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.

Perhaps you could wear a spare set as a mustache? That way you'd always have a spare! LOL. Thanks for the chuckle.

I was in the same situation last week. I was rushing out of the house and completely forgot to draw on my eyebrows. I was getting some very crazy looks from people in the grocery store. I had an "I don't care attitude" at the time but when I left the store, I felt a little embarassed. I am so looking into getting my eyebrows tattooed on. I am a little sketchy about trying the human hair lace eyebrows..but it doesn't hurt to try.

That's a thought, Nants!
At the local wig store they have real human hair beards & moustaches...I bet that would look neat (I could be a pirate!)

Nants that is my favorite holiday!
I have a t-shirt that I wear (an official Talk Like a Pirate Day one) and I talk like one all day, much to my mom's chagrin. I even got my Latin teacher to do it and he now has a game he plays with his classes for TLAP day!
I have decided that global warming is directly related the declining number of pirates in the world and that if we increased the pirate population global warming would decrease....or we could stop pollution. At this point I'm not sure which would be easier...

Hi Val!
I work for Pink Sneakers Productions and we are currently casting for a new documentary series on TLC, tentatively titled "Life Chronicles." We are looking for individuals with alopecia to share their story and to enlighten our viewers about this disorder and how someone deals with it on a day to day basis. I would love to hear more about your story.
I absolutely love your positive attitude regarding alopecia and I love that you are lighthearted regarding this disorder and how it affects your life. I think you could add an amazing dynamic to this documentary and really bring hope to other individuals with alopecia through your positive attitude. Please email us at casting@pinksneakers.net if you would like to get involved and share your story. Please consider this amazing opportunity, I really hope to talk to you soon!
