To truly Understand and Appreciate Wenches and The International Wench’s Guild, you really MUST visit their web site. (I’ve placed a LINK to it later on this page.) It is too, too fun! In the mean time, Below are some excerpts from their site.

What’s A Wench? A Wench is not afraid to stand on her own. A Wench is beautiful, regardless of size, shape or color. A Wench is unafraid to use body, brains and brawn to get what she wants. A Wench doesn't need anyone to tell her how to live, love, look or dress.

To paraphrase Guild Scribe Lars Lunde:

The Wench's Guild is a loose (not necessarily literally) yet powerful confederation of women who share beliefs that some may consider sexist but that we feel are just fine.

Among those beliefs are the ideas that it is every woman's right to choose what she does with her body, with whom she does it and where and when, and that all women, regardless of shape, size, color, age, creed or sexual orientation should be encouraged and permitted to be the person that she wishes to be.

Although our organization started out at the Renaissance Festival in Tuxedo, New York, it has since grown immensely, and our members range from housewives to college students to strippers to businesswomen. As long as you are a strong woman who is not afraid to flaunt brain, body and soul, you too could be a Wench.
In our organization, the word does not have any negative connotations, nor do words such as hussy, trollop, strumpet, jade, tart or Madame. In fact, we have even come up with acronym for Wench:

Women Entitled to Nothing but
Complete Happiness!

The Wench “Ranks”: 1. Wench – Initiate level and a permanent title. 2. Tart – 1 season of experience at Faire. 3. Hussy – 3 years experience at Faire. 4. Jade – 5 years experience at Faire. 5. Madam – At least 7 years experience "under her belt" at Faire.

6. Madame cum Laude – any Wench who has weathered 10 years or more "in service" to her particular calling. It is of this group that the Privy Council is convened. 7. Grande Madame – Chief arbiter of justice and general referee of the Wenching Guild. (The Mother Of All Wenches!) Elected every 3 years by the members of the Guild.

Examples of a “Country-” or “Peasant Wench” and a “Mercenary Wench” (A photo taken at the Kansas City Ren Fest in ’99.)

What Is A WUBBY???

Tightly-lace your bodice. With or without the assistance of steel boning, a push-up bra (and/or a pair of rolled-up SOCKS) your BOSOMS should pooch UP and/or OUT of your bodice or blouse. (Watch it! Family Faire, remember!) Gently grasping either side of your selected Lord/Himbo/Bloke/(etc)’s head, Bring his head down to your bountiful cleavage – But NOT with enough force to impact your breast bone!

From Lars E. Lunde – Hiltsmith & Guild Major Domo of the Lundegaard Armoury, and Official Wenches’ Guild Scribe – about the International Brotherhood of Rogues Scoundrels and Cads (only ONE of his many Guilds):
"In a triumphant testament to testosterone, the IBRSC has been established to provide a union for those blokes who consistently dwell in that gray area between chivalry and misogyny. If your idea of a good time is risking life and limb to defend a maiden's honor (as long as the possibility of profit or nookie is in the bargain), then you're our kind of guy."
