I can fold clothes like nobody's business.
After a decade of working retail (including a stint as a Liz Claiborne vendor rep/merchandise coordinator) I fold clothes neatly in uniformly-sized piles (stacked by color even) and can finish a wall-full in minutes. I even trained Arnel to do the same -- although sadly he's OK with slightly lower standards. When my friends went crazy two Christmases ago for that folding gizmo featured on late-night infomercials, I laughed in their faces. Nope, I don't need a fancy board to do my folding. I can even fold clothes on my torso if a table isn't available (you've got to see me do this: while standing, I lean back, drape the garment face-down from my chest to lower abdomen area and fold away).
But this Japanese woman -- oh man -- she's got me beat. Yey sent me this video via email but I found the link on "chicagoist," a website about Chicago.
So you can guess what I'm doing tonight. Yep, I'm practicing her technique until I've got it down pat. The only downside is I can't possibly fold like this using my stomach. At least not yet.But you know I'll brag to the whole world when I finally figure it out -- you'll see my video.
