Just curious

This is something I've noticed a lot in the past but it seems to have gotten worse this year. That is women "displaying" themselves. It has gotten to the point where I found out (and have overheard many times) that some mundanes are refusing to come back until the faire kicks out those that aren't covered up. I realize this tends to be a firey topic (for my faire going friends. Not so much for the H/A ladies and gentlemen) but I also know that no one wants to see any faire close because a few playtrons have in there minds to take their hedonism to a level that interrupts the enjoyment of faire for other people. Let's face it, for most faires, if only the people in garb showed up, they'd close in a weekend. It's the mundanes, that come to see the majesty of it all, that tend to keep these places running.

I've told the people I know who have refused to come back to faire with me because of the inappropriateness of dress to write to the faire and demand that they have people either buy a t-shirt to cover up or go home.

My questions are: have other people noticed an increase in inappropriate dress/behavior this year? And have you had problems with mundanes not wanting to come because of a bad incident (either garb or language related)?

Disclaimer: I don't really like the Faire anyway. To me, its just a big shopping mall that I can't afford. I can't even afford alcohol to make me forget I'm broke!

I have a huge problem going to a place advertising itself as a "Renaissance Faire" and then seeing most of the attendees wearing leather bustiers with bare bellies. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any paintings depicting that kind of garb.

I agree that those clothes cover up more than what you see at a beach, but that's not the point. The point is that I'm at a Renaissance fair, not a Fantasy fair.
