A Word from Sara
July 10th, 2008
As we research our period wardrobes, we are also starting to test several of our newest creations. We were so pleased to have CynAnne accept our latest creation, the Princess or Damsel Hat, as a birthday gift and agree to test it for everyone.
As we researched the Princess or Damsel Hat, we discovered that its origin is somewhat shrouded in mystery, though it appears to be reasonably prominent in artwork beginning in the 15th century, especially among royalty.
There is also an interesting article about this type of hat on wikipedia under the term hennin, which also includes a number of examples of artwork displaying the Damsel Hat.
This is a very popular style of hat in theatrical productions and reenactments and if you would like one in real life, you can find numerous theatrical costume shops who sell them. Some of them are quite beautifully designed, and would honor any princess :-)
Of the numerous examples we reviewed in creating our Princess Hat for the many Princesses in our Kingdom, we liked the painting by Thomas Reynolds Lamont titled “The Prince’s Choice” the best. Our graphic artists fell in love with this painting and it became the inspiration for our Princess Hat.
We imagine that CynAnne and our other princesses would all have been “The Prince’s Choice” with this hat!

I will let Adventure post pics and note from developers. But it goes into how they chose the princess hat. And how they made fireworks and what was the thinking behind the game.
As promised they are starting to give historical references to the items. Very interesting read :) Does what me to google more :)
Adventuredaz:
I posted the fireworks update in the fireworks thread.
littlebelle:
Too funny you quoted my scroll beta testing :) but it works fir this too. Yes but you are good at giving us the pics that go with it :)
littlebelle:
See Add you are a pro at pics :) so it the princess hat will look like VMK with out the ears. Hope it is pink though and not the yellow orange thingy. And what to wear with it rofl.
So what are the las Vegas odds on when we will be able to sit. All I am learning about history and sitting is they all must have had major hemroids since they never sat :)
