Eyebrows
I've decided that it's time I take my eyebrows a little more seriously. I've seen all the shows about how eyebrows should be considered an accessory to your face. Well, mine aren't.

I've had every version of eyebrow possible. These are my son's eyebrows (pick a son- doesn’t matter which- they both have my furry eyebrows):


Guess where they got them from?


I shaved the tops of my eyebrows when I was in junior high, before I learned about the fine art of plucking. That, my friends, was NOT a good look. I wish I had a picture to share with you. Well, maybe not.

In high school, I had the tadpole thing going on:


I had almost the perfect brow here in my wedding announcement pictures (ignore the photoshopped ex-husband- tee hee):


But I still can see some arguments for less plucking in that picture. There's still a bit too much "tadpole brow" going on.

In the last few years, I've gone a little overboard with tweezing my brows. You women will know what I'm talking about- you try to just even them up and next thing you know- you end up looking like you could be a member of the Thompson Twins band.

Growing in over-tweezed eyebrows is a PAIN. Especially for people like me who don't like clutter.

Does that give you an interesting mental image? Yeah- well mine aren't as bad as you're imagining, but still....

I've been looking for products that help make brows look better while you're waiting for the hair to grow back. This one, in particular, cracked me up:

nuBrow


Little toupees for your face that look like little caterpillars you glue on your forehead.

I'm just not that desperate, but it was good for a laugh. There's a certain family member of mine (DAD!) whom I tease about his eyebrows all the time. It's too late for a fathers day gift, but maybe Christmas would be a good time to send him these little toupees.

I'll just stick with the tried and true method of filling them in with powder and hope that I remain patient through this process.

Maybe I'll get a sign for my mirror- STAY AWAY FROM THE BROWS. Yeah, like that'll stop a bored woman with tweezers in her hand.

Since you are such a bitch with that whole scooba thing, I feel the need to fuck with you.

I have perfect eyebrows and I am not lying. I don't pluck or wax either.

I've actually had women approach me and ask who 'does' my eyebrows.

I am totally not lying.

My eyebrows are better than your eyebrows, scoobabitch.

I laughed at Miss Ann Thrope's new nickname for you: scoobabitch. hahaha!! I love the idea of getting the eyebrow toupees for Dad - it made me laugh really hard imagining how they'd look on him.

As Irish would say, I couldn't be 'arsed' to do my eyebrows. Too much work! Although I've thought about having someone do them for me. A professional job, so to speak. I like the little brow toupees. If you get them for your dad, we want photos! lol

hugs,

Wait until they start going gray. By that time you will notice that not only are they changing colors, but the texture of the hair is changing into a sort of pubic, wirey, long assed hair that makes you look sort of like an old-fashioned Wizard of Oz. Wild eyebrows. Now, I cut the tops off of them. I also experimented with dying them along with the rest of my hair, but I don't think that worked very well and I wouldn't recommend it as a good thing to do to your eyebrows.

Use a pencil or a stick to measure your brows and ensure that they are exactly the right shape and position.Use a pencil or a stick to measure your brows and ensure that they are exactly the right shape and position.
