Old Pictures Unearthed
I’m trying to make a video resume that is less than a minute long. Hopefully I will have an end result to show you tomorrow.
In my research, I unearthed old photos of my adventures that have never before been shared online.
This is totally not going on my resume, but for some reason several years ago I was asked to be a part of a fair trade fashion show. In Xieng Kuang, Laos.
It is a bizarre memory. It was hot, I was wearing silk and a lot of make up. I fondly refer to this as “the drag queen picture”. That’s me in the back with the puckered lips.
Even further back in history, I taught English to 130 first graders at a boarding school in China. This was the night of a Christmas performance, so they all had on weird costumes and make-up. I wish I had a video of the bull fighter dance the 2nd graders did. It involved painted-on unibrows.
One day, we decided to climb the wall that enclosed the school and take a hike into town over a huge hill covered in thorn bushes. We just wanted to know what was back there. It was very waste-landish and our English speaking liaison told us not to do that again.
I was really proud of my “North Fake” down coat that I bargained for only $25. I slept in it because our apartment didn’t have heat.
Do you like the quilted vests as part of the winter uniform? It must have been cold inside the classroom too, or I wouldn’t have been wearing that huge man sized sweatshirt.
I wonder what the little darlings are doing today? That was eight years ago.
