My mother's a dressmaker.
I spend with my sisters most of our Thursdays and Friday evenings or weekends in the Sentier, which is the wholesale district for textiles.
And we choose textiles, which inevitably means that we all get to choose our own textiles and get off cuts and stuff from these places, from these warehouses.
Wow.
All this to say, I get to London in this very big school.
and there's no uniform, and the worst thing in the world possibly could happen, I dress myself.
And I show up.
I had pink polka dot shorts.
With a yellow shirt and a matching bow tie.
Yeah.
But here's the most delicious part of it.
I thought it was completely normal.
Yeah.
To me, when I was, by the end of the day, hiding in the bathroom.
Your bow tie was off.
Crying.
And I didn't have anything to change into.
I did take off the bow tie, but I still had to walk around with my polka dot Bermudas.
So that's embarrassment.
Totally.
