Hair jewelry. That’s the only word I have for this. I got it when I was maybe 16. Wore it everywhere, claimed it was a satellite dish that let me communicate with people from the stars who had left me on earth to observe humans. Did not get many sanity points for that part of my fantasy world… but it was always just a fantasy world for me, and people who think that having been a confused and heavily abused sixteen-year-old, and acting like one, makes me a crappy person can shove it where the sun don’t shine. Anyway, I haven’t worn it in years, and I took it out and it’s rather beautiful. I can’t see wearing it in many contexts these days, especially since I’m trying just a little bit to blend in. But I can still wear it in private and think it looks cool. For those using screenreaders, I’ll try to describe this thing: There’s a heavy chainmail band that goes around my head. It has thinner necklace-chain stuff coming off of that in different patterns. On my forehead are three silver necklace-chains with red beads on them. And going to the top of my head, and down the back of my hair (it doesn’t come close to reaching the bottom of my hair at this point) is an elaborate pattern of necklace-chains and dark red beads. The dark red beads all have shiny parts that shine in different colors. And this is all against the backdrop of pale skin and long hair that’s somewhere between very dark brown and black depending on the lighting. The picture itself shows me from both the back and the front, due to being taken in front of a mirror.
