Oh the Horror, the Pain!
All men can leave if they are so inclined. This is a
Thing!
Uni-brow woman decided it was time to get waxed…before the bridal shower. So I call my regular waxer. Now this lady has been waxing my eyebrows for at least ten years. I can literally just tilt my head back and not worry, plus it only cost $8.00. So naturally I called her first. Of course she was booked until hell freezes over, but I’m desperate so I call a new place in town. I sit down with the ripper and explain in detail exactly what I want. I even took a pencil and held it up like the little picture above. The ripper is a very pleasant woman she listen to everything I say, nods once or twice, say she can do that no problem. The ripping commences and I think man she’s taking forever. She must just be taking her time, you know being very careful with her new client. HAH!! I look in the mirror and surprise! I don’t mean I was surprised, I mean I have a permanent look of surprise. They are over-arched, over-plucked, and one is plucked out farther than the other. The worst part, she ripped some skin off my left eyelid and it is sore as hell. So when I went to the wedding shower I had this nasty ass scab on my eyelid. Of course it did make it extremely easy to look surprised at every present Emily opened. A handy chopper…I’m so surprised!! towels…surprise. picture frame…surprise. No that’s not a skin condition on my eyelid….the dog chewed on me while I was asleep. And get this, with the wedding less than two weeks away there is no possibility of having normal brows. I think I will pay extra and have them photo-shopped in….. I like these…………………………………..
I mean hell, why not. I can’t have her cheeks or lips or money, so why not steal her eyebrows.

Ohh crap. Maybe in two weeks they’ll be grown in enough that you can shade them in a little and they’ll look ok? Makeup artists can do wonders…but I’m no makeup artist and even I can fix a botched up eyebrow tweezing with a brow pencil or some shadow..give it a try, practice.. Meanwhile I’ll go kick the ripper in the face for you.
Bummer! Maybe you can do something with an eyebrow pencil to fill in.
Yeah the horror indeed! I always pluck them myself.

Yes fear… it’s a big thing that keeps you from growing. Sigh… have you read ‘Self Matters’ by good old Dr Phil? It’s a great help.
You know, I was reading another blog where this identical thing happened {eek!}. This is why I like to pluck my own brows… hoping at least the scab will disappear before the ceremony!
And, yes, I did get stuck in traffic behind a momma duck and her ducklings! Hugs!
That has got to be the most sensible thing I’ve heard someone want that a celeb has! I’ve never gotten my brows waxed for that reason. Always afraid of the perpetually surprised look.
Half my eyebrows are brown and the other half are blonde I have to draw them in, not pluck them, but I feel for you, I really really do.
hey, it’s not necessarily a woman thing….
