My fatdogsport t-shirt with mini-hood...
and now with mini-skirt!
The thing is, this dress is seriously too risque for Korea -
If I were a Korean, I'd have to wear a shirt under or over it!
Picnic at the assylum anyone? ;-)
Another long-torso shirt.
It's so long I could almost wear it as a dress.
Yep, that's Frangeul people.
I wonder if it makes as much sense to French speakers
as Konglish makes to me?

Can I just say that the first pic makes you look crazy white chick trying to play crazy Korean chick. With that said, I love the other three outfits. By the way, went to the reunion and had a fabulous time. It was so much fun. Saw people that I have not seen in years. Melissa is supposed to e-mail you some pictures. Both she and Alex look fabulous with their weight loss. Most people looked the same though some of them looked completely different and had they not come up and said hello, I am not sure that I would have recognized them. I will say that it was good to see them. Tell Gwen that I took Melissa and Alex to see her mother, but she was not in. I think that both you and Gwen would have had a good time. If you and Gwen are going to be in Florida at the same time, I am going to try and get in touch with Avery and I have Melissa Maddox's e-mail, and I have Jordan's e-mail, we should have a little band reunion party. Someone needs to find Israel. Oh well, I must run. Hope that all is well.

But... I *AM* a crazy white chick trying to play crazy Korean chick! I can't wait to see reunion pictures. Also, Israel is here if you're interested.
Definitely frangeul.
Chris, you went to your high school reunion? I don't know about mine next year. The popular clique has been trying to organize something through myspace and e-mail, but I never liked any of them, and I feel like I don't have enough money to go for revenge purposes. Or enough degrees. Not that the degrees would matter to most of these people.
Whoops! Sorry, Jane, I felt guilty about leaving a comment on your blog and not mentioning you or your post at all.
That French makes no sense to me, but then again, I'm not that fluent anymore.
"On peut croire que c'est Macao" means "One can believe that it's Macao." I think.
You know Glen, I can not believe that I went to my reunion either, but it was a good deal of fun, and I was suprised at the number of people working towards their Masters degrees and PhD's. Many of whom I would never have expected. It blew me away. Besides this, everyone was very nice, and it really was a good time. Much more than I expected it to be. And as far as the French, it makes absolutely no sense at all. But I do like the shirt. I really think that the orange dress is stunning.

Glenn -- I had the same reservations that you have, but I ended up having a good time. Granted, I would not have gone had Chris and Maddox not agreed to go. It was interesting to see what people were up to.
Jane -- I really think we should have a band reunion when you and Gwen are back in town. Lots of people asked me about both of you, btw.
Also -- I agree with Chris that it the first picture looks like crazy white girl playing crazy asian girl. In particular, when I first saw it it reminded me of the chick from Babel, not sure why.

Though they look great, please don't wear the orange dress (sans a cover-up tee) or green striped mini skirt to work! :)
heh heh... no worries.... i wouldn't want to freak the kids out!
People interested in my 10 year high school reunion (which I didn't attend, what with being in Korea and all) can click here for Melissa's pics.
I'd be up for a band reunion!
Damn, I'm considering a career teaching English in Korea just so I can go shopping for fluorescent Konglish clothes.
Yeah, you probably don't want to be the Mrs. Cunnigham (our slutty looking Algebra/Geometry teacher, for the non-CHS folks) of Oedae :)
Matty and Chad Cray were going to go to the reunion (except that Matt graduated 1998). I wonder if they did!
Also, I would love to see the pictures, but Melissa's myspace is private...
Can't believe Jordan was there.
Caitlin
Hmmm... I don't know about Matt, but I know Chad went. I'm hoping more pics go online... you know how I love cyberstalking people.
I don't understand why the orange dress would be considered slutty but Korean women can show off their whole damn hootchie-cootchies with ultra short skirts and it's considered fashionable.
Especially since you're not spilling out of the top.
I believe in Korea that it's considered scandalous to bare your shoulders, but it's okay to show off your legs. Which makes me a skank, because I usually work the other way.
I really adore that orange dress on you, Jane. But you should have posted that long shot of the four Janes in their new summer clothes!
In many places (especially in areas not as conservative as Daegu, and around the universities) super-short skirts are perfectly acceptable... no matter what the weather. Meanwhile, bearing your shoulders (much less, your cleavage, even if it's as nonexistent as mine) is frowned upon. I am wearing a sleeveless dress today, but I don't usually wear little strappy things out in public here. Daegu is more conservatice than the rest of Korea in general... and especially out in nearly-rural East Daegu where I live. Most women wear skirts at or below the knee and loose-fitting, shoulder-covering tops.
Also, the Four Janes image was too wide for the site, but it's here if anyone's interested.
Korea has definitely become more liberal since I have been here as far as women's fashions are concerned. I have learned that while Korean women can get away with wearing certain things, foreign women wearing the same things will be stared at and sometimes lectured, especially in a business setting. We are held to a higher standard of 'propriety'.
When I worked at ECC, a female co-worker got called in for a meeting concerning her wardrobe. In the summer she often wore thin tank-tops with unlined bras... The parents were calling like crazy complaining about her, uh, headlights. She was mortified!
you sure are purty.... purtiest blogger this side of anywhere!
cheers...
