Another dress up party! This one: “Dress Like An American” for the 4th of July.
Not quite sure why I had such a hard time deciding what to be… since as my friends from home reminded me, I didn’t necessarily need to buy a costume! After searching high and low for a brown wig, glasses and a good campaign wardrobe, I decided to leave the impersonations to Tina
Fey and work with what I had…which was a Texas state flag running bra…(!?) My 7 year old British neighbor loaned me a cowboy hat and pom poms, my colleague chipped in a short white skirt and some teasing action and I was off as a Dallas Cowboys Chearleader. As the token representative surrounded by thirty plus Brits masquerading as Americans, I was greeted by disbelief that I was real… it was a refreshing change to my colleagues who like to offer me English as a Foreign Language classes… and better than another friend’s party that was Independence Day: Celebrating Independence from Americans!
