Eyebrow raising over eyebrowing razing

Saturday, November 07, 2009

The results of the latest fashion poll in Don Polec's World say the eyes have it or do they?

The newest fashions often offer surprises, but the latest chic trend sweeping Europe and America is raising eyebrows.

We're talking razing eyebrows as in shaving them off entirely thereby turning what was a fraternity keg party prank, into the pinnacle of fashionista style

For years, women have been plucking and tweezing:

"But now fully removing your eyebrows has become a big trend," fashion expert Nicole Cashman said.

I'll skip that trend.

This is a culture where removing body hair in various other locations is commonplace.

Come to think of it, the whole Cold War would've seemed a lot friendlier if Soviet premier Leonid Breshnev decided to forgo his follicles. The startling impact of the look the reason that many would think of it as their shave of last resort, although that hasn't always been the case

This is not really new, in the 70s we saw it. David Bowie, that whole glitter rock thing was a throwback to the 30s, people like Marlene Dietrich had no eyebrows. She drew them on, but they were gone.

Back in the 1600s we've seen it, so it's really something that comes in and out. This current trend is only the latest version of 16th century chic.
