:
: I'm not certain it's kosher to review a movie wherein the camera is
on
: me for nearly all of the 115 minutes (eeeeaugh)and for which I did
all
: the writing, but here's my rant on it.
:
: If you ever wanted to sit in my henna parlor or at Sirius Rising
and
: hear me talk nonstop about the traditions of henna back to the
: neolithic period ..... and every last thing I go into here is fully
: researched, backed up in four part harmony with bibliography, and
: verification in artifact and written evidence.... this vid will do
the
: job for you! Its primo henna traditions back to the source. It's
: probably be a very decent seller in your henna business!
:
: Anyone on the forum will probably want to fast forward through the
: first part about mixing, (cos you already know all that) and go
: straight to the history part. Gavin, who shot and put this
together
: seemed to think that mixing belonged at the front rather than the
: back, and it's his company .... so be it.
:
: This is NOT a professional quality video. Godolphin House doesn't
have
: that level of production company. The henna information is
absolutely
: my best, but the shooting, printing and editing .... well ... some
of
: it would make Ed Wood turn in his angora sweater. If you can deal
: with some aspects of this production eclipsing "Plan 9 from Outer
: Space" .... I think you'll like it. It'll certainly keep me
humble
: if I'm ever famous.
:
: Zimra looks lovely dancing at the beginning ... the henna on her
hands
: had a good dose of Tea Tree oil, and is gonzo dark and pretty
behind
: her zills ..... and the assortment of hennaed hands looks very
nice.
: Tell Mr, De Mille, though, that in the rest of my lifetime, I will
: probably NEVER be ready for a close-up ... the farther back that
: camera is from my face, the better I look!
:
: Last year, at Sirius Rising, I was talking with Jeremy, "Wouldn't
it
: be great if someone would shoot a proper instructional video of
these
: henna lectures", and within 24 hours, the Godolphin folks came by
and
: said, "We'd like to shoot a video of your henna lectures". The
: goddess is alive and magic is afoot! Especially with these folks.
: I've been friends with them for over a decade ..... and I always
enjoy
: visiting them.
