Corporate Events: Nissan and AVP |
Nissan Corporation was a sponsor
of the AVP professional volleyball tournaments. Henna Caravan artists were
hired to apply free henna for anyone and everyone who dropped by the Nissan
booth at the tournaments in Santa Barbara, Manhattan Beach, and Las Vegas.

It was great applying
henna at the beach. There was no worry about pinning up shirts or rolling
up jeans. Everyone was ready to be hennaed up in their beachwear! Just
one problem ... No pockets for our directions. |
Surrounded by cars,
umbrellas and volleyball players we went to work applying henna patterns
on the never ending line of bikini clad sun worshippers.
|
In
Santa Barbara, volleyball courts were spread up and down the beach for
competition over several days. Nissan set up a booth between the courts
and brought in cars, beach umbrellas, music, and lounge chairs for the
tired spectators to relax on. |

Claire, one of our
fabulously talented henna artists, is applying a dragonfly to the shoulder
using a squeeze bottle and metal tip. Not to worry, the tip never actually
touches the skin. Henna is perfect for needlephobes! It's painless, fun,
and temporary.

Everyone
thought it would be an easy and relaxing day working on the beach. But,
to our dismay, the sand completely took over. It got absolutely everywhere!
It squished between our toes, flew into the henna, and found its way into
our lunch. |

Before the volleyball
tournaments began, we had the opportunity to apply henna for the corporate
employees of Nissan Corporation. They sure do love their product, this
man has the symbol for the new Nissan Z on his arm. |

The volleyball tournaments
at Manhattan beach were absolutely huge. The stadium bleachers were overflowing
with spectators who spent the weekend cheering for their teams by whacking
together inflatable yellow french fries that reverberated with a thwack!!! |
