I would like to take a moment to extend a special thank you to our clothiers during our reigns. We may not have said it often enough but thank you. Your work may not have earned you the word fame it deserved every single day but you dedicated countless hours in sewing and shopping, and demonstrated the generosity of spirit that we all strive for. You clearly took pride in doing a job well simply for the knowledge of having done a job well whether anyone else ever notice and it humbled me. I love you all even if it's hard for me to say sometimes. Elizabeth.
GIFTS
Her Grace likes to give necklaces for thanks. Also she would like to continue the tradition of giving a thank you bag to Autocrats so any fabric for making bags (better yet bags that are made) or items that can be placed inside (i.e.. cups, period games, trim) would be well received.
Sewing items (material, thread, woven trim, yarn, etc) are a delight. Smiles are always welcome.
Cedric:
FOOD
Likes – Lots of it, obviously. :)
Dislikes – tomatoes, liver, raw green peppers, anything too spicy.
BEVERAGES
Likes – Mountain Dew, Coffee (without caffeine I wouldn’t have a personality) rum and Cokes, Rodrigo's Lemondrops, red wines, drinks likely to induce stupidity in people other than myself, Long Island Ice Teas, most beers, most sports drinks.
Dislikes – any drink without caffeine, (see above), anything that tastes like black licorice, tequilla, any drink named after a body part, bodily function, or bodily fluid.
CLOTHING
Anything my wife is wearing. I have no fashion sense and wouldn’t know linen from lycra, so take your best shot.
I like the colors black and blue, I’ve been those colors since I started fighting so why change now, I prefer the royal blues.
GIFTS
I’m cool with anything given in the spirit of giving. Be aware that if I think a gift is cool enough I’m likely to give it to someone who’s done something cool. I believe in giving out gifts I’d be happy to receive.
I love my kids to death and anything that makes them smile earns big cool points with me.
