I have found that for events like these where you have a lot of girls(sometimes with a lot of boys) and you are there to do as many as you
can, you have to have different rules.
1. keep a list - best if you give everyone a numbered sticker or
ticket, and you call out numbers (kids can trick you and say, "yeah,
my name is Holly") - get one of the busybody kids to help you by
calling out numbers for you
2. make a separate book of simple designs - I have a book of $20 and
under designs for this purpose alone; I went through my usual book
and cut and pasted under $20 designs and then made a bunch of copies
and bound them
3. don't take smudges - remind the kids to be very very very careful
because you won't have time to fix smudges AND henna everyone else
4. bring an assitant - they can do the name/number list, aftercare,
warnings, crowd control, adult control
5. make sure you eat and drink before the gig so that your blood
sugar levels are good - do whatever else you need to maintain a good
mood
6. if you find yourself getting too upset take a break...they are
allowed so take one, if only to get a drink or a breath of fresh air
