Fire Throat and Body Art




I wasted a self medicated sick day today :( It looks terrible not to show up the day before a holiday, but really and truly my throat's on fire. Trying not to spend the day feeling guilty (jewish) about the absence, I did what any other art teacher would do...body art! Ever since my trip to Morocco, this past summer, I am completely in love with henna. My supplies are sparse so I used what I had on my bedside- a green felt tip marker.

Now you all know what to gift me.

  1. we actually did henna in one of my classes as a last week of class fun time in my identity and culture class.. it was a huge hit though the color didn't last long on my students because they couldn't keep it on for hours, but they did have fun. you can get it fairly cheap down at a place on the lower east side-ish... like 12th and 1st or something... yelp-it!
