It's just too punk-y to me to be cultural appropriation. Although, I like the idea of the really tall show girl feathers for you, like in the second kingdom pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483599 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 04:13:15 +0000 annagybe 483599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But I don't think anyone is going to mistake me for a Papua New Guinea tribal person</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mytripsmypics/2909400708/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/m.....909400708/</a></p> <p>So some level of appropriation is going to happen.

I wonder if that is something you could make... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483331 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:07:22 +0000 Lori 483331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about this: <a href="http://www.fantasymasquerades.com/Peacock_feather_headdress_p/478.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.fantasymasquerades......_p/478.htm</a></p> <p>A bit of the black from the original and peacock from the inspiration.(?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483318 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:48:14 +0000 annagybe 483318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, but a bit too vintage/British wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483315 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:46:11 +0000 bella 483315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how about this?<br /> <a href="http://www.hipheadgear.com/proddetail.asp?prod=480258222" rel="nofollow">http://www.hipheadgear.com/pro.....=480258222</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483306 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:41:21 +0000 bella 483306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last one is a more stylized mohawk so I am getting more steampunk vibe than mohawk from it. That said, I don't think it has the same awesome vibe of the peacock headgear you linked to in your last post. That one looks over the top and sophisticated at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483303 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:39:38 +0000 Vicki 483303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your inspiration with the peacock feathers and the soft feather vest. I think what works here is the delicate centering of the feathers on an unseen cap. Plus, the softness is repeated with the green feathered vest. Really amazing and now I see where you're "headed" with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483287 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:27:30 +0000 annagybe 483287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my inspiration.</p> <p><a href="http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/2009/03/my-crown-of-feathers.html" rel="nofollow">http://kingdomofstyle.typepad......thers.html</a></p> <p>They say the event is formal party (I know this group, formal is questionable). I was thinking LBD plus over the top head wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483282 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:23:30 +0000 Vicki 483282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining Bella and the others on this, too. At first glance, your second link reminded me of Phoenix Rising. What's the dress or outfit going to be? I love the way you push the envelope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483267 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:10:42 +0000 annagybe 483267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about this</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/86993447/red-party-feather-mohawk-in-reds-with?ref=v1_other_1" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/86.....v1_other_1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483265 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:09:02 +0000 annagybe 483265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh rats, that I was thinking in the back of my head. It's too literal to get either a Belle Epoque or 20's vibe. Patty, that one your found is nice but a bit too vintagey for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483258 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:05:39 +0000 Patty 483258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe--&gt; <a href="http://www.unique-vintage.com/custom-made-black-fringe-feather-flapper-headband-p-2056.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.unique-vintage.com/.....-2056.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483207 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:21:31 +0000 rachylou 483207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks Vegas showgirl to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483200 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:14:49 +0000 CocoLion 483200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been watching "I Claudius" dvd's and I am seeing ancient Rome! The leather headband and metal detail is what makes it look Roman to me. But the feathers are pretty Native, so it's a toss up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483197 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:08:22 +0000 bj1111 483197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not my fave...but it could be without the claw detail and the side leather/ feathers. then it would be 20s inspired which is supposed to be the next hot decade.</p> <p>the appropriation doesn't bother me as much as the lack of sophistication and class. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483196 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:08:16 +0000 JennyAnne 483196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I agree with the others. :-\ I bet you could find an awesome alternative, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-appropriation-or-cool#post-483192 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:03:14 +0000 mrseccentric 483192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anna! i'm with bella and rae - not cool.</p> <p>What IS cool is your taking the time to think about how your choices may affect other people, even people you don't even know.
