SCA: Turkish Bath class at Collegium Caidis

[nisaa]

I'll be teaching my Turkish Bath Class this coming Sunday, April 23rd at Collegium Caidis in the Barony of Dreiburgen (San Bernadino). The class will run from 2-3:50 pm. Come learn about the history of the Turkish bath and medieval beauty treatments for women and try out henna for the skin and hair and sugaring. And be sure to sample some Turkish desserts. More info is available on the website above.

You're teaching that?

Foo! I saw it on the list and *really* wanted to go, but I'm already committed that day elsewhere.

Yes, I also teach it at Pennsic and probably Fall Collegium as well, so I'll let you know when it comes around again.

And it appears you have like the most pre-registrations out of all the classes. You rock! (And so does the class)

Oh? I should have looked at that email you sent me more carefully!

Gah. I won't be able to make it, but I'll be sure to tell Sariah, as she's going to the Collegium.

Oh cool - it will be nice to see her again.

It looks like a wonderful class! I really wish I had the day free.

Questions

1. What is Turkish Bath, and why does it need a class?
2. Which kingdom (SCA)
3. Been to Pennsic?

1. The Turkish Bath is an ancient bath custom that the Turks stole from the Romans. I'd be happy to mail you my class notes if you'd like.

2. Sorry, Caid is in the title of Collegium Caidis, so I figured people would know.

3. I go to Pennsic every year. I teach this class there too, at the Classic Swimming hole. The only men I allow are to participate in my class are Eunuchs-for-a-day.

4. I don't make public posts very often. Who are you?

4. Just a random person who is randomly meandering around the internet looking for interesting people to talk to.

Basically, I looked up some interests in LJ that I have, I think, in your case it was Farscape.

I went to Pennsic in '04 and I hope (although my personal life is rapidly crushing the hope) to get back again this year. The group I camped with is up on the sahara.... which is not nearly as bad as I was led to believe, and no freaking mosquitoes! (I hate mosquitoes because they love me).

Basically, from the few posts I saw, i thought you looked interesting and I though i would say hi and hope for some interesting conversation...


So, "hi"

:-)

And I am interested in the baths, mainly because.... a bath is a bath to me so i am curious what makes one different from another.
