I realize that there is a lot of leeway given to SCA dancers, but there really needs to be a line drawn. (Plus, is this girl wearing a bikini top????)

I teach in our local SCA and have a heck of time trying to convince them that Tribal isn't "period" -- but since that's what they see at SCA gatherings, they assume it's accurate. I HAVE, however, gone over the "Gypsy" issue with them, so I think they would know not to do anything like this.

Still, I don't get why dancers go uncovered at SCA events. Especially THIS uncovered. I can't see a bikini top as being "period" to anything other than the late 20th century.
