Kimono Chaos


We had a whole lot of fun on Diversity Day. After Emily handily won us third place in the fashion show (woo-hoo!), we had some time to fill in before the next event. Not surprisingly, most of the kids just had to try on the kimono.
Here's more eighties gold. Cringe or enjoy. The slides work well to this tune if you click play.
