Weird Fashions
H
ow would you describe your fashion sense? Are you a punk with piercings? A Goth with lots of long black clothes? Grunge? Or are you a square who happily lets your parents buy your clothes? The way people dress is how they show both their individuality and their membership of a group. And however strange you may or may not look, believe me, there are some much weirder styles out there.
New Zealand People all over the world get tattooed. Usually it is a hidden butterfly on the ankle or a Chinese symbol on the arm. Sometimes people like to cover their whole body with them. However the face is usually left empty of tattoos as they could make it difficult to get a job. Not for the Maoris in New Zealand. They considered the head as the most sacred place on the body. Starting from puberty boys’ faces were often tattooed to show their family, their history and their ranking in the tribe. The more tattoos a man had on his face the more important he was. Traditionally a man with no tattoos was of no importance. Girls were also tattooed but only around the mouth and nose. Some Maoris continue this tradition today altough it has declined in popularity.

Myanmar The Padaung tribe in the jungles in Myanmar considers the neck the most attractive part of the woman’s body. They also think that the longer the neck the more attractive it is. At the age of five, females have their first neck ring. As they grow up more rings are added. These are to stretch the neck so that it becomes as long as possible. A fully-grown woman will have about twenty rings, making their neck about thirty centimetres long. The rings show not only how sexy the woman is but also how rich her family is. Unfortunately, the rings are very difficult to remove because the neck can’t support the weight of the head. They also have to drink through a straw as tipping their heads back to drink makes them fall over!
