My wife and I are huge Pirates of the Caribbean fans (helps that I asked her to marry me on the atrraction). One of our favorite parts of it is the! portrait of a redheaded pirate lass (by animator/Imagineer Marc Davis) that hangs in the skeleton bar. Since Disney has never released a print of it, I decided to Glowforge up my version of it.
My wife had noticed that the foil bits on her once-a-day contact lens looked like mermaid scales and, thus, mine became a redhead pirate mermaid. It now hangs in our PotC-themed living room.
When my last daughter was still processing (before her birth) her mother and I were trying to come up with names. I wanted to pick a name that sounded all piratey, …like a first name of Captain or a middle name of Hook or something silly. She, being more reasonable about such things, of course said no… so we agreed on Abigail Rylee Robertson…
She didn’t realize what I had done until she made the monogram plaque for the nursery… She’s still a little mad about that one…
