Maori Tribe Tongues

"BUT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TRAITS OF ALL IS HUMOR. THE SCOWLS WORN BY THE DANCERS WERE WHAT IS CALLED “GRITFACE” WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL ELEMENT IN SOME FACTIONS OF THE STEPPING COMMUNITY, MEANT TO SYMBOLIZE THE INTIMIDATION OF AN OPPONENT. I CANT TAKE CREDIT FOR INVENTING IT. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A CHEERFUL EXAGGERATION THAT CAN BE FOUND IN OLD DANCES GLOBALLY LIKE THE MAORI TRIBES OR KABUKI. I THOUGHT THIS EXAGGERATED ARTIFICE WAS VERY WITTY IN ITS DISMISSAL OF STANDARD BEAUTY." Rick Owens, fashion designer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BoNmpvkavo
