The Case of the Missing Eyebrow
I totally suck at drawing on eyebrows - one is always thicker than the other, one is higher than the other, one is longer, or one is ridiculously stubby, etc. Most days I just don't bother, but for some reason I decided I cared this morning. Fast-forward to this afternoon at Macy's with Nan-naw (my grandmother). We are walking around and seem to be going in aimless circles attempting to find the intimates department and I keep noticing these really weird looks. Normally I love "wigging" people out, but I couldn't figure out what I had done. I kept reaching up to make sure the wiglet was on right and the hat was in place, but still these looks keep coming. Before going to Macy's I went to the wig shop to see if they had temporary eyebrow tattoos, which they don't, and the nice lady didn't mention anything. Nan-naw has not mentioned anything and I'm getting really confused. We finally make it to the right department and we are ushered back to a fitting room so that Nan-naw can be fitted for a bra and I decide to check myself out in the mirror. I look and realize I have forgotten to draw on any left eyebrow!
I begin to laugh hysterically, both the bra-fitter and Nan-naw are really confused and I say, "Excuse me, I've lost my eyebrow!"
They didn't seem to find it as funny as I did...there's no accounting for taste.

That was funny! :) You might want to keep in mind that most eyebrows do not exactly match. Its
the way humans were made, one side is not going to match the other perfectly.....eyes, ears, etc.
one side will be higher or lower ...bigger or smaller than the other. Thanks for the story it brought
back some memories for me. But why not get permanent tattoed eyebrows?

hehehehe how cute...............Nicole had a similar situation. She text me New Years Eve to ask if it was ok to sleep with her eyebrows on I said sure if they were glued on good she thought they were. When I saw her next she said "MUM when I woke up in the morning I rubbed my hands up over my head..........realised my eyebrows were MIA so started searching for them" she said she rubbed her hands all over her head, located one behind her ear and the other on her pillow...............we all had a good laugh I was so happy that she could laugh at her little dilemma and had such a good attitude about it lol..................how cute. (Nicole is 12)

I am thinking about the permanent tattoos, but I haven't found a place that I trust enough to ink me...I'm still on the search.
