The big problem I have found is that the women's dresses changed dramatically year to year in the late 1870's to mid 1880's...there are some fairly strict dress rules for this CAS stuff--name, dress,weapon (even hairstyle according to some of the groups) HAS to all be appropriate to each other. This would mean that I couldn't wear a high puffed sleeve blouse with a bustled skirt (blouse=1890's-1900, skirt=1873-1880's) etc. I don't know, it is complicated to say the least
H is getting antsy to get this stuff started. At least HE has it easy...men's styles didn't change for didly during the time frame we are looking at
And yes, I have seen Gangs of New York but the City fashions and Western fashions differ quite a bit. I have been using movies like Tombstone, Conagher, Open Range (you have GOT to see this!!!) etc for reference as well as everything I can glean on line
To change the subject...I am still confused quite a bit by H's behaviour lately. He was SO upbeat,happy,snuggly, affectionate and loving up through the new year...now, I don't know I even went so far as to ask him if something had changed lately, here at home or at work, that maybe has caused this shift. He told me that he wasn't aware of a shift of any type, nothing has changed as far as he knows about I hesitantly asked if perhaps he was "feeling" differently and was again told no, everything was fine I am trying to stay away from any full-blown R talk, I just end up getting frustrated anymore during my attempts to draw him into a constructive one. I ask a couple of questions here and there and never very many ... H usually starts laughing at me anymore when I do this. He did that the other night. I asked him something and he laughed...I asked him what was so funny and he said "some of the questions you ask...hahaha".
FRUSTRATING,FRUSTRATING,FRUSTRATING!!
