Not everyone...Ah, Travis, what will we do with you? Not everyone looks good a la natural. Some people (male and female) need to pluck stray eyebrows. Those wirey ones that stick out at odd angles and wave in a nonexistent breeze remind me of spiders and that's just too scary. It's kind of like men with long nose hairs. Just cut them! Women know it takes an awful lot of work to look "naturally beautiful." And you guys are worth it, but only because we are, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-55999232237964897532007-10-10T15:24:00.000-05:002007-10-10T15:24:00.000-05:00Nothing wrong with a nice neat brow (or two).

One should not completely do away with their eyebrows ala Whoopi Goldberg, and then attempt to draw them back on. It will never look right.<BR/><BR/>Most women need to pluck a little bit though, just to make the shape nice and give it a nice little arch.

I have heard the fashion started in Europe 'round about Elizabeth I's time, when peasants were thought to be "low brow" and aristocracy was thought to be "high brow"--literally. <BR/><BR/>They believed well-bred people had fine, high eyebrows and commoners had coarse, low brows. Thus, well-born ladies started plucking their eyebrows out and drawing them in nice and high and thin. <BR/><BR/>As far as unattainable standards of beauty go, I suppose it's a lot less ridiculous than going under the knife to look like Barbie.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-19412797935491675432007-10-09T19:06:00.000-05:002007-10-09T19:06:00.000-05:00Hm..

One because nature gave her nonexistent ones and the other because she lost them to cancer. My friend doesn't draw hers in anymore, she gets them tatooed on. TATTOO of eyebrows - yes OW! But it stays on longer and then she goes to refresh it when it starts fading. The other draws her on and let me tell you it is very disconcerting to see her when she forgets to draw her eyebrows in. <BR/><BR/>I also knew older women who plucked their eyebrows off and drew them in because that was the style way back when (think Lana Turner) and they never grew in after constantly plucking it off.Ello - Ellen Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311917335471167591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-19003779053912903442007-10-09T15:14:00.000-05:002007-10-09T15:14:00.000-05:00Ah yes, the drawn-in eyebrows.

There's always some lady who's drawn them in super high so they have this constant look of surprise on their face. You just know that at some point they reached this point of no return and had to pull out the pencil.Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548756094548116973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-25237225438084178392007-10-09T15:05:00.000-05:002007-10-09T15:05:00.000-05:00Good God.

I will miss it.<BR/><BR/>I think overplucked eyebrows look ridiculous. Scary, even.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of the unibrow, In college, I had a boyfriend whose frat brothers bet him that I wouldn't let him grow out his unibrow. When he told me that, I thought they were crazy - I wasn't that controlling, crazy girlfriend they'd pegged me for. But after that puppy grew in, I couldn't take it anymore, and I explained that it HAD TO GO. He eventually caved and changed the unibrow to two separate brows. We broke up shortly afterwards.Monnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998729112903749621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-50692965299045113252007-10-09T15:03:00.000-05:002007-10-09T15:03:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Monnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998729112903749621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-47362287159705499592007-10-09T14:46:00.000-05:002007-10-09T14:46:00.000-05:00Oh man, Shauna, that one eyebrow thing on a guy is...Oh man, Shauna, that one eyebrow thing on a guy is almost creepy. *shudder* I need a guy to have two eyebrows. <BR/><BR/>Trav...I really think your next one needs to be about back or butt hair because I totally don't get that on a guy either. :)preTzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536465579225240434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-31046671264546922642007-10-09T14:39:00.000-05:002007-10-09T14:39:00.000-05:00LOL!

However, I do pluck the strays. I think nicely shaped, <I>real</I> eyebrows can enhance one's eyes and give them a clean look. And I agree with pretzel that <I>two</I> are definitely better than one.

I do try to keep them as a set instead of one long critter because two caterpillars is always better than one in my opinion. Do you know what it feels like to pluck them? It hurts! Like shoving roofing nails under your fingernails hurts. I don't get it. *shrug* I'm also not a girly - girl either so maybe that is what is wrong with me. <BR/><BR/>And let me tell you - we used to have this rental property and the female renter shaved (yes, shaved) her brows and then would draw them back on. (Go figure.) One night the water pipe had broke so we went over to turn the water off so until the plumber could get there in the morning. She answered the door with one brow on and one off. I laughed so freaking hard. She was perlexed and the one that was painted on kept going UP and down and that made me laugh even harder. Mr. preTzel made me go back to the car. Bummer.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to read the responses from the girly - girls to see why they torture...err, pretty themselves up that way. :)preTzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536465579225240434noreply@blogger.com
