Foot Fetish
Traditionally henna is used on the hands and the feet; this tradition probably developed when it was discovered the the color takes best and lasts longer on the thick skin of the feet and hands. In addition, in many of the countries where henna is used women often dress in clothes that show little more than their faces, hands and feet, and so much effort is put into adorning these parts. The dark rich color that shows up on hands and feet as well as the way designs can be made to fit and enhance the extremities make these designs a joy to execute. Elaborate or simple, designs on the hands and feet call attention to one's gestures and movements and permeate one's being with an exotic sophistication.
