Aaargh!

Ahoy there, mateys! Did you know two of the most infamous "Pirates of the Caribbean" were women? Anne Bonny and Mary Read sailed the Caribbean seas with Captain "Calico" Jack from 1719 to 1720. According to the books, "Pirateology" by Anne Yvonne Gilbert and "Pirates" by John Mathews, Anne Bonny and Mary Read were every bit the swashbuckling, sword-yielding bucaneers of legends past. And they dressed the part! No tight corsets, petticoats or bustled skirts for these ladies. No, they wore canvas trousers, fearnought jackets and sashes to cradle that ever-faithful cutlass! Anne Bonny and Mary Read were practical. They dressed like men but did it with style. They were savvy icons early on.

So would I choose a pirate's life for me? Yo, ho, ho, NO .... let's not even go there!

But would I choose a pirate's style for me? Aye, aye, me ladies! Treasure that thought!
