Bollywood Here We Come

I am hearing that one of perks of living here is the series of fundraising galas that go on in November and December. I have never really been the gala type, but if I haven't said it here before, my motto while living abroad is "Adapt and survive." And if I must become the gala type, then so be it.

So, we've purchased tickets to the Bollywood Gala to benefit a small, international school near our home. It was described to me that the gala has 3 components: dance class, having an Indian (as in India- the country) outfit made, and the actual event itself. I've been too busy to take the dance classes- though I've heard they are a hoot, but today I bought an Indian outfit. My friend Brenda, our daughters, and myself all ventured into Bangkok to have something special made.

I may have become the gala type but that doesn't mean I'm not practical. I really wanted something that I would wear more than once. The dresses were gorgeous, but so many were styles that I would never again wear after the event. I tried on several...

And finally found something that suited me. Stay tuned...I will surely blog about the night!
