Happy 4-20

No, this image isn't wiggling, it's just you.

 Today's post makes no sense  Why should it?  It's 4-20 and I reserve the right to be as incoherent as possible, but in all honesty I never was that coherent to begin with.  Disclaimer: the celebration of 4-20 does not mean the Blog Author advocates illegal activity of any kind...I just think it's funny.

Here's some brightly colored images for you to stare at.

from some new-agey site 

Whoa...

from the same new agey site

Anybody else thinking about the end of the world?

These rocks glow in the dark!

I realize this picture has nothing to do with Native Americans at all, but they're rocks and they freaking GLOW IN THE DARK!  Isn't that just mind blowing?

This thing is creeping me out...

from www.glitzgifts.net

It's like somebody's handbag came to life and tried to start a conversation with you.
I can't tell if this is "Native Inspired" or not, the description is too damn long for me to read with that thing staring at me, but it costs $2,777.00.

Lookie, another dreamcatcher...

I found this while looking for Iktomi. This is not him, but don't worry, he'll turn up.

But if you need a spider fix...  (NSFW, wait, who am I kidding, you aren't at work!)

And for the munchies...

Yes, Cupcake Teepees with SPRINKLES!

Happy 4-20, ya'll!

Disco Fever (PNSFW)

Cher in 1973
(not touching the debate on Cher's "self-identified Cherokee" ancestry)

In the seventies, it was cool to be an "Indian", unless, of course, you happened to be an Indian.

I happen to know some Apaches.  I can say with some certainty, there's nothing Apache here!  Check out the shiny, blue fringe on Mr. "Butter Popcorn".

No Apaches here, either!
Did you catch the play tent?

This could be the Hipster Pretendian Theme-song:

Perhaps Ke$ha will cover it next!
Don't you just  love the Album art? Thankfully, we're spared the video with this one. 

Of course, that is a re-make of this song:

I know it's from 1968 and not disco, but it's just too awful not to include.

What's a disco post without The Village People?

Felipe Rose honors his heritage by dancing in a loincloth, again.

Oh, but we've come so far since the Seventies, right?

This is a Norwegian band called Wig Wam. I'm just as confused as you are. 
Look them up on You tube if you're bored or really hate yourself.
(btw- that guy's shirt says "I Chief; You Nothing!" or something to that effect, I found it odd.)

How to go "Awful" Pretendian Style (NSFW)

Sadly, Felipe Rose is not a pretendian.  We just wish he was.

 Pretendian  noun
Someone who appropriates generic, stereo-typical Native American themes in an attempt to appear more exotic, earthy, ironic, rebellious and possibly even whorish, but in an easily digestible "one with nature" kind of  way.  Pretendians have no grasp on o current or past Native American issues.  They are oblivious that their actions and wardrobe are offensive, because, of course, that would require acknowledging other people have thoughts and feelings.

But we can all get in on the fun, right?

Every good Pretendian needs a fabulous headdress:

Peaches Geldorf (http://tinyurl.com/45f46d9)

 Is that a feather duster she's wearing?

Or maybe just a few feathers will do...

Etsy user dekadence

 Wow, plastic warrior, feathers from the craft aisle at Walmart, a recipe to offend every Indigenous person you meet. How ironic is that?

And for days you fear you may be mistaken for a cat toy: ( Don't worry, it happens to real Natives all the time.  It's true, more Native Americans die each year from cats attacks than spontaneous combustion and blimp accidents combined!)

Added bonus, headbands will hold your wig on! (watch REEL INJUN for more info)  In case you weren't born with stick straight black hair, that you know, all Indians have.

But then again, nothing says "too cool worry about offending people" like Dead Animal on the head:

Charlotte Kemp Muhl, who has some, you know, mystic aversion to bras.

Don't forget the jewelry:

Etsy user feathercreations (she likes being topless, apparently. I almost had a SFW post, too)

 Oh Gawd...

etsy user MountainGirlClothing

Lee Bogle, now in hoodie form, accompanied by Guatemalan back-strap loomed trim because, you know, all Indigenous stuff goes together.

Don't forget your leather outfit!

etsy user dleather, who isn't posing as N.A. artisan. She does custom leather work.  She also has fringed leather corsets, loin-cloths, etc, for all your role-playing needs.

No, I didn't forget the guys.

  Wow, I suddenly feel inadequate...

The end result should offend about everyone or you're doing it wrong!

Dancing with the stars.  Found at listicles.

I'm listening to what you have to say, too! See the new NSFW tags?  You did that, okay a Newspaperrock reader clued me in on that, but anyway, it's there.  I love you all too much to get you fired.
