It seems that at least in Britain, men are spending actual time and money having their eyebrows threaded.  And no, I didn&#8217;t know what that meant either, but the article describes it as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;a treatment called &#8220;threading,&#8221; an ancient method of hair removal which originated in India in which a thin twine of cotton thread is rolled over the offending area, plucking the hair from the follicle level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What fun!  Seriously, to anyone who&#8217;s undergoing this procedure, isn&#8217;t there a football match on somewhere or an empty pub stool you should be sitting on?<\/p>\n<p>Sara Stern, Director of Cosmetic Merchandising at Debenhams department store stated, &#8220;Men are recognizing the power of a groomed brow to frame the face and create a sexy James Bond-style arch when raised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, I recognize that my furry unibrow isn&#8217;t maybe my best look.  But 8 seconds a week with scissors or a beard trimmer keeps that in check just fine.  I&#8217;m also smart enough to realize that no girl on the planet will mistake me for Sean Connery if only I had his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>To any men of the male persuasion out there thinking that this seems like a good way to up your metrosexual cred, I have this advice.  Grow a pair&#8230; (of eyebrows).<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please, please, please&#8230; let the answer be no&#8230; crap.
