I grew up watching Flying Circus on PBS. I blame that for most of my deviant behavior (the rest is attributable to my mother singing Tom Lehrer songs to me as lullabyes).
I love the movies - Holy Grail, Meaning of Life, etc., including Brazil and Baron Munchhausen. I married a man who had, in his medieval LARP group, formed a household called Ze Evil French after the scene in Holy Grail.
Every year for Dragoncon, we cosplay MP. Usually we concentrate on Holy Grail characters. We usually have several knights, a Tim, some Zoots, a couple Patsys, and occasionally a bunny. I usually dressed in a corset and wedding veil and wrote 'Huge Tracts of Land' across my ample cleavage. As time has marched on, though, I've switched to non-Holy Grail characters - Me and two others dress as Inquisitors, commanding all to CONFESS!. I carry a sign that says Diabolical Acting on one side, Diabolical Laughter on the other.
