half-african princess, storm goddess

Every time I've dyed my hair while living in East Africa -- given the limited options for "blonde" sold in stores, and by stores, I mean Nakumatt -- I end up looking like Storm from X-men, who is actually half-American and half-Kenyan!!! And for some reason, at first its really embarrassing, because even though I look relatively the same, I feel so... different, but then at some point, I still feel different, but it feels really badass...
