Confession: I wasn't always an agnostic New Englander, a compost enthusiast, or a radically-liberal cat lady. You can read my personal essay on The Rumpus about my accidental Republicanism, and why I think uber-conservative rhetoric is bad for girls. And yes. You can see the home video that mortifies me to the core. Hint: Perm. Hair bow. Bad teeth. Shy southern talking. xo MMB CommentsAshley Dugan 10/15/2012 1:46pm
I remember these bangs from elementary school! and the hairbow, you always had the best bows. I especially liked the ones with puffy paint. marilyn ritter 10/17/2012 5:39pm
Oh, I really liked the piece you wrote for many reasons. But-stop beating yourself up for what happened so long ago to a little girl who was awe-struck by meeting the president! You came across as a shy but respectful child who was thrilled to get that autograph. I think the video is just a snapshot in time and not something written in stone. You were poised and articulate-not like many children today who can't say two words unless they interject "like you know". I loved it but of course I am a fan. Leave a Reply |
