Browsing


I think we might agree that the media obsesses over 'perfect' female beauty, whilst it simultaneously expresses horror at Botox and skinny models. So, I was planning an in-depth critique of such a hypocritical and unhealthy system, when I decided that there is one element of this that really needs to stop right now because it is so offensively stupid. Eyebrows.

What is it with people and their eyebrows? I just don't get it.

Sure, tan yourself mahogany and only eat cabbage for months on end - whilst clearly bonkers at least I understand the idea behind it. You want to look good or skinny or beautiful or whatever. But ladies, I implore you, leave your poor eyebrows alone.

look at those beauties
There are several things I have done in the name of research for this post:
  • Spent 60 seconds trying to look at my own eyebrows without the aid of a reflective surface. 
  • Discovered that eyebrows are meant to stop our gushing rivers of sweat and scalp-debris from blinding us.
  • Realized that I must be the only person I know who just doesn't care about my eyebrows, or anyone else's.
  • Wasted about 45 minutes on Google images trying to find some good eyebrow photos before realizing that no such thing exists.
  • Typed the word eyebrow so often that it has lost all meaning. 
Because the thing is dear bald-faced Britain, as much as you might care about your own brows, nobody else does. Surely the lowest possible moment in conversation is when somebody mentions that they've changed from a Knightly to a Portman. Can you hear yourself? 

You just said the word eyebrow in an adult conversation. 

Anyway, this was all just an excuse for me to post a montage of the best eyebrows to bless this planet. A Spocktage if you will.



Check out the brows on that cat.

  2. Spock beats Frida for many, many reasons. His eyebrows beat her eyebrows because they look like a gorilla who just wants a hug.
