Ave. I struck up a conversation with
one of the hair stylists (they were
once called beauticians, I understand)
while my own stylist was work-
ing to make me look fabulous (and
succeeding pretty well, I might add).
The stylist, whom I’ll call Elaine
because, well, that’s her name,
innocently mentioned the Victoria’s
Secret debacle. I must have been
having a mouthy day (I often am). I
found myself saying something that
could be perceived as something
politically incorrect (heaven forbid).
Elaine said something about the cruel
things “we’ve” done to the Native
Americans. I said, “Really? I’ve never
been cruel to any Native Americans?
Have you?”
Elaine pondered this for a moment
before she replied, ”Well, come to
think of it, I haven’t done anything to
the Native Americans either.”
As it turned out, no one in the
salon that day could think of a single
mean thing they’ve done to Native
Americans in general or any single
Native Americans in particular or
even any married ones.
But the question arises, if you
can’t speak your mind in a beauty
shop, where can you enjoy freedom
of speech?
I found myself admitting to my
own headdress experience. I had to
admit that I did buy my own Native
American Headdress when I was 16
for a costume party I had coming
up. (I ended up going dressed as
Jordan Baker from The Great Gatsby
instead.) But I purchased the [head-
dress] from a shop in Arizona that
was owned by a Native American
family and I overpaid for it — $300
earned as a part-time waitress at a
steakhouse was a lot of money for
a relic from a curio shop while on
vacation). But, I have to say that was
my own decision. I feel compelled to
state, for the record, that I never, not
once wore the headdress with suede
underpants and a suede foundation
garment (otherwise known as a bra).
After I got it home, I found a label in
the headband that said, “Made in Sri
Lanka.” I suspect it wasn’t really even
made of eagle feathers.
Despite this slightly negative
