Rainbow  Mohawk &  New  "Love  Paint" Makeover

Even a girl on the run can have a slow day at the embassy. Apparently we have a following because Nokosee found Anastasia (not her real name) out on the Tamiami Trail last night trying to flag someone down to help her. Her Jeep had a flat tire and as Nokosee was changing it, they got to talking and it turns out she's read my books and is a big fan. She said she'd love to meet me and, after some duplicitous BS to confuse the FBI or anyone else looking for Nokosee and me, he shows up with her at the Embassy. Turns out she's a hairdresser and asked if I'd like a new doo. After she described what she had in mind, I said, "Why not?"
​
It took forever because she cuts scallops (she calls them "Mermaid scales") into the hair with a razor and then paints them different colors. You can see how I let my hair grow out on the sides since I've been doing sanctuary at the Miccosukee Embassy but you can still see a bit of my spear tats. It wouldn't be a complete makeover without a new "love paint" theme which I applied. That Purple Heart medal belonged to my father-in-law Busimanolotome Osceola, founder of the New Seminole. I only wear it as "headware" when "going out" but it's always with me as a fond memory of a great man and someone I will love forever. It's one of the few things we could find of his presence on this earth following our devastating losses against Army Rangers at the battle Rendezvous Point deep in the Everglades. I think he would have liked the look but as Nokosee said, he probably would have gone with a camo pattern which would have come in handy in the Everglades. Maybe next time. 

BTW, Haalie loves it!
