"Christina Chan and Judy Tso's performance at the Community Growing
Center on Sunday June 9th was a great success. The show, Bobby Pins Up Your
Nose, was a funny and poignant piece based on the sad and hilarious truths
faced by Asian American women about body image and fitting in. A series of
quick scenes and images were passed before the audience in this clear and
thought provoking performance. Although the sketches were auto biographical
in their nature, the material was presented in such a way to invite you in
and to share in it through your own experience. The piece was both humble
and bold , personal and universal, Christina and Judy offered us a stong and
clear performance that was much enjoyed." Kat Mitchell, Coordinator of Events, Somerville Community Growing Center. |

Bobby Pins which presents such ideas as stereotypes and body image for people of Asian descent, was extremely powerful in its seamless blend of poignancy and sharp humor. ... I found myself laughing at things I identified and reflecting on the effect stereotypes about Asiana had on me.
