Why you grillin' me?

German Indians

Carly shared this with me.




These images were taken by photographers Andrea Robbins and Max Beecher.

"Every year in February many cities in Germany celebrate Karnival, or Fasching. Over a period of several days people dress up in costumes, get together, celebrate and have parades and parties. Children also participate and put on all kinds of homemade or storebought costumes. Many dress up as Native Americans, images of which they have derived from American movies as well as from the book and film versions of the novels of Karl May."

Carly mentioned how this had to do with the German identity crisis after WWII. The confusion led to the exploration of different world cultures.

Native Nikes

These are just tacky. I'd prolly wear them though.

Vintage Mayan Playing Cards.

These playing cards were manufactured in the Soviet Union. Supposedly Soviet Russians were enamored with the Mayans, sort of like myself.
