Kirbie393 here. BOYS BEWARE: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A COMMON INTEREST IN MALES!!! Me, I have a new, more unusual hobby. The hobby I'm talking about is mehndi (sounds as it's spelled; men-dee), sometimes called henna, which is actually the paint you use.

What is mehndi? Mehndi is a type of body art, painted on with henna, a type of paint. Mehndi is a tradition used in many cultures. Girls paint it on when they reach a certain age, or accomplish a certain thing, etc. Most girls (this is not very common in boys, from what I understand -- I can't see why though) just do it for fun. It's fun, artistic, and cute!

Have you ever seen someone wearing cute things that look like tattoos, like vines around their wrists or ankles, suns on their hands, flowers on their feet, etc.? More likely than not, that was (you guessed it) mehndi. Not permanent, and depending on what kind you buy, not completely temporary. Great, huh?

If it sounds cool, I recommend you try it out. You wouldn't believe it, but you can buy it at nearly any book store with a body art book!

This is Kirbie, over and out!
