Highly recommend "A Discovery of Witches", a three season TV series, about an Oxford Professor, who also happens to be a witch. It's also got vampires and demons. Seasons 1 and 3 are in current times, but season 2 is set in the 16th century. Based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.

the windows!! love it

‘Gothic’ is another great rendition of the Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein theme with an all-star cast. Saltburn checks all the boxes but it genuinely disgusted me. I mean beyond the limit of being able to enjoy the plot or the great acting.

Yayyyy

Hey Lanchen! I sent you an email offering you some free stuff, just let me know if you want it 🏰🎟🎟🎆

Missed the premiere :( But definitely a hundred 'thank yous' for the recommendations!

"The Theory of Everything" is a really good DA film about the life of Stephen Hawking. The setting takes place in the 1960's at Cambridge University.

Saltburn made me so uncomfortable I couldn't finish it.

"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) is on my list too.

And a musical comment from me. Most DA playlists are AI generated quiet studious music. Not this one. Most of the artists here have done other things that fit the DA theme well; I've tried to pick the better tracks. Here's a DA Top Ten - 10 - Places of Light - Brainticket 9 - Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues 8 - Starless - King Crimson 7 - Eye in the Sky - Alan Parsons 6 - Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield 5 - Sleeping Sun - Nightwish 4 - The Musical Box - Genesis 3 - Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush 2 - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen 1 - Vienna - Ultravox

Artemis 81 was an obscure, and very difficult, Anglo-Danish production with a very famous performer in a small role. This is a supernatural movie with a grad student protagonist, and the main antagonist is a musician; depression and suicide are important elements. The music of Danish composer Carl Nielsen is central to the plot - "A double flat is a natural". He is the ultimate DA composer - really difficult and heavy, with themes of life and death (start with Symphony #5). The movie is available on KZfaq, but not the greatest quality.

Saltburn is head and shoulders above the rest!

I like your DA reviews and your bangs

Ours here in maryland is amazing and we usually wait to go until October when it’s more cool. Going when it’s blazing hot at the very end of summer sucks

How perfect has this turned out my goodness!!! You're a genius ❤

It’s like a princess style

I want to go and love this fair but I cannot support a festival that offers elephant rides. 😢

A vintage milk glass schoolhouse pendant in a Deco shape would look phenomenal in there. I'd paint the piece on the opposite wall (the candleholder) gold. I actually liked the gold velvet curtain. You said it looked too circus-y but I always associate the 20s.and 30s with circuses (think "Water For Elephants" aesthetic.)

The thing is, yes it's crazy packed in october, but that is when everyone there is dressed up in costume and it turns into like a real life Halloweentown, they do live reenactments of the trials, and street performances, it really is cool but the rest of the year its just a historical town

Loves it! 🤍 I’m actually looking into turning my backyard French style. Can’t wait!

Where are your elf ears from? I love those so much

I love those elf ears! Where did you get those at? They have to be the most realistic I've seen! Looks like a great time there as well!

I’m upping the witchy vibe in our home today, great ideas

Not sure I’d go with some dude who doesn’t dress up.

So much fun... !!! The items I woukd add would be little aprons - or baker aprons, fake or real Le Cruset wrought iron pots maybe in cream or red or bkue and ... perfume bottles...if you could do a video on Beach ... Nautical seaside Nantucket / New England kind of Gossip Girl Summer / Revenge with saikboat - Raloh Lauren vibes I woukd personally be over the moon... Thank you!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉YOU Rock!!!

The Emperor's Club is definitely DA.

You say you prefer the history, yet you're dressed the way you're dressed. Very contradictory. Also, most RenFaires do not allow patrons to hand out anything and security will escort you out. I like that you tell people to ask questions! But to join a wedding?! Make sure it's pretend because many RenFaires only have REAL weddings taking place! I truly appreciate you did tell everyone to wear natural fiber!! Many faires will not allow weapons, even peace tied. Check ahead. You need to come to the Bristol Renfaire.

Change your major in college from Political Science to anything else, e.g., English or Sociology. One of my few good decisions. btw, the best classical music piece ever composed is "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov.

LOL...if I lived in L.A. (which I did for six, shitty months in '81), I would go anywhere to escape if only for a few days of solace and general fun.

What books did you buy? I would be interested to know what you read, e.g., the library behind you in your videos?

My first visit was the year the feest hall opened. Its a awesome site and i saw all the shows .

10:46 / 15:58 you were talking and an old woman in the back was staring at you

The largest Renfair in the world? So you were camping at the MICHIGAN Renfair then?

Great info. Not sure if I prefer Elf Lanchen, Viking Lanchen, or Pirate Lanchen. Meh I like em all! Thanks

that's wack, Jack.

8:51 that's me twirling my little heart out in the background!! Thanks for coming to our little village. Hopefully we might see you again if you decide the trek is worth it!

I went to my first ren faire in April, it was great! I made our costumes the week before, all hand sewn, and I don’t even actually know how to sew I was almost entirely winging it. It worked out great though! And fortunately our friends were running a booth so we sat with them the entire time. We missed some events but it was overwhelming so just sitting with friends and chatting with new people and being able to browse some booths was fun enough for my first time

That is amazing decor ideas I can't incorporate in my house 🥰

Thank you very much for you inspiration decor style ideas, I love🥰

You are so awesome. I went to my first ren fair with a friend from work like 20 years ago near charlotte, NC and got hooked instantly. Then continued going multiple times a year first with my wife ( wasn't her thing ) then with best friends, then with my 5yo son, then with son & younger daughter after my divorce, just completely falling in love with the whole experience. I kept going every year for like 15 years straight all to the same one in Concorde, NC which I would say was pretty big and too much to properly take in in one day bc of all the amazing shows and the jousting would be 3 times daily but all different shows progressing in intensity to the final joust to the death so you kinda had to go to all 3 jousts to get the best experience. anywho, I've been living in another country for the past 5 years with my son and daughter and mother where the ren fair does not exist. Just saw you for the first time ever a few weeks ago and fell in love with your ren fair vids and looked up all of them and made them favs so I can see them all in chronologic order. You have an amazingly authentic and believable feminine elven look which adds so much to your ren fair vids. Don't know how or why the first video of you popped up but I'm so happy it did bc you are the next best thing to actually going to the renaissance festival. I miss going so very much. Sorry for the long comment but I'm just so excited. Thank you so much, please make more !!!!!!!

I started going to the Ren Faire in 1978 with my mom. The last Faire I went to was in 2014. For me, it went too far acceptable to wear non period or even correct era fantasy outfits, ie LOTR's style. That's me being nostalgic for the OG Agura Hills Faire. I never minded those who were not dressed but I saw Star Wars characters for Peetes sake.. and I love SW but come on.. I do agree that for the most part, everyone is really great to hang with. Just nice people having fun. Btw, you look great with your character.

For future reference those long billowy products as long as their made of a natural fiber are actually much more cooling then for instance a short sleeve shirt. They keep the sun off your skin which lowers your temperature and wick sweat. I know it seems counterproductive that long sleeves and pants on a hot day would be cool, but it really is cooler so long as it’s a natural fiber.

I feel like you would've loved Koroneburg Renaissance Faire in corona if you haven't already been there. It's mainly historical reenactments with a good amount of shows and shops

well I learned something, I did not know that this even began in CA. Now I know. I've gone to the one in my state (MA) a few times and while I'm big into these, have played D&D since the Red Book, I've never dressed up and never had an issue. I think you can go alone though, I do, I also go on vacation by myself. I am a huge introvert and I still enjoy myself. Every so often I can include myself into things. So to those fellow introverts I say still go, enjoy yourself, it can still be fun. Have you ever been to King Richard's here in MA? I was surprised at just how large it is.

Nah, nah - you aren't taking it literally, you are taking it "literary" - I'll show myself out...

I get the feeling this has become a cult...Renaissance afficianados galore...a half million? Sounds like a cult/tribe/trend.

Ah yes, the sixteenth century in Merry Old England...when knights were bold. What is the attraction of anti-modern settings? We all long for something better. Personally, I am of English decent and when asked the eternal question, "if you were in a time machine, would you go into the past or the future." For me, sixteenth century England would be something to experience.
