It's Hot and Cold in Miami -- Presentation
Rachel has theories about a lot of things - how she ended up with humongous beaver teeth, why tourist who visit Miami wear such ugly cloths, and why her father loves her identical twin sister, Rebecca, the most.... And why is Rachel always in trouble, unlike Rebecca?
Rachel and Rebecca -- Loosely based on Nicole's own childhood experience of being a twin -- the lesser twin. And what becomes of the "lesser" twin? Being a twin and growing up has its funny moments and the serious moments -- how much did Rubel make up and how much is directly from her own life -- the truth is in Nicole's presentation. The theme of this program is metamorphosis. Learn how to make a birthday cake to celebrate Rotten Ralph's birthday -- http://nicolerubel.com/rotten2-1.wmv
