I've got an old post here that I never published (because I keep failing at uploading videos- someone help me please!). Look for an all new post later this week!
Yesterday (February 17th) was the Little Miss Grade 2 pageant at the Salisbury Primary School. As organizing beauty pageants are now a line item on my resume I was recruited to assist. I was envisioning something out of Tiaras & Toddlers.
The contestants were six 7-year-old girls; an ESL student, a rasta girl and a big-boned British-Dominican girl included. My highlight was Princess Sajah’s (her legal name) talent, she recited a poem about toiling in the Dominican soil, and the British girl singing “I am beautiful”.
The girl in red was expected to be the ringer (odds were 6 to 1 mangoes in her favor) as her mom owns a beauty shop AND she likes fashion but the British girl came from behind and claimed the title of "Little Miss Salisbury Primary School Grade 2".
Update: She's performing her duties wonderfully.
I've noticed you're all getting a bit rusty with your Dominican. Here's two good hints:
1. Replace "looking for" with "watching for".
Usage:
"I was watching for Erin's post about the gay men from California who were arrested in Dominica for buggery last week but she is never writing posts."
2. Use "next" for "another".
Usage:
"I'm not seeing it either. Miss Aireen must have got a next hobby. Probably learning to make delicious rum punch and explaining to people in Salisbury why she never told them San Francisco is the capital of sodomy before and they had to hear it on the radio 15 times a day for the past week."
