Kevin, I am glad she didn’t.

And on the other hand I have noticed that the outside edges of my eyebrows are growing long and are defying gravity. Nothing my electric razor can’t……….

I guess I’ll have to tackle my brows now,too. I lost most of them a couple of years ago when my thyroid was out of whack.It looked awful but I never drew them in because I didn’t want to look like your mother’s high-browed friend. Now they are back but they are growing in places where they never have before. .It’s time to bite the bullet and get out the tweezers. I will remember not to have my drinky winky until after the plucking is done.

Infidel, you know how I am. Sometimes I need a break from the interwebs but damn if it doesn’t draw be back every time!

Alice, the drawing on of the eyebrows made me laugh so hard! My mom used to have a friend who shaved hers off and drew them on a good inch above where they ought to be. She invited us over for brunch one Saturday, and I guess we arrived a little earlier than she planned because she’d only drawn on one eyebrow. My mother immediately elbowed me to make sure I said nothing to embarrass her or her friend.

It was SO hard not to stare at her forehead throughout that whole meal, and I distinctly recall waggling my own eyebrows dramatically when I spoke in the hope she’d take a hint and go pencil the other one in.

Yes, eyebrow fashions change – but I don’t think it’s ever fashionable for a woman our age to have a unibrow, or to at least not have an arch. You can get a good shape that you won’t be embarrassed to wear untended but can still wax down to nothing if you feel the need to draw your eyebrows on.

That’s an excellent idea! I’d thought about doing that several years back, but talked myself out of it on the rationale that eyebrow and, er, “other hair” styles might change and I wouldn’t be able to change with them.

(Anyone who thinks eyebrows don’t change with the times just needs to look back at Brooke Shields in the 80s, or Courtney Cox in the 90s, and you’ll see how they really DO change with the times. And as for the “other hair” styles changing, well, take a gander at some 70s porn — if you dare — and tell me cootchies don’t look different these days.)

But, hey, who am I kidding? I’m at the age now where I’d just look ridiculous trying to keep up with the latest fashions, including eyebrows.

Three words, honey – laser hair removal. It didn’t take care of EVERY crazy hair – there are still two eyebrow hairs I have to pluck – but that’s much better than what happened every damned time I tried to do my own eyebrows. The cost for a half dozen sessions was about what I spent on eyebrow waxing over a year and a half, and now I don’t have to take the time to go to the salon and find out that my favorite waxing tech has left and so this new girl’s going to make me look like a chola. Or the …um…downstairs wax is going to leave me with very unsexy ingrown hairs or when you decide to, just for a change-up, have more done than just getting the edges done and they rip large swaths of skin off (yes, that happened to me…)

Wherever you go to have yours done, have them wax your eyebrows first to get the shape right, then they start the zapping about four weeks after that.
