So many times I have experienced the onlooker’s uncertainty and the politically correct way of calling… THAT…. THAT something on your head, with out risking the slight chance of seeming un-hip, un-aware, umm just plain un-open minded.
I have to say that the chance to take notice or inspect and observe has to be taken regardless. The naming sometimes MUST come later… if it comes at all. In fact what should matter more is the message, the perspective it exudes in its own personal body language… some good and some a not so good. The presence, the essence of THAT… whatever it is on your head, will always bring attention to you, especially a women in this day and age. So what happens when that attention comes your way, what is your message, your own presence in that space and time? How do you see yourself? How do other’s perceive you? Is what you value able to come through from your inner self to the surface?
And you thought the naming came first:) When it comes to the naming, the formalities of each piece of clothing it should ultimately lead us back to its function and purpose. Whether it is called a fez, khimar, Do-rag, cufi, wrap, scarf YOU are the one who wears it, so what is your purpose and what function is it serving for you?
Until next time…let your beauty blossom
