A Disappointed Star Wars Fan


That fan is me. I am disappointed. I am not disappointed because I just remembered that I used to have a "Star Wars: A New Hope" lunch box (a tin one) and now I don't know where it is. I am disappointed because the royal clothing from Naboo was, in fact, not original or creative, it was just Mongolian. Khalkh, Mongolian to be exact. Compare pictures to the side.

I'm big on clothing today because Sukhbaatar Square had a giant traditional garb pageant today along with a variety show of contortionists, throat singers, mask dancing, merionettes (including one of Obama in a del robe) and dancers. There was a pageant for children and couples that included hundreds of people with clothing on from all different parts of the country. Some of it was incredibly ornate. I particularly enjoyed the lime green cupcake wedding dresses.

Tomorrow I'm headed to the Gobi and won't be able to blog for 12 days until I return. Hopefully, I'll come back with sweet ger building skills and a sexy tan. Hopefully, I do not come back with dysentery and lice (both being incredibly likely).
