I wish I could take credit for this game, but my friends Matilda, Calli, Simon and Matt were playing it and I just jumped on the bandwagon on twitter.
It’s easy – what five careers would you pick, in any time, place or gender? If you’re anything like me you’ll struggle to think of the first few and then you’ll think of a hundred.
I’m currently on: 1930s explorer/archaeologist in Egypt, poet/writer/muse 1920s Paris, ballerina, lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette (pre-revolution), late 1950s early 1960s film star – LA, Palm Springs, Cannes etc.
Best of the rest -
Matt: Cabaret MC Weimar Germany, Vatican priest, high sea explorer, Beat Generation poet/saxophonist, Native American chief
Matilda: Bauhaus architect, black blues singer, frontier USA cowgirl, astronaut, artist/poet in the 1920s
Simon: Paris 1920s film maker, Hells Angels bikie, Enlightenment inventor, Renaissance composer, LA 1940s industrial designer
Calli: 1980s Vogue editor, primatologist, Bauhaus architect, 1920s Paris artist/poet/muse, colonial Africa game hunter
Sheree: window shop designer, 1930s circus performer, concreter (smooth it over with a little spade), 1950s housewife, the President
Georgina: C18 promenading French woman, Amelia Earhart, 1970s hippie band groupie ala almost famous, artists muse, chocolatier
