Fair enough. I have a friend in the US who is a Mohawk. I must have a
chat with her about this.

Mind ewe, there was a processional event I used to participate in and I
always fancied gelling my existing hair up into coloured spikes like
that. On another occasion I would have gone as the Archbishop of
Canterbury if I'd been able to get a mitre. It was a church related
event and at the time I bore a notable resemblance to the AoC at the
time. (Rowan Willums?) Not sure how that would have gone down though?
- but I am not a religious person so wtf :-)
