Henna hands

There was a mendhi guy at the party I went to last night and he did me up with some little leafy designs:

The henna goes on as a paste and you have to let it dry for about 40 minutes or else it will smear and stains things. By the end of the night it had dried and flaked off, leaving the stained-on patterns. They're supposed to stay for several days. In retrospect, mendhi is kind of a weird thing to have going on at a loud, crazy, dance-type party, because of the mess factor. I am astounded and pretty proud of myself for managing to keep it off my clothes, hair, and friends.
