Which is why I don't wax...sophiaisabellaJuly 5 2005, 15:37:41 UTC
I think that the eyebrow things is painfully true, albeit explained in a most ridiculous way. I leave my mustache and that errant chin hair on for the exact same reason. Without inappropriate facial hair, who would know whether I was happy or sad?
Kidding aside, I am so sick of looking at people with that constant "shock & awe/I just waxed my eyebrows look." Everything can't be a surprise in life, but you wouldn't know that from the majority of faces I see every day. The dog peed on the carpet-- surprise! My aunt died-- surprise! I lost my job--surprise! I ate breakfast-- surprise! The Golden Girls are on 8 times a day on Lifetime--surprise!

Yes, I like to throw in Bush-isms now and again in appropriately funny ways.
And everyone wants to be Rue McClanahan... I want to be Sophia. She's everyone's favorite, and I think she still gets to play the field a little. She's also the best cook. You are welcome to join with me and some other friends to be the Golden Girls. We assume that we will outlive our husbands (based on the male/female life span averages) and then band together in a house down in Florida with a lanai and wicker furniture in the living room, having hilarious misadventures and talking about menopause.
Well, my eyebrows join in the middle (and are generally a bit out of control) if I dont do something about it, which is not that attractive a look on a girl.
I can definitely understand a bit of sculpting. What I can't understand is the motivations of those women (some of whom I'm closely related to) who pluck their eyebrows down to an inch-long, 3-hair-thick line. I mean, nobody has 3-hair-thick eyebrows. It certainly doesn't look natural. It doesn't look elegant. It doesn't look delicate. It looks exactly like you perform a painful, time-consuming task on your face every few days. Is that supposed to be the appeal? Women look at you and sigh, wishing they commanded that degree of pure masochism? Manly men look at you as a women who they could probably dominate, since you're already dominated by society?
Phew. That rant took a lot of energy. Seriously, though. What's so wrong with real-looking eyebrows?
We'll all have to whip out the measuring wheel for some make-up fun one of these nights. Seriously. People in various parts of the country, Scotland, etc--all must come over and tape-measure themselves.

The only time anyone actually had to dive for cover was when my dad set off a "jumping bug," which came after us like a rabid wolf.
I think that's the coolest part, when you have to run in terror. That's my favorite firework thing, running in terror.
with the "oval" being the only perfect kind of face. Everyone else is screwed and must use makeup to salvage anything resembling beauty
I have an octagonal face.
