The Boogeyman's Threads

Bugis weavers from Sulawesi show their wares:



The Bugis people were once known as fierce warriors and pirates who sailed the seas of Southeast Asia. In fact, the word "Boogeyman" - used in the west to scare kids - is said to have originated from "Bugis man".

I wonder if they know that. Can you imagine these ladies jumping out from a kid's cabinet???
