Remember, remember, the 18th of November!

The 18th of November is Latvian Independence Day - a big deal for those nutty Baltic folk. It was also a big day for Mudzuks (er, although it happened on the 12th), as this marked her official debut as a member of the Latvian School Performing Posse. (How many of us haven' t been there, done that...)

Getting her into her tautas terps was reasonably uneventful, although she was a bit annoyed at the buttons (buttons are just so passe in M's fashionista world)...

It was all a bit easier when she saw that Kaiva had one of those weird outfits too.


Posing for the school picture, was, well, you can imagine. 17 little Itchy-and-Sweaties standing on the steps into the church while hoardes of septo- and octogenarians vie for the cash-money pews... Its a wonder nobody lost a limb.


As for performing her role in the little ethnographic presentation... Well, let's just say this Star of Screen and Stage has yet to come into her own. Perhaps she's just still waiting for that role that speaks to her inner artist.

Playing with Vecais and the Eglisi is just so much more interesting.
