September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and many of you may not be feeling too piratey yet. No worries! Here are 5 piratical things to help get you in the mood.

1. Pirate Attire

Some of you might want to wear your best Captain hat, while others want to go “modern day pirate” by adding just a wee bit of pirate flair. From belt buckles to pirate inspired swimwear, you can find lots of options at piratemerch.com

2. Pirate Ringtones

Nothing says I’ve changed me life for the day like a new ringtone. Check out these pirate ringtones for your cell, or midi files for your computer by clicking here.

3. Pirate Music

If you’re looking for pirate music, no need to look further than The Pirates Charles. They call themselves pirate rock specialists and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen these minstrels live and in person, they really rocked the ship with their pirate presence. Here’s a fan video of The Pirates Charles. If this doesn’t make you kick up yer heels and raise your whiskey high, then you haven’t an ounce of pirate soul.

4. Pirate Drinks

Pirates love to have a bottle in hand while they Arrr and Aye-Five their other mates.

From the popular Captain Morgan  fans to the “grog” enthusiasts out there looking for a micro style rum, check out this pirate favorite aptly titled Pirate’s Choice Rum.

For those of you that drink, please drink responsibly. Don’t drink, and board your ship unless a designated driver is behind the helm.

5. Pirate Lingo Lessons

Of course you need some pirate lessons so you can Talk Like a Pirate without being thrown overboard. Take a lesson or two from Cap’n Slappy and Ol Chumbucket, the creators of this international event by going to talklikeapirate.com .

In true Hollywood style we’ll end with these two mates, singing their own pirate tune Savvy! Savvy?

I’ll be talking like a pirate, Friday at Studio City Tatoo in Studio City, CA.  Errol Flynn’s daughter Rory will be selling and signing her new book from 6:00 PM to 9:00PM. You can get $40.00 “real” pirate tattoos from noon to 10:00PM. There will be raffles, sword fighting, fire eating, and piratical music. If you’re not near the Studio City area, no worries, there will be Talk Like a Pirate Day celebrations all over the world.

Check out this directory for the one closest to you. 

Now if only I could stop putting ”like’s, and oh me god’s” in between ”arr’s and aye’s”.  Oh well, it’s piratitude Housewife in Hollywood style!

I usually get to bed by 10:00 and a couple of the bands I wanted to see didn’t get on stage till 11:00. This housewife is dragging a bit today but it was well worth the lack of sleep.

The evening was full of authentic looking pirates, tribal dancers, unique pirate rock music, and even some retro swing tunes thrown into the mix. Stay tuned for more about the two great bands I danced the night away with. Now I need to get back to dusting and cleaning the kitchen. Well, maybe after a little afternoon nap.
