Lei Ann...Off Duty

*lei ann on duty (mostly) ~ southern edition*

early this month, i took a trip down south to knoxville, tennessee for a big kung fu school anniversary celebration.  here are the “non” outfit photos that ensued…hahaha!  on our way down, we met up with 11 (yes eleven!) friends for lunch in silver springs, maryland; met another friend, saw her show & had lunch in abingdon, virginia; went zipling & rafting; ate mass quantities of BBQ & drank a lot of koolaid & sweet tea & *finally* did my kung fu performance in my lovely new, never debuted turquoise uniform that i brought back from china 2 years ago ^_^ 

*lei ann…ON DUTY*

so, i can’t believe i’m posting this. welp…too late, already clicked submit…done & DONE. you see, i usually don’t like mixing up stuff. when i eat asian food, i seriously avoid having the meats/veggies/sauces leak onto my white rice. i like keeping the rice pristine. i don’t like my different groups of friends mingling together, like spa girls amongst martial artists…no one has anything in common to talk about. BUT…here i am posting one of my kung fu photos on my all fashiony, prissy, high-heeled personal style blog. WTH?

as cute & girly as i looked yesterday, today i am decidedly not girly (but still cute right? hahaha). one of my duties of my second career as kung fu instructor is performing…whether it be demonstrating martial arts techniques or chinese lion dancing for various events, exhibitions or festivals. today, we were hired by the hmart in burlington to perform lion dancing for the store’s anniversary. so for today, lei ann…off duty is officially “on duty” ^_^

OF NOTE…even in regulation kung fu garb, i’m still on trend, right? check it…i’m FINALLY wearing red pants!!!
