this morning we talk about eyebrows.
now, i do my own. i have never had them waxed. it just doesn't appeal to me and now that i am out of my over-plucking youth* i seem to have a pretty good handle on the tweezers.
(*i'm serious. when i was 17 i would walk into school in the morning and my freinds would be like "hmmm...what's different about you?" and i would be like "yeah, my left eyebrow is gone")
but what i really want to know is how come i never notice that i need to pluck until there is a jungle going on above my eyes.
i am serious. last night i was brushing my teeth, looking in the mirror for my evening preening, and i was like "HOLY F". it was like two caterpillars had nested on my forehead.
and you know that kind of thing doesn't just HAPPEN over night. it takes weeks. in this case two weeks since i last took care of business the friday before Jeanne's wedding.
and i was like "Adam! how could you let me go in public like this!!!" as indignant as i am with the people at work who refuse to tell me that my tag is sticking out and i have to go in the bathroom at 3PM to finally notice it myself.
"like what?" he says. totally oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend is a caveman.
i've said it once and i will say it again. Men: They Don't Know.
anyway, luckily for once the tweezers were where i had last seen them. so i went after those brows like shears to an out of control topiary.
and i am back to christy turlington brow status...
but seriously, i should be more on top of this.
perhaps that will be my New Years Resolution.

Um, is it bad that i've never plucked my eyebrows?
I should state that they aren't hairy brooke shields creatures of legend!
I've just never felt the need...they don't grow all out of control.
I mean, they aren't gansta girl penciled in thin...but, they aren't going to sprout wings and fly away, either.
Still, i hate admitting that I haven't done it. It's like saying that you don't shave your armpits, or something. (Which i DO!)
I spent a good 20 minutes grooming my eyebrows lastnight. Tools: 2 different types of tweezers, eye-brow brush, clippers. They're in decent shape now, although they never really come out the way I want them.
And sadly, it was the most fun I've had all week.

I am similarly oblivious to my eyebrow situation till it is way out of control. Annoyingly, my Adam is just as bad - he'll never say anything... till after the problem is rectified, then I'll get the "Oh, you finally fixed your eyebrows." Grrr... boys!
Q: As a male should i be doing any plucking beyond unibrow prevention?
A. as a straight male, all plucking should cease beyond unibrow prevention. if you were a gay male, some shaping and/or waxing would be encouraged.
