: count about half a dozen in a few blocks' space. I talked to 3 of

I
: really pissed off, because there were some people on the sidewalk
: looking at the pictures of the designs in his window, and I told
them
: all about BH. I explained about the dangers, and then I told them
: about real henna, and then (this REALLY pissed him off) I told them
: that there was a real henna artist two stores down.
:
: There was all of ONE store in OC that did real henna (the BH
slingers
: didn't even offer it as an option!). I was attracted by the "Real
: Henna is NOT BLACK!" sign in the window, and the pictures of
: beautiful, red-brown designs. I ended up talking to him for an
: hour! I spread the Good News About Terps, and he was quite
grateful,
: and I pointed him here, and to CCJ's website, and several good
things
: to print out about BH.
:
: So I had this vision of several of us taking a weekend vacation to
: Ocean City next summer. In this vision, we all get tee-shirts that
: say something about BH being dangerous, and real henna being
totally
: safe and gorgeous, and parading ourselves about the boardwalk with
: pamphlets! Anybody want to join me?
