: Dear Talia,
:
: You seem to be continuing to have problems with real, natural
henna.
: I honestly can't understand why it's been such an unpleasant
: experience for you. Henna is about beauty and relaxation, first
and
: foremost. If you're not having that experience, something's
: desperately wrong. It sounds like you need to look inside
yourself,
: find out what's motivating you.
: Henna should work well WITHOUT using toxins...it's worked for seven
to
: nine thousand years on millions of people! PLEASE DON'T USE TOXIC
: CHEMICALS!
: If you don't like the smell and the color of henna, if you aren't
: enjoying your henna experience, why not move to face painting or
: something? Why are you doing something that is causing you so much
: frustration? I would rather see you give up on henna entirely than
: put poison on your skin or on anyone else's. I feel about paint
: thinner almost as strongly as about PPD - it's just BAD for you.
Ask
: a doctor, if you don't believe people on this forum. If I saw a
: "henna artist" using paint thinner at a festival, you can BET I'd
get
: her shut down.
: As for calling people "hippies" - you know, I get that a lot for
being
: into eating well, exercising, or avoiding toxic chemicals or caring
: about the environment. When I hear that all I can think is,
whoever's
: saying that has absolutely no idea what they're talking about and
: probably watches too much TV. No offense, but you're *way* off
base.
: I hate the Grateful Dead and tiedye. I hang out with a lot of
vegan
: punk kids. I'm into martial arts and german industrial music. And
I
: DON'T have to justify my care and compassion about how we are
: currently treating our bodies and our planet to ANYONE.
: For your sake, the sake of the aquatic life downstream of whereever
: your sewage water flows, and for the sake of everyone who cares
about
: you, STOP PUTTING PAINT THINNER ON YOUR SKIN!
:
: peace,
