Your mission, should you wish to accept it, is to locate the necklace worn in the picture.
This necklace was hand carved in Turkey from black Obsidian stone which the artist dived to the sea bed for. The pendant is diamond shaped with a Leo lion etched into the front and the name ‘Lindsey’ etched into the reverse side. It is strung on a single piece of black cotton thong and looks bigger on the rather petite Lindsey in the picture.
The necklace was last seen inside the front compartment of handbag whilst in the St. James Centre and has never been seen since. The monetary value of the necklace is around £3 and therefore its likely to be lying around town somewhere.
Lindsey’s partner wears a matching necklace and the stones must be reunited. To reiterate, THIS MUST BE FOUND & WILL BE FOUND.
Please look for this wherever you go. There will be an *extremely high reward* for its return and a hero’s welcome for the finder.
*Good things happen to good people*
This message will self destruct when necklace is found.

Why all the heavy eyeliner?
This is something which has now grown synonymous with bellydancing and the middle east.
The oldest recordings of ‘eyeliner’ being worn are back in the days of Ancient Egypt. It was worn by both men and women and was, of course, organic! Embers are believed to have been taken from an extinguished fire and applied to the upper and particularly the lower eyelids. This served many purposes; in the sun the sand of the desserts were blindingly bright and the application of black kohl adsorbed this light thus protecting the retina from burning. Kohl is believed to have repelled sand qnats, a member of the Ceratopogonidae or “midge” family from the eyes… ewh! Kohl was also seen in later years of ancient Egypt as a status symbol and something of beauty.
