Yes, it is important to be proactive and to plan the things which you can control.<br /><br />(And, yes, going through the dress shops and making modifications! Balls are good when you can have some flexibility in colour and shape).<br /><br />Girls can be very co-operative about hair and make-up, though it is important to get someone you know and trust through the changes.<br /><br />"Individuality is not stopping people from doing what you do, but doing things nobody else would dare dream of."<br /><br />(or doing things that everyone might dream of but adding flair!)<br /><br />Trying to remember all the meetings and committees involved.<br /><br />(Why can there be reasonable resources on studies involved, but not on balls? Travel in particular does seem problematic).<br /><br />And, yes, the snarkiness! And the brutality and the brittleness.<br /><br />Are there any Ball Bibles? It would have to be a stunning piece of theatre/performativity. That you could hand on to the next class and make it open and transparent? Good wishes to the Committee.<br /><br />(One of Shanghai's big strengths in trade would be dress and textiles, as well as education. Remember Shanghai in the PISA and TIMMs).<br /><br />So what are the protocols with jewellry? Do the dates give them to you?<br /><br />Best wishes for the Ball.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.com
