: Don't do the mistake of all the henna artists in the past
centuries
: that let it become dust until we've come to revive it!

...about your comment up there <points> and it struck me: what a
totally egocentric white male f***ing attitude.

That's the same friggin' attitude that all those turn of the century
anthropological researchers from England had, I'd bet; "there's no
books on it so it must be an almost-dead art and we'd better breathe
some life into it", right? Bah. That screwed lace history up one
side and down the other.

Tribal designs do not a mehandi artist make.

Damn friggin' right I'm sexist. I'm a bigot, too, because I don't
care for people who tell kick-ass artists to sell out, and I support
terrorism because I buy secondhand jewelry from Afghanistan. Phbbt.

My sincerest apologies to all the wonderful regulars and new people
on here; I've been suffering with gryphoemia since I read this punk
kid's remarks last night and I finally had to vent. Spending money
didn't work. *lol*
