Loofah
Mexico City
6" diameter

Scratch Scratch me back. Scratch Scratch me back. It really is a fact, the less I itch the more I scratch. (“Scratch Scratch” by Harry Belafonte ad Irving Burgie http://www.akh.se/harbel/lyrics/scratch_scratch.htm) All right, now you could run down to Rite-Aid or the BIG K or any of those handy shops and buy something that will essentially do the same as this loofa. But will it be as basic and pure and natural? And will it have a hole in the middle for hanging it? And the essential question here, was it bought directly from the maker and dragged back by hand from a market in downtown Mexico City by two nice kids from New York or was it shipped by the 1,000’s in a container from some sweatshop in some unknown land. I’ll let you decide which seems more interesting. Roll with it….
