    Wow, what a colossal waste of time. It makes for an entertaining blog post though. I can’t imagine giving up my standing appt for hair color for at-home henna. I’ll stick with my chemicals.

    That henna art is ridiculous. I met a henna artist at a party in Michigan over the summer and she drew a design on my hand. It was so beautiful, it made me sad to watch it fade away.

    I’ve got the PERFECT and MOST amazing henna artist chick for you when you come to India!!!

    Sorry about the stench … can’t imagine it on my hair for an hour and 45 minutes … I kind of like the smell when I get my hands/feet done though …
