tomorrow is Liza Doolittle Day! For those of you who have seen the movie, you may remember when Liza is dreaming of the King who says, "Old Liza, old thing, I want all of England your praises to sing. Next week on the twentieth of May, I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!" I couldn't find anywhere on the internet where people have staged such a party, but in a way, that makes me even more unique than i thought (although surely, there are people who have thought of this!). I've celebrated this holiday for five or six years now, doing just a few things to remind myself how much I like the movie, the thought of trying to remake someone else but also learning that even if you change them, they may or may not turn out like you planned, and in the long run, you're better off simply sharing who you are and not demanding others attempt to be like you.
I watched the movie last night with my boyfriend to start the celebration, and I guess I may not do much more than that. Were I to plan? Well, you should definitely have a cup of tea (remembering to pronounce it properly - if you have trouble, say, cup cup cup cup, of of of of . . . ), a few strawberry tarts, chocolates (barrels of them), a ride in a taxi, and buy a flower off a poor girl, while otherwise working on your diction with marbles in your mouth and phonographs to record your mistakes. or you could contemplate the difference between social classes, even in your own city, and how language shapes our impressions of people. remember to always treat everyone well; they are all princes and princesses waiting to be shown off.
