In reply to: Notes on last night's gig (long) posted by Nick on August 24, 2001 at 14:53:26:

i'm so glad people post they're experiences like this. i dont always
have anything productive to add, but i do love hearing about other
people's henna adventures. of course the Rev. Bunny's are hilarious
to read about in her diaries, and in general i just get a kick out of
sharing mutual experiences.

i had a great mini-gig last night, a boyfriend wanted to suprise his
sweetheart for her birthday and had me over to the house to henna her
up with the royal treatment. she had no idea what he was up to, but
he had to ask her a few questions regarding allergies (remember my
eczema post? yeah that girl) and threw her a few red herrings during
the course of the week like, "how long has it been since your last
malaria shot? last tetanus?" i laughed so much when they told me
this. She said she knew someone was coming to the house, and they
were trying to arrange for their 13-yr-old to stay at his dad's, so
she halfway wondered if he had gotten her an exotic dancer! LMAO at
that! I told them i was a dancer, and i WAS there for entertainment,
but theres no way in HELL i'm that kinda entertaining.

after taking a good long look at the design books -- i love that,
when they take the time, dont RUSH, and really just enjoy the whole
process of being mehndi'ed -- she chose several (foot, toes, ankle,
hand and fingers) Liisa-inspired works that came out just lovely. I
make it a point to tell people, espeically for personal home
appointments, that im there to create an atmosphere where they can
feel free to kick back, relax for a while and enjoy having nothing to
do but indulging herself in body decoration. she loved that, and even
got her boyfriend to feed her grapes while she sat being henna-
adorned. shoulda seen her grinning when i left a few hours later.

p.s. i hope that once Jeremy is fully recovered and finds the time to
put together an e-zine that there could be a regular column or
section just for swapping tales like this.
