Because all study breaks require a bit of nastolgia.....


Grandma's dress from Haiwaii.


















The Grandma dress I should have worn to Heart's Dance all those years ago!!! Just give me a place to go and I'll wear it this time.












Mommio's prom dress!

















But studying can also be pretty interesting too!

These two are just fun examples. The first is from New Ireland and the second is from Kuba and is called a Muskangy.











And then there is the Maprich Men...... and yes this is an obvious societal metaphor.

The Long Yam is carefully grown and protected by each man in the community and then is compared at the end of harvest. The yam is decorated with a mask, and at times the man himself will wear the mask as well...














But now I must say I'm excited to just cuddle up with my book on Halston and my favorite little gray kitty!
