There are so many scumbags on Venice Beach in LA using black henna
EXCLUSIVELY and people are just eating it up. Nobody that I saw when
we were there (and this was awhile ago) was even using natural henna,
because as many of the festival vendors here know, it's hard to hold
a candle to he bold look of black henna w/brown. I went OFF on a
bunch of these men and women who were using this black product, and I
know for a FACT that they don't know what's in their product. I
talked to several of them, because I had henna all over my hands, and
told them about some of the dangers. They don't care you guys. It's
QUICK and easy money for them. They get to work outside at the beach
in California, instead of in an office building, they are gonna do
whatever it takes to make a buck.

There has to be someone who runs the businesses on Venice Beach, at
least the ones who are actually in physical shelters. I believe you
can just go down to Venice Beach and sell anything on the "sand" side
of the boardwalk without any kind of certification or rent of
anykind. Go figure. But it might be smart to figure out how one
would acquire a booth on Venice Beach to get to the companies that
are leasing the space. Maybe they can do something about it. More
likely it's a BIG business who isn't going to really care about the
well being of people...but more worried about getting rent from their
tennants.
