That Gorgeous Green Dress Again - Enhanced By the Magic of Murals - Post 456
Angela Lansbury, wearing the green dress (previously in post 454) with the St Johns School mural. Photo author Angela Lansbury.
The clothes here are a bit of a mismatch. The dress is green, the shoes are neutral pale brown, the mask is orange, the cape blazer is black. I should have worn black shoes and a black mask to co-ordinate. From the point of view of the HOD club, the purpose of the award of a ribbon and the photo is to encourage a member or former member or visitor to feel that their evening has been successful and that it would be worthwhile to return and ideally, become a paying member and regular attendee of the HOD Toastmasters International speakers' training club.
As a former member of the UK club, and a current Vice President Public Relations of two clubs in Singapore, and Secretary of Singapore Online Dynamic, I am aware that one purpose of the photos is to place them on Facebook and other social media to attract attention partly and incidentally to Toastmasters International as a whole but specifically to this particular club. With that end in mind, I asked the participants of the photos to stand either side of the banner so that the name of the club could be seen.
The stunning backdrop of the mural is not appreciated so much when you are nearby. But when you take a photo it adds great interest and makes a marvel out of what might otherwise be a boring photo of two people, a banner and a tiny ribbon.
