Do I have funny looking eyebrows?
I had a fabulous pedicure today with the exception of one short conversation (keep in mind this was carried on in slightly broken English because the pedicurist was east Asian of some sort).
Pedicurist: Do you get your eyebrows waxed?
Me: Nah, I like my eyebrows the way they are.
Pedicurist: Ahhh. Ohhh. Well, you know its bad, really bad to pluck your eyebrows. You should wax instead.
Me: Umm... I don't pluck my eyebrows either..
Pedicurist: Ohh [expression of shock on her face]. You don't pluck your eyebrows?! (As if I just admitted that I robbed the crown jewels) You should do something, they would look so much better.
Me: Nah, I like my eyebrows the way they are. Anyway, I don't want to add any new beauty ritual to my life.
Pedicurist: Oh, but you'd only need to wax every one month or so. Its good. Good. Your eyebrows bad. Bad right now.
Me: I don't want to have to worry about getting my eyebrows waxed once a month, I hardly have time to get pedicures that often.
Pedcurist: Sigh. Well, ok, if that's the way you want it. But you need work on eyebrows.
Anyway, there's nothing like having your pedicurist insult your eyebrows while you are trying to relax and enjoy the massaging chair. I buried my head in my book and pretended to ignore her. I got her back later when she started asking me questions about my family and, I don't know what came over me, but I decided it was easier to make up things than explain to her about my family. So, Mom, just so you know in case you ever run into her, I'm your only biological child, but you adopted 5 boys including a set of twins and you live in Portland.
It was basically the weirdest pedicure I have *ever* had.
For the record, I don't have a uni-brow, my eyebrows aren't furry, curly, or ultra-dark. Therefore, I do not intend on beginning to wax them any time soon.
