Flipping thru the channels I came across MTV’s Diary series, focusing on of course Christina Aguilera this time. I’ve seen it once before but this time I noticed something I hadn’t before. It looks like Christina has drawn on eyebrows. Did she shave her eyebrows or did she never have them to begin with? I can’t imagine why anyone would shave there eyebrows just to redraw them in after. ---

OK… I know what you are talking abour because I noticed it too… my ex-roommate had the same thing done. My ex-roommate had it done because she had really thin eyebrows but, I do not know if that is why Christina did it. Anyways what it is called is permanent make-up and they tattoo your eyebrows on. EWWWW!! my thought… hope that helps!!! ---

This page, [http://www.clotheslinejournal.com/heian.html](http://www.clotheslinejournal.com/heian.html), about the Heian era of Japan (792-1192 CE) says that > [@](#): > > Women’s make-up was also quite involved. Faces were whitened with heavy rice powder. They often shaved their eyebrows and either redrew them in a perfect arch high above the natural brow line or gave themselves “thumbprints.” To make “thumbprints,” a woman would dip her thumbs into black make-up, cross them, then press them into the forehead. This left two symmetrical smudges towards the center of the forehead. By those standards, Christina seems pretty normal. Let’s hope she never tries tooth blackening: > [@](#): > > Women also blackened their teeth, top and bottom. It was thought that the whiteness of the teeth was too reminiscent of the little white tiles used to venerate ancestors. ---

You know, a couple of my friends keep complaining about her thumbs. Something about them being at a 90 degree angle or something. They are completely disgusted by this. I didn’t see it for the longest time. When I finally did I went, “So?” Didn’t seem all that gross to me. ---

lots of gals do this. think of the pam anderson look. for one thing… when you change your hair color frequently…your brows won’t match. it’s easier to shave em off and apply whatever color your hair is ANd… women redraw their brows higher… to make their eyes look bigger and to make them look MORE AWAKE. madonna went through this phaze. ---

I think I’m going to do that. I’ll shave them off and then redraw then in the middle of my forehead, so every body will think I’m just constantly surprised at everyting I see. ---
