I just have to say .... I really love this 'attire', I know it is 'historical',
but I find it most sexy, a pity I won't get it in my country, would really
love to do a couple of pic's wearing it ....

No Arty they don't, eew on the lip and neck stretching,
me personally find it to be totally un-sexy ... lol,
the one's I found on e-bay are really expensive, but maybe ....

I find this to be a very alluring and beautiful picture - of course I do ... it's a sexy, beautiful woman and the traditional headdress gives her a feeling of wildness.

Unfortunately ... here in North America ... these things have also recently become very political. There would be a few very outspoken natives (aboriginal) who would take offence to this and claim that it's cultural appropriation and misuse of a traditionally significant symbol of power and authority - it was only tribal leaders who would earn the right to wear a headdress.

However, for me personally .. though I certainly respect the historical significance of such things - I feel as though a great many people don't mean to cause offence - rather they are compelled by the beauty and power it visually represents.

Awesome picture!

sensitive to people abusing or misuse something
that is important to them and part of their heritage.
