I was in an all girls' school.
We had to take the male roles in plays.
I was in Grade 9.
I was to play a boy - the to-be bride's brother (who eats the sandwiches).
We were discussing my costume - mainly JEANS or SHORTS.
I tried on Shorts first.
My Principal took one look and said - 'her legs are so skinny and feminine, nobody would believe she's a boy'.
It was said in a tone of frustration - that the costume didn't work - but it's to date the biggest compliment I received.
