Re: The link...I wish I could find it. I followed a link (don't
remember which link) that clarified which person was which. One
woman had short hair, the other long....the girl with the long hair
henna'd then used indigo. The girl with the shorter hair henna'd,
left it, and is contiplating using indigo. So sorry I'm bad at
remembering names. If I fall upon it, I'll post. Thank you for the
explanation of "smarmy". Politically speaking (off the record)
those who rejected British aid in "The War on Terror" are smarmy,
for sure. This is just my opinion, not meant to sway from the lovely
henna forum :)
