comments from strangers

Posted by mimi on October 27, 1999 at 04:30:15:

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with those certain
individuals that like to make comments on henna? Over the past two
days since I applied my henna and had it work (thanks again everyone)
I have had more rude comments than I can handle. At first they didn't
bother me, but now I am starting to feel bad. How many times can you
hear, "What is wrong with your hand?" or "My God, what in the world
did you do to yourself?" and not feel upset? I love doing henna and
am proud wearing it, but I don't know how to field these questions
without getting upset or acting defensive. Any ideas?
P.S. Love the ideas for sifting the powder...can't wait to try them
out! Thanks everybody for all of your help so far.
