The boys are gone! This is what the necklace looked like without the seed beads. (see the boys with the seed beads on Monday of this week below) I wore it when I went to see one of my favorite people Monday afternoon and she bought the boys.
I will miss them!!!! But now I just have to make some more. I love those guys! I use to throw them on with a black tank top & pants and I was pretty well dressed for almost any event here on the island.
That's one of the wonderful things about living here. You can go to something and people will be dressed in everything from shorts to a sparklie evening dress. Dressing up in the islands can mean a wide range of things, there is some serious room for interpretation and self expression.
I guess you could say that there are few clothing rules in the islands. The only one I can think of off hand is NO Swimsuits in town! It's actually kind of funny when you think about it, but people are really irritated by people who wear swimsuits shopping. I know, I know, people coming off cruise ships and tourist connect swimsuits and the islands and don't have any way of knowing that wearing them in town isn't just an accepted part of life. Know what else no one that lives here does??? Wear sun hats. We almost never wear sun hats. You can always pick out the tourist ....they have one the sun hat. LOL! Little did you know you were waving a "visitor flag" when you wore a sun hat in the hot sun down here, did you ?
BE BOLD, EAT CAKE, WEAR ART!!!
