hairdressing wedding ritual was
originally supposed to represent
and look like what?
a) A feudal look
b) An unwrapped gift

ANSWER:
a) Not really.
b) Not quite. If
you like unwrapping gifts, wait
for Christmas.
c) Naw, a dragon
is the masculine figure in legend.

Phoenix is always associated with
females. The red ancient head-dresses
were made to look like a fire-bird
Phoenix to bring out the female
energy and help the "union".

people are the descendants of a
Dragon baba and a Phoenix mama.
e) Nope, only in
the shower.
