I don't really think that you can call something like henna, with all
of the centuries of history behind it, a fad a la stonewashed jeans.
The guy who said that to you is obviously ignorant of the rich
tradions behind what we do as henna artists.
Sorry if I am feeling a little philosophic about henna a the moment,
but Darlahood and I got together and hennaed each other last night,
and its been so long since I have been on the receiving end of a Jac
bottle that I am still a little giddy with having designs on *both*
my hands! (see darla's post further down the page for more of the
story...)

happy and henna'd-

: Greetings,
: Since I moved far away from my friends and former clients last
year,
: I have been spending some time thinking how to get new friends and
: new clients where I now live. I don't mind driving an hour or so
for
: Mehendi, but 3 hours to go back 'home' (where I used to live) is
just
: too dang far.
: While doing a bit of telephone networking today, against my better
: judgements I called ONE tattoo parlour and inquired about the need
: for a Mehendi artist...only to be told that it was a passing fad
and
: over a year ago!!! ROFL! Now mind you the man back home who used
to
: do my tattoo's was always friendly and willing to throw some
business
: my way.
: I just thought you would all like to know that we are/were a
passing
: fad...hehe.
: If the fad is over...why do we all have people who want this done?
: Now I am going back to banging my head on the desk!
