Bio: He’s insane but he reigns King of Costume
couture – he’s a time traveling fashion deity of the underworld, an
inspiration
to historical imaginations, an inseparable force in the fashion
underworld. With
over 10,000 costumes under his invincible cloak of imagination,
VonLancelot has
become synonymous with high quality, integrity, and originality in
reenactment
costume couture.
Youth: Born of an affluent aristocratic
medieval Da Vinci linage, VonLancelot was asleep when barbarians from
the north
killed his mother and father, raped his sister, pillaged his home (a
castle)
and left Von (then just a boy) flogged and stripped of everything he’d
ever
known to fend for his life in the meadowed Alps of Italy.
Exile: Weeks thereafter VonLancelot stumbled
upon the seashores of Genova. On hands and knees Von crawled for his
salvation
with little food, water or clothing along the gray pebbled beaches and
through
the cold waves that lapped the shorelines and whip his face. After
eight weeks
of torture from savage demons, sea blistering sores, and the torture of
barbarian
memories, he came upon a hideout of medieval pirates. He hid in the
underbrush
by the seashore and when night fell he stowed away in a renegade pirate
ship
chartered for the Unknown World. Loaded with gold bullion from Spain,
slaven feminine
from Morocco and magical spices from the orient, Von was about to
begin a
voyage of unfathomable imagination.
Unknown that
his destiny for the next many years was to suffer among Wiccan tribes,
interbreed with savage pirates, and mixed with mystical magic, Von
assimilated a culture of dark sub-terrain pagan gods, beautiful
heavenly goddesses
and fem-warriors of unparalleled valor. Whittling a pair of skillfully
carved sandals
he personally painted with Flowers of Paradise for the Princess of
Light and
Love he gained his fame which spread across the Unknown World as a
protégée of Royal
fashion. He was soon taken into the Court of the high Wiccan Priestess
and
convened as personal designer for the entirety of pagan Princesses of
the Wiccan
Kingdom and their Courts.
Climb to Deity: As the story goes VonLancelot
became fashion
designer to the most beautiful, gorgeous, powerful Princess of them all
and of
the entire Kingdom, but he still yearned one day to return to the
civilized
world for the retribution of his family. Upon his swift climb from the
savage pirate
child to fashion deity VonLancelot grew from a thin, scraggly young boy
into a handsome
desired man of influence – especially with the women. This was both a
good and
bad blessing (but, I will go into that later - maybe). Anyway,
VonLancelot one
day was taken by the Princess of Light and Love deep down into the
Caves of
Power, Wealth and Wisdom of the Pagan Kingdom’s Underworld – basically
where
all the power of the Wiccan Kingdom was be known to exist. There he
was
bestowed the power by the Princess, from the sword of Light and goblet
of Love,
to travel time and space, and was anointed by her to bring back the
most
precious, ever unseen fashions and things of beauty for all the Wiccan
Princesses
of the Kingdom. But, he was given one warning from her Royalty. He
shall not be
permitted to travel beyond the Kingdom’s boundaries or he would be
stuck
forever gone! To where she could not tell him, but she guaranteed him
that
there was no power in Heaven or Earth that could ever bring him back.
Time For Reflection: As the story goes
VonLancelot became over
those years the most sought after man in the Kingdom, not only for his
daunting awe inspiring fashion talent by women of power, but for his
highly
desired chest of ripples and curling locks of long blond hair. Now not
only was
he deity of fashion but he was the most desirable bachelor in the
Kingdom. In
private Von possessed so much power that even the Princess of Light
and Love
would bow to his private commands knowing that her continued beauty and
powers were
the art and at the grace of VonLancelot. But, Von still had one
desire
himself – to return home.
A Life Altering Decision: And, well my friends
of love story
fantasy, medieval warriors, and renaissance Lords, so on, and so on...
After,
spending years traveling time, Von got a little bored and took a true
leap of
faith (or, stupidity as some might say) that the Princess would possess
the
powers for his return to the Kingdom should he go beyond its
boundaries. And,
because he thought to himself that he not waste this grand opportunity,
he
traveled past the boundaries of the Kingdom, and traveled, and
traveled, and
traveled in time, in distance and in history far beyond the outer
limits of the
Unknown World. There were no boundaries, there were no walls, and there
was nothing
that stopped him from seeing the world, in every time, in every place,
in its
entire splendor, in its entire pain.
Today: So, as all love stories go (this one
as well) VonLancelot left a life of Royalty, a Princess that loved him,
a Kingdom whom worshiped his designs – he left it all to follow his
heart of adventure.
Today VonLancelot resides in all of us. His life, his dreams, his sense
of
freedom from any time and from any place – he is you. And, should you
be so
lucky to win his presence in your life, one of his fashions, know that
his spirit
resides with you forever and will travel with you to every corner of
the known
world, in your desire to be the person of your dreams.
Today is yesterday and yesterday is
today.
I,
VonLancelot, bestow to you the true possibility to “encontrará
la” (to find)
your dreams.
To all my fans,
VonLancelot
