Dinning with the Kiwis

For a night away from MacTown, and town for that matter, Thursday night "Dine with the Kiwis," is a great escape. On this particular Thursday, Me, Zachary, Amanda, Troy, Travis, Kelli, Cara, Brett and Jonathan climbed into the shuttle (driven by Grump) for an evening of delicious food, drinks and artificial fireside time.

Let the fun begin!

Mmmmm...dinner and wine!

Brett, Travis enjoy a nice MOA brew while Troy sips on
an L&P (New Zealand carbonated lemon water).

All smiles for picture time!

I spy a little red tomato amongst all those green leaves!

Little sprouting plants!

MOA! New Zealand brewed beer - ANTARCTIC EDITION!

And a reminder of what happens at Scott Base to rowdy Americans!

McMurdo Top Model Fashion Show

Even at the bottom of the world, there are catwalks, runways and walk-offs. The only thing we're missing is tiny cell phones and David Bowie, though I expect he'll show up via space craft at any moment.

I went as Petra Rosiere, pink is SO the new black.

Ouuu a model: Mel-A(hhh)-Nie.

Clever Display, Fashion is on the Way!

In a place where not much changes, changes are often noticed, and, grately appreicated. This week, in preparation for the upcoming McMurdo TopModel Fashion Show, Cara created a lovely, witty and interactive display in the store window.
