Yeh, just a local station doing the weather, local news and morning
soft stuff in the affiliate breaks in the CBS (I think) morning show.
The fellow, a Regis Filbin clone, and bless his heart for going to my
website and being properly prepared for the interview, did a nice job!
But, he thought he'd try to get clever. I hennaed 3 women live on
camera (at 5:45 am this is #$%^& miraculous) and he decided to hold up
his little finger and tell the camera, joking about how he might
indulge this "way-out women's thing", that he would have his little
finger hennaed. In my best erudite manner, and NPR voice, I
complimented him on his choice, and said "It was traditional in many
countries for the groom to henna his little finger on his night of the
henna, as the bride was hennaed, for luck, for blessing, and to show a
sort of bond with his hennaed bride,..." as I put my arm over his
shoulder, and locked eye contact on as he looked proudly at his
extended finger, and felt extremely clever ...and I continued "and
thus the groom had his bright red hennaed lucky little finger ...
looking distinctly Freudian!" He started to smile, but then froze. And
blushed. I think his finger wilted. The camera cut back to the
morning news.
