The mention of indigo in another case is equally intriguing. By the way, wax on the skin need not be painful; it depends on the melting point of the particular wax being used.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769195549756992079.post-57833474004306102502014-02-06T02:33:34.348+02:002014-02-06T02:33:34.348+02:00What a wonderfully researched piece.

We have a sizable Yemeni Jewish community in the San Francisco area.

The big headdress is called a tishbuk-lulu, and it is actually intended to turn the bride into a giant triangle, essentially — it helps deflect the evil eye on her big day.<br /><br />Rachel — I'm so sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with henna!
