I came home from the Edmonton Temple today and saw these feet on the living room floor. I asked the girl who owns them if I could take a picture so you could be as impressed as I was. The girl is an artist who is busy with a professional career in Calgary and she is just home for the weekend visiting her Mom. If you remember the pictures of me looking very tired, the blue and green striped wall she designed and painted. And you can see a bit of her lighthouse painting in the picture behind me on the posting just before this one. I know she is going to be adored for her art by the masses. The historical pattern dictates that she will never be able to personally benefit financially from becoming known as one our Greats.
She may, however, be able to thwart the statics "which have been put down for our guidance" (as we learn from the play The Importance of Being Ernest) by using henna. She can garner $100 a client!
This angel has offered me a weekend apprenticeship! So I can offer it as a service in my spa! The people that use henna religiously or traditionally will be able to benefit from my knowledge and skill, my friends and family that I buy Christmas presents for will benefit, and anyone else who wants pretty pictures painted on them but are afraid of needles, HIV, or Tattoo Artists.
So what about you guys? See anything interesting you want to tell us about? Did Halloween have any interesting sights where you were?

I love the natural henna answer to the desire to decorate the body. It makes me feel hopeful, like maybe there's a cure for the common cold. (Actually CBC Radio 1 said that they have discovered it, but I had to turn off the radio before I found out what the cure was.)Does it wash off quite easily or just wear off, like a henna hair rinse?
I did notice the lighthouse in the back and was going to ask you about it. I have one that looks almost the same. From what I understand Henna stains the skin so it will wear off as your skin sheds but still lasts some time, is this true?
I would not be opposed to having a alchemical transmutation sign on my left arm. Might come in Handy. If you get it then you are laughing if you don't then I am laughing at you. Just kidding, you would be looking at me funny wondering if I lost my mind recently, no I lost it quite some time ago.
You guys are the best! So Kevin answered Mom's question about henna washing off. In the picture my friend has yet to wash her feet from the henna mask that will leave the stain.
And I sure wish I knew what you were laughing about Kevin. Alchemical transmutation...please explain!
