I am back in the land of Guanyin these days. While doing an image search I was reminded of this. Enjoy!

  1. Brilliant. The genius of those finger extensions is in how they disguise imperfections and then create pattern. It’s not unlike a the flower petals on a chrysanthemum or a birds wing. And I love the “charo” pants!

    • The thing I forgot to mention is that these performers are all deaf or hearing impaired – I think that might explain some of the gorgeous nuance of this piece. They look other worldly because they experience in a different (perhaps more sensitive) way?

      And oh yeah, Charo baby indeed. I want the pointy finger things.
