This last weekend, I was in Ocean City, MD, with my hubby and in-
laws, and I was amazed (even now) to see just how many BH slingers
there were. I didn't have much time to myself, but I managed to
count about half a dozen in a few blocks' space. I talked to 3 of
them, and they all said the same thing "I don't care." One of them I
really pissed off, because there were some people on the sidewalk
looking at the pictures of the designs in his window, and I told them
all about BH. I explained about the dangers, and then I told them
about real henna, and then (this REALLY pissed him off) I told them
that there was a real henna artist two stores down.

There was all of ONE store in OC that did real henna (the BH slingers
didn't even offer it as an option!). I was attracted by the "Real
Henna is NOT BLACK!" sign in the window, and the pictures of
beautiful, red-brown designs. I ended up talking to him for an
hour! I spread the Good News About Terps, and he was quite grateful,
and I pointed him here, and to CCJ's website, and several good things
to print out about BH.

So I had this vision of several of us taking a weekend vacation to
Ocean City next summer. In this vision, we all get tee-shirts that
say something about BH being dangerous, and real henna being totally
safe and gorgeous, and parading ourselves about the boardwalk with
pamphlets! Anybody want to join me?
