Post Sari Shopping
Jun. 27th, 2005 12:53 amAhh... sitting in my bedroom after a lovely day of spending mine, and other people's money. The sari party was not well attended. Not sure what happened, as I had about "I'm comings" and no one actually came. But I was shopping for 3 - me and Tpau and Lady Sprite. So I did a certain amount of damage to Melinda's sari stash all by myself. I blew my own budget a bit, but managed to haggle from my represented customers so that I feel pretty happy about their final totals. Hoping they love their saris as much as I do. It was fun to induge in colors that don't suit my taste or coloring, but that I know will make other people look good. It's like getting to have the coloring you always wish you had. :)
( Rhapsodies on cloth )
Crazy Plan #3001: Write a book about the Sisterhood of Saris - a book about my adventures in learning about, and shopping for these lovely ornaments. Getting other people involved, meeting the unique personalities of those who share this love, and all the strange situations one gets into, being a Crazy White Woman who loves India. Hurdle #1: Become a better writers. Me speak OK English. Me could speak better.
Will write about Palio later - also very enjoyable... and busy. Sad to be not the devadasi to His Excellency. Glad to not be holding the competition, and glad to see it go to good hands, who I think will enjoy it as much as I did. ... if I loved it so much... maybe I should try be Court Scholar next year. :)
Good night.
