There is that!

and a linothorax

yeah, satyr is very greek

and that boggan is SO bilbo 😄

Okay, dude is rocky it

rocking*

Just saying, there are SO many option other than "feather and loincloth"

Down side of being a pasty white guy, if I wear gold fabric, folks are like "Are you sick?"

heh!

Gold lame' is for Klingons!

"A Warrior's Lame'" Drinks prune juice and shines

that yellow one is stunning!

see, it says, "Ethnic, foreign, exotic (which has a bit unpleasant overtone but you know what I mean) without being disparaging 🙂 but I know I'm preaching to the choir

See, I figure eshu can be any race - and the "exotic" is due to them having bits and bobs from many travels and cultures, sometimes accumulated over lifetimes

so there might be some Ming dynasty hair accessories and Aztec sandals with their voile

I figure they WERE from those areas to start, but dreams spreead, and tying yourself to a mortal means you're also subject to blood mixing

See: Tizzy!

Oh no, I'm an unfeeling neanderthal sometimes rather than the choir. So I need to hear it now and then 😉

pfft

I do think the term cultural appropriation is over used ... if a pop star wears a Kimono and folks in Japan are cheering to see their styles get shown off, maybe she's got approval just by that? Etc

But it's a balancing act

Yeah, I remember there being like, a 5 year old who loved Geisha (I think) so her parents threw her a little birthday party that included face makeup, and some white savior folk got offended

Saying it was like blackface

NO, it was LITERALLY makeup they also wore... and there is CELEBRATING culture which is not the same 😄

Yup. I mean, if some jack ass goes around saying "Behold, the kimono, which I invented... "

No Columbus, ya didn't 🙂

Oh yeah. I dislike performative fake-outrage

Good example - I don't remember which celebrity, or it may have been a lot of them, but there was a time when white ladies were wearing tight little braids and basically acting like they invented the style

especially on the behalf of some other group

Kardashians, yes

I know nothing about the Kardashians and I am unreasonably proud of that fact 😄

ha!

"Bo Braids" A sigh Yeah... that's not what they were called. No matter how good Bo Derrek looked

this one got shut down pretty quickly by a great answer from a Real Live Japanese Person (tm) 😄

And yes, I realize the irony of posting the boggan had a unique design, then showing you all stock picture of a falcon design from online.. but I thought it was cool 😉

heee

it IS cool

it is!

And I imagine it is more form-fitting than Dagmar usually does, so she can be a big muscular beach goddess.

Yup. Modest but flattering.

yup!

And I think she might have gotten confident enough to wear it, even if she might not have chosen it on her own

I wondered what Symon would do there, and I think I invented a new kithain in this setting. There's a sluagh who runs the plumbing, and hangs out below ground in the cool, damp, dark, keeping all the pipes operational. They also get their pick of the lost and found, jewelry and such that gets lost in the pool, caught in the drains, and never claimed

Septic Sally

"It's SCEPTIC Sally" She hisses, unheard, and unheeded
