Summary:Frida would wear a richly laced long white dress with three-quarter sleeves, whose lower hem was adorned with a cute little red flower pattern, while I had on a blue-and-yellow top matched with a long olive-green skirt with white flounces at the hem (wearing jewelry was sadly not allowed, which always made us feel like we were going out naked). Since we didn't know why we were there, we said nothing. [...] we were in no position to satisfy the request of our comrade the principal, and told him as much. [...] this was not such an ideal day for taking pictures, as the sky was threateningly silver-gray and black: it looked like rain.
