Today the women who cleans our house here, told me she was going to a church birthday tonight. So she asked if she could change into her Saree in my room. She comes most days and afterwards goes home, but today she needed to go from here to the church.I told her, "Of course." She came and got ready for the evening as I watched every step. I was really hoping I could learn how to put a Saree on...no success. She brushed her hair out that is all the way to her thigh! She combs and combs. Then she puts her Saree on. Fabric after fabric wrapped around in such a way it looks stunning. Then she asked if I had face wash, and lotion. She said she likes my skin. lovely lovely.
After wards she braided her hair, and wanted to use my power. I try to explain I only had bronzer. We laughed as she showed me her powered that makes her skin lighter, and mine makes mine darker. That is the interesting part. They want to lighten their skin and we are trying to darken ours. She was all done and said, "Finished". I took a couple pictures so you could all see the finished product. It was a really fun experience!
