I am a danger to myself

or as an alternative title--"why girling it up is too much for me"

I have the crazy eyebrows. I mean CRAZY. They do not match, each eyebrow is thick and long and often curly like an old man. You pluck the wrong one and now you have a bald spot. I do not know if this is because I have the same face designer as LEatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or if it is genetic, as Dad has some crazy brows too. In any event, it is a burden.

Liza attempts to keep them waxed up good for me, but they can get kind of Sasquatch on me in between visits.

To keep them under control, I use this little trimmer thing of Barry's--it is handy dandy for in between visits. In the middle of the nite, I remembered that he will be leaving early this morning and I better address these things.

BAD idea. What do you think happened? No, I did not trim off my whole eyebrow--that would probably be better. I fumbled around so much that I accidently swiped the outside corner of my upper eyelid and now my EYELASHES are 1/8 of an inch long.

Probably no one will notice this and if you have not figured it out by now, I do not care if they do. I wonder though, do eyelashes grow? or just fall out and get replaced? What do I do about this? Will I end up blinded because there is next to no protection on my left eye outer corner?

I should have just stayed ugly.

Holy shit! I am so sorry, but I am lmao!!

I don't know the answer to your question though. So I will leave now since all I can offer is my laughter.

I think they grow to a certain point and then fall out and are replaced by new growth. So your short lashes will eventually fall out and new ones will fill in...You could trim them all just a bit (not as short as the others) and then use mascara everyday and nobody will probably notice. They'll just look short and thick. Good luck!! (and don't worry, I have made the mistake of bleaching my eyebrows before, and ARGH!! was it ever a mess. You aren't the only one who does these sorts of things. lol.)

OMGawd LMAO!!! I am sorry but that is funny...

Do not make me come over and spank you~do not ever, and I MEAN NEVER get the trimmer out again, you hear me? Go get your eyebrows WAXED and pluck ONLY, between waxes already! Get some mustache scissors and trim them if you have to, but NO trimmers!!!Lol! I am just like you...mine are unruly, thick and dark and I really need to get them "done" every week...or at least every other week...I pluck between wax appointments. They always look so great when I leave my wax lady...I could never, EVER get them that perfect on my own.

Don't worry too much, eyelashes DO grow back...I THINK!

Love you...!

Hee hee. Oops, I am so not laughing.
I thought I heard somewhere that it takes like 6 months to grow an eyelash.
I am familiar with the hole in my eyebrow look but so far my eyelashes have escaped my ineptness.

Camille said...

Dang woman! That is the kind of thing I would do. I settled on monobrow a long time ago... I was always pinching the shit out of myself with the tweezers, so I just gave up....

Heather said...

From one crazy-browed chick to another, I feel your pain! }:-) (Those aren't devil horns, they're my eyebrows when I haven't been vigilant enough with the tweezers!)

I'm pretty sure eyelashes grow, fall out and are replaced just like hairs do...

The Wife said...

ROTFL....the sad thing is, I could see myself doing the same thing!

I thought you were going to say you tripped and broke your ankle while wearing high heels. Your story is much more entertaining. I guess the lashes will just fall out and be replaced by regular ones. I don't think they keep growing or we would see people with nasty long eye lashes.
Makes me wonder what the world record for eye lash length is. Google here I come.

beauty is hell...last time the girl at the salon told me I pluck mine too thin so now im trying to let them get bushy. I have used the little gizmo for men to kind of tame them. but im extremely careful. hey they'll grow. smear a little manure and they'll grow wild again.

Tiffany said...

LMAO I wanna see pictures.

My eyebrows are bushy and stick up every which way. I've been getting electrolysis for a while to get them normal looking. Beauty is a bitch!

Vodka Mom said...

jesus. We have GOT to see a picture of this.....

Do not be worried! ! !

Eyelashes grow back. Take it from one who "knows".

And oh my Carol

Hohni said...

ROTFLMAO!!!! That has got to be one the funniest things I have heard in a long time. Why do we as women try to impress our men all the time? Does anyone out there think that our guys really, seriously look at our eyebrows???
