reminder of that and is just plain fun.

When I don my wench wear, I walk a little taller and laugh a little louder. I'm saucier, sassier and shamelessly flirtatious. In short, I'm more me.

The things I like best, though, are the smiles I get from others and interacting with friends and strangers alike in a way that is simultaneously artificial and more authentic than how we usually communicate with one another. While those intangibles may not pay the rent, they certainly feed my soul and that makes the effort worthwhile.

I'll continue to add to this page as my wenching adventures unfold so, do stop by to see what I've been up to and please sign the guest book - better yet, sign the guest book or I'll be 'avin' yer gizzard fer dinner.

Now you can get yer very own rum cup cleverly disguised as a pirate wench coffee mug to let everyone know that yer only enjoyin' coffee. Of course, what ya put in it, is yer business, now ain't it?

Watch for other wenchy things coming to a Zazzle Store near you.
