Not really, but the words "Renfaire" and "period authenticity" don't really go well together anyway. I consider RenFaire to be "historical fantasy".
(I horrifed the guy manning the elf-ears booth. He was, of course, well in character as an elf, with ears of his own, and calling to passerby to become elves themselves. So I wandered up to the stand and eyed his wares. "Care for some elf-ears, m'lord?" he said. "Maybe," I replied, deadpan. "What flavour are they?" The look on his face was priceless)
The lady with the parasol was, I believe, another faire performer, but not specifically Steve's partner. She just happened to be there when we approached him.
