When we visited Chellah a necropolis and complex of ancient and medieval ruins near Rabat in Morocco there were two Ladies turning around the female tourists.

My friend discretely washed it off when the ladies had disappeared, she really didn't like this sh... like color !

But a little girl was very proud of the result !
I could have done that!
ReplyDeleteI thought she was paying for a sit-down job, you know, where the henna looks like lace gloves from fingers to elbows, including palms.
I once bought some henna paste, because my friends had a nightclub stall where there was space to do henna tattooing (and it was that sort of party: full of hippies with eyes like saucers!) ~ but none of us could get it to apply well enough. The stuff was too weak, and you needed a finer applicator to put on really intricate designs...
I posted up Morocco today. There was a royal garden I went to behind the palace in Rabat. It cost a few dirham to get in. Did you go there? I think it might be called Chellah Gardens... whatever, it was amazing ;-0
PS 2 answer your question, yes I do have use of a computer now, without constantly going down the cybercaff. Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteThe Indians do it too. So far noboy has asked if I wanted it. I have many Indian girl friends.
ReplyDeleteI understand the little girl was happy!!! And of course I understand very well your friend who didn't like it!!! I show a woman in the street last time, she had one on the hand and I remember I didn't like it!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy post is up! I run after the time since the house is full and I am not on vacation!!! But I am on a little cloud with my daughter at home!
After you wash it off the stain is supposed to stay for a while. We have mothers from our school kids come and do it for free on Harmony Day. I think your friend might have been ripped off.
ReplyDeleteI would like to get a henna tattoo. It's nice that they wash off with time. Some women do some very beautiful work.
ReplyDeletevery informative post!

ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Some awards on lower button of the post...Take good care.
It was nice of your friend to support local trades women. I hope they don't read this post!! Hehehe
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe it was the henna tattoos, where they DO wash it off after a little while - but the stain remains on the skin. Everywhere you go there is someone selling SOME KIND of gimmick, isn't there?
