Hey everybody!

Guess who has one and a half eyebrows, and bought a new eyebrow trimmer yesterday?

:D

Woe! I'm so sorry.

[dorinda]

Alack! But also, hee hee. I'm not freaking out or anything... I mean, partly, what would that help. But also, I wear glasses, and I think if I switch from my frameless (what I usually wear to work, since they're so easy to peek over for close-up detail at the work bench) to my backup pair with frames, it'll keep it from being quite so obvious, until my bald face grows back in.

I assume those are reported in reverse chronological order -- or did you decide to trim the second one to match?

(I offer sympathy for your predicament, and am rather curious about this device.)

[dorinda]

Yeah, it's like one of those TV episodes that starts right off with the exciting fight scene, and then freeze-frames with a caption: SIX HOURS EARLIER... Very dramatic, eh? Where's my Emmy!

It's just a little battery-operated dealio from the drugstore, with interchangeable heads. Intended for trimming things like eyebrows, nose hair, etc. Since I had to use it without my glasses... annnnnd I can't see well at without my glasses... it was like a completely predictable sitcom moment.

I do believe I'll be switching from my frameless glasses to the ones with frames for this coming workweek. Hopefully at least a little camouflagey.

Oh, no! I entirely understand about the having to do it without your glasses, but since you actually do need your glasses… Yes, sitcom, indeed. *g* Here's to fast-growing replacement follicles!

[dorinda]

I know, right? This is always a thing, when I need to do something delicate to my eye area--so I can't wear my glasses--but I need to see, so I need my glasses--but I can't wear my glasses--bzzt, DOES NOT COMPUTE, OVERLOAD, OVERLOAD. *g*

Oh, whoops. Good thing hair grows back, and in the meantime, if it bothers you, there are eyebrows pencils.

FWIW, I've never noticed that they needed a trim.

[dorinda]

Heh heh heh...well they CERTAINLY DON'T NOW. :D

[klia]

:D

Just be careful with that thing. There's only one Whoopi for a reason.

Oh, dear. (I laugh simply because I can "hear" you laughing at yourself. Really.)

I think going with the backup frames will work just fine.

[dorinda]

I am totally laughing. And I mean, I'm not even thinking about it while I'm out trundling around in public... possibly largely because I have reached (via age and/or temperament) a definite level of "eh, dun care" about so many things. My reservoirs of giving a crap can run pret-ty low about some stuff, let's put it that way.

(Also, I think it makes a difference, noticeability-wise, that it was the outside half of the brow, not the inside half where I think more people's gaze centers.)

[giglet]

Snorts. I'm sorry, but there really is no other reasonable response!

Eyebrow pencil, maybe? And enjoy this opportunity to play with the full range of comic book eyebrows?

[dorinda]

Baaa ha ha ha...I hadn't considered the customizability of it all! Monday morning >:| , Monday afternoon {:-|, Tuesday staff meeting |:-O

We used to have a toy at home, what was it what was it... ah here it is! HUGO: MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES. He was this puppet with a bald plastic/vinyl (?) head, and he came with a bunch of accessories you could stick on him, or you could use makeup (ASK ME HOW I KNOW). Hugo would know exactly how best to exploit the movable eyebrow possibilities!
