America's Next Top Model

On Friday evening, the LES (locally employed staff) at the Consulate will host a huge celebration of Tet for the entire Consulate community. Our family will be decked out in ao dai, the traditional Vietnamese dress. I took these shots of Amelia at her fitting with our tailor.
Yes, this is Vietnam, so we have a personal tailor who has made some amazing clothing for me and the girls at what I can only call rock-bottom prices. She is related, through marriage, to our nanny, Co Ty, and she is delightful and ADORES the girls, so it is such a treat to visit with her. Definitely one of the perks of this post.
