Yes, we know that you know that the Peace Corps Community marched in the Inaugural Parade this past January. You've seen the photos, watched the videos, read the blogs, gotten the latest issue of WorldView magazine....
But you haven't seen this! Bea Tijerina (Ghana 97-99, Zambia 06) just sent us a photo of her entry in the Washington Post's 2009 Peeps Diorama Contest. Contestants were told to:
"make a diorama of a famous occurrence or scene or concept. It can be a
historic, current or future event. It can be a nod to pop culture. It
can be an evocation of an idea or abstraction. The one rule is that all
the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps, those
marshmallowy chicks and rabbits plaguing checkout lines in every
convenience store this season."
Bea the RPCV naturally thought of her Peace Corps "peeps" marching and came up with the wonderful entry you see below:
And here is the original inspiration, from a photo as it appeared in the Washington Post (naturally):
Bea's entry was one of over 1,000 entries. It didn't win a prize from the Post, but we LOVE it!
