CONversion
How does one go from a WASP to a WCC? The transition isn’t really that hard.
1. Both are accustomed to bland food
WASP: Thanks to Mum’s lack of cooking skills (in contrast to her shopping skills!)
WCC: Courtesy of the “cooks” in CDR
2. Khakis are a wardrobe staple
WASP: Do I really need to elaborate? From your first school uniform to your Beach Club staple with blue blazer
WCC: The brands may be different (Polo vs Dickie’s) but the look is the same
3. Passion for sports
WASP: You may have grown up on tennis, croquet and polo but you enjoy any competitive sport
WCC: Fancy a game of soccer? Baseball? Badminton? Even card games become fierce at Camp
4. Who doesn’t enjoy a good party?
WASP: Entertaining is in your blood since your first recital as a child to your epic rush parties as social chair
WCC: Now you channel your skills into pot luck bruncheons and supper parties as well as weekend movie nights with all of the trimmings
5. You love your spa time
WASP: Weekly facials, massages and pedicures…ahhhhhhh
WCC: It may not be the same luxurious lavender scented environment but you definitely can maintain your beauty glow with regular scrubs, masks, threading and mani/pedis
6. You like conversing in many tongues
WASP: Who can forget their semester abroad and the delights of speaking the language of romance?
WCC: Brush off your High School Spanish and College French and practice with the women/men in your midst as well as learning a new language (or two) to maximize your sabbatical
