Grandma

My grandmother is Chinese. I'm only one fourth so most people are surprised to hear that I have any Asian blood in me! This is a picture of her, around 1958 or so:
Isn't she beautiful? I love the style of dress she is wearing (she was so fashionable!). I found some lovely modern takes on the cheong-sam (or "qi-pao") on Etsy:

    You're grandma is just beautiful. I love the style of her dress. I love the Asian style. I have lots of hip and thighs, so I have trouble fitting them, but I love the look.
