That is a bit of a puzzler, unless you were vigorously masturbating at the time or making gurgling sounds or something.
That’s like hosting an art exhibit and hanging sheets over the paintings.

The super cool thing about drawing on your eyebrows is that you can be any mood you want all day long!

and all sorts of others I can’t type. Plus, you can make yourself look Vulcan or Romulan very easily.
At the Bel Loc Diner in Baltimore (where the waitresses, like life, were nasty, brutish and short), there was a cashier who would shave off her eyebrows, draw in new, Dietrich-arched ones, then forget to keep shaving. So she had four eyebrows.
Maybe she did it so we’d be so mesmerized we’d forget to count our change.
Eve, I now have a coffee-coated monitor, thanks to you! Thanks for the laugh!
I guess I missed the boat on eyebrow waxing. I usually just break out the hand mirror and tweezers about once a month. My eyebrows aren’t that heavy, though.
OMG! Oops. BWAAHAHAhahahahaha
That’ll teach my husband to log me out of the home computer without telling me!
For the record, Stonebow does have very shapely brows for a guy ;), and that was me speaking above.

Let me just slide in here and do a drive-by pitting of women who wear t-shirts with slogans emblazoned across their breasts and then get angry at anyone who tries to read the slogan. Just put the t-shirt on backwards, okay?
A woman where I used to work not only had no eyebrows, she had horrible, wrong-colored eyebrows tattooed in the vague location where her brows were supposed to be. No eyebrow pencil for her, oh no, she had 'em for life. Damn, it was a struggle to keep from staring at those otherworldly phenomena every time I went up there…
Growing up, my eyebrow was a raging disaster (not really, actually, but that’s how it looked to me). First I shaved the damn thing up the middle, then started plucking. Yuck. I cry way too easily for that.
So now I wax. Yowchy but worth every penny I give my nail girl to do it for me! I pluck them in between waxings for upkeep.
But my worst moment? Someone was waxing my eyebrows and asked if I wanted her to take care of the moustache. :eek: I do now, bitch!
PS- I love David Hemmings’ eyebrows! And God damn! That young vampire was him? Sweet!
Man, what about those girls who do the dark lipliner with pale lipstick? Ugh.
(I just got a big makeup set for Christmas that I have no idea how to use, but at least I know not to do that.)
Well, that’s it. I’m never going to worry about the state of my eyebrows again. The fact that there apparently exists at least one woman in this world who not only isn’t repulsed by those hairy wings on Hemmings’ forehead but actually says she “loves” them is enough to make me put my tweezers away permanently.
Rent Blow-Up. Sure, he looks good, but you won’t like the way he treats the women in that movie…
I have a bushy black unibrows if I don’t take care of them. Why do I get them threaded? For the same reason guys wear goatees - to make people think I am a hard core badass!
Wait, no. Seriously, I have light coloring inherited from my mom and my thick dark eyebrows are pretty much the only part of my appearance I inherited from my (much darker) dad. They look kind of out of place. I get my eyebrows threaded because I think I look better. It’s that simple.
Someone whose drawn-on eyebrows worked: Groucho Marx.
And then there’s poor David Ferrie.
To be fair, Ferrie supposedly had a really nasty case of alopecia (in his case, total loss of body hair) which led to his use of bizarrely awful false eyebrows. I think he fell a bit short of the debonair look.
A lady I work with has a friend who specializes in makeup tatooing. They throw tatoo parties every so often. Am I the only one who finds permanent makeup to be a little odd?
I remember my mother had some things to say about Annette being scary because of these…
My eyebrows are not my best feature. I pluck them, but only to stop them merging in the middle or with my eyelashes, really, they’re that bad when left alone.
I make no attempt to shape them apart from that, as I’ve only ever be able to make them look satisfactory once; it took an hour and grew back 2 days later…and irishfella couldn’t tell the difference.
I cannot aford to have them waxed as regularly as I would need to, and I don’t trust myself to wax them at home. I pluck every day, and have no feeling left in most of that skin, but it’s just something that needs done.
(The shaved and drawn look is never good, but I’ve been sorely tempted, just to make my life easier.)
I am so lucky my brows are thin and shapely enough that they only need the occasional tweezing.
The only time I’ve ever seen the penciled in eyebrows were on old ladies in church. It always looked so fucking gross. It didn’t even look good when it was in style in the forties-I thought Greta Garbo looked much better with her natural brows.
I always thought this quote from Stanislav Szukalski was interesting:
No, but believe it or don’t, even for those of us with teensy tinesy hardly there eyebrows, having them neatly shaped, and the 3 hairs that clutter the brows BELOW the actual browline taken off, well it REALLY opens up your eyes and makes them brighter, prettier and more noticeable.
My eyes are my worst feature, so I’ll do anything to give them a leg up.
