Bloggers Wear: Headdresses


"Bloggers Wear": Highlighting items that bloggers wear, how they wear them, and what they're thinking while they do. Today's edition: headdresses...hair feathers...feathery headgear of sorts, I guess...

Bob Dylan put it best when he said, "The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind". Actually no, Robert Frost put it best when he said, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." I mean...you know what I mean though? Like, I'm the one taking the road not taken, and my answers - like my head pieces - are blowing in the wind. Life is a journey...as is love - as is knowledge - as are DIY projects...you never know where any of them they will take you! One day I'm in a grass pasture humming Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold" and the next day I'm in front of a concrete wall with AC/DC on the mind. 

I'm pensive, I'm sexual, I'm nurturing and I'm difficult. My headdress expresses my rebellion and my sense of culture, and strong sense of roots. I'm from west LA, I'm 1/64 Cherokee, my mom was raised by a Cuban nanny in Miami, and my brother's fiance is from the Philippines - so I have a wide range of cultural influences. I guess you could call me a cultural connoisseur. I majored in "Modern Pop-Cultural Anthropological Philosophy" - a self-designed major at Gallatin NYU - and I made the Dean's list my freshman and sophomore years. Now I'm back in LA, and though I do drive, it's a Hybrid and I never use the air conditioning or the windshield wiper fluid - both are wasteful and contribute to my carbon footprint. 

Oh you like my head feathers? I sell them on Etsy...they range from $150-$250 since I only use real feathers from exotic Caribbean birds. Shout me out!! You get a discount if you type in the code "CONSRV" at checkout.
