In reply to: Real henna is awesome... posted by Nikki on July 23, 2001 at 20:09:21:

Glad you found us! I hope you can have real henna done soon, by
someone who's a good artist. If you are in Seattle ever look up
Gilded Lilies, and if in New York check out Maison Kenzi (ok shameless
plugs I know!)
Just keep in mind that PPD is *not* henna, and *not* a tattoo. If you
think of it in its more traditional context, on hands and feet, lacy,
earthy colors, it helps "distance" it from the idea of a"fake tattoo",
which is what started the mess in the first place.
Any real henna artists out there near Myrtle Beach and can go shut
these idiots down?

Gilded Lilies
