No! Not that Tiffany. :p
Gimme a sec, and I'll find the relevant bit of I Shall Wear Midnight.

Her age is indefinite, although she could be anywhere from 60 to 90, judging by the cover of I Shall Wear Midnight.

Sacharissa sounds interesting, but she has a bustle and a very defined old-fashioned dress that I could see costing a fortune to reproduce.

I like the sound of old Tiffany, if I can make a bunny pendant cheaply (it won't look like the one in the book, but I don't care - that one was too expensive). How would anyone know I was Esk? She might be tricky. Maybe just a generic witch - pointy hat, wart, dangling bogey, that sort of thing.

Esk would be a sort of scientific wizard - wizard hat and lab coat maybe. :laugh:

What about the witch mum from Boffo's Joke shop? Her name escapes me at the mo, but she's in ISWM. That's warts and long finger nails and stuff!

I'm going to be Ysabell (pre-marital) for Cabbagefest and I've got my wig and dress ready for all that now - a vision in outsize silver grey :laugh: I also have a black dress for the theatre and posh meal and might team that with a corset although it won't be one I fall out of :devil:

For 2012 I'm rather fancying being Nanny Ogg some of the time (I have a bit of penchant for a red boa as well as the shoes... :twisted: ) but I might try Mrs Earwig out too as then I can wear some of my more outrageous jewellery (I have some brilliant Lexi Dick dragon pieces... :laugh: )

You've given me an idea! Rather than a lady of negotiable affection, I could go as Mrs Gogol! Oooh quite fancy the carribean look!

Ooh, Mrs. Gogol would be fantastic fun, Meer!

I was thinking of going as a New Orleans voodoo wise woman-style witch, which sounds similar to Mrs. Gogol though I wasn't even thinking of the character. Or Magrat; I could do the flowers in the hair and fussy occult symbols and rings on all my fingers :laugh: Or as a woman of negotiable affection. I have a plain corset that needs some gussying up anyway.

I'm going to sew everything. It'll be good fun.
