I like your wrap. It's really pretty. Where was the wedding?

Lovely wrap! You look so perfect for a fall wedding! (I think I saw Martha Stewart wear something similar to a wedding she did. . . but that is only a compliment if you like Martha Stewart! Which I sort of do. . .)

Hey thanks Gretchen. Kevin bought that for me from Turkey, and I don't have many opportunities to wear it, so I wear it when I can. :)

Turkey, huh? I knew it looked unique! :) It's one of those things you can't wear a whole lot, but you could never get rid of, because it is so pretty! I have a gorgeous Sari my friend brought me back from India. I've worn it all of once, but I've let my sisters borrow it a couple times! :)

Its cool because its actually folded in half. If I opened it up and turned it over the other side is striped multi colors rather than maroon.
Kevin also brough me a kanga from Africa. Thats another thing that I might wear once a year or so. Its sort of like a sari (a sari is just a skirt right). Its really pretty. It has a saying in swahili on the back. Kevin didn't know what it said, he just bought it for the color (purple-my favorite), so when Rob Howell was back in the US a couple of year ago I brought it in and had him translate it for me. It says something like "he who does not know me does not care." :) (8:41 AM) - Gretchen ~
WOW! I totally dig all things African, but I have no clothes. How cool!
Yeah, a sari is basically one really long piece of fabric that you tuck tuck tuck and wrap to make a whole outfit. Mostly they just wear a little top underneath. Mine is actually not a exact sari, kind of easier to wear. It is the long shirt that is a dress, and then POOFY baggy pants things that go underneath. . . my friend told me the name, but I can't remember. It is red (my favorite) and hand embroidered all over with flowers and stuff. I love it. (12:20 PM) - Kelley ~
Oh, ok. The kanga is just a skirt, but same kind of thing. Its just one huge piece of material that you wrap and tuck to make a skirt. I cheat and pin it too because I'm always a little nervous to wear it just tucked. :)

I have a new kid's book for you. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". Trust me. It is totally original! Nothing with Egypt, or anything. . .
Okay, I am caving and I have to tell you what it's about. Its about the Holocaust and it's from a german boy's point of view, and he has no idea what's going on, and his dad is the soldier in charge of Auschwitz, but they call it "out-with" so you don't get it right away. He also calls Hitler "the fury" (furer, get it?) and a bunch of other misnomers so you follow the story without making presumptions. BIG SUPRISE ENDING. How old are the kids in your class? I would read it with 4th or 5th graders, at least, though I think it is intended for middle school. Anyway, this one's hot off the press! You could read it for your class, if you are just looking for something new! (8:27 PM) - Unknown ~
