The  Beiging  of America

That's Beiging, not Binging. Although much of America may be binging on beiging as this book and others suggest. The Beiging of America comes out this month and is inspired by a 2009 The Atlantic article by cultural critic/scholar Hua Hsu titled "The End of White America." My Native American bad boy/half-breed/he-man husband  Nokosee, already a mixture of Seminole and Cuban, is the father of our little girl Haalie. I like to think she got the best of both parents' gene pools. That picture of her was taken when she was trying to look like her mom on one of mom's "Let's be New Seminoles!" days at the Miccosukee Embassy. That "mood paint" followed the real tears down her chubby little cheeks after she started crying when I got some of the face paint in her eyes. I made the mistake of following the tracks of her tears with face paint which made her cry even more because she didn't like being thought of as a cry baby. Even after showing her a chief with something that looked like tears, she hated them. Anyway, before washing them off, I took that picture-- which she hates with equal passion. Hopefully she will be accepted better than I have been by many of the pure members of the 500 Nations because it ain't easy being blue and blonde in a brown and black world. I suspect she'll do okay though because “the times they are a changin'" and she's got her ma and pa's mojo.
