There's nothing wrong with starting out with easy ones ;)

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

*agrees* gives you that feeling of accomplishment from the get-go

[flashfly.livejournal.com]

Where are your snapshots? I want to see.

Last night I decided enough was enough and plucked my eyebrows. Wow. It was scary. I can't believe I let it go so long.

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

if you mean the snapshots for the100_snapshots comm. mine and Lauren's photos can be found here:

We've only gotten about half-way through the first list. Thanks for wanting to see

I've recently discovered that I have an eyebrow kink...stunning to realize at this point in my life and yeah, they can be a very scary thing, I'm very blond so, by dying them, I can, at least now see where to pluck, which is a good thing actually.

[flashfly.livejournal.com]

I love your 'drops' and Lauren's 'hot'.

What does your eyebrow kink consist of?

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

thank you! We don't know how hot happened, the camera made the pic b&w with the flame blue, but don't tell anyone.

Ok, since I've gotten involved with the Glam Nation fandom, with Adam and Tommy, I couldn't help but notice what stunning eyebrows each has and how important that feature is to their faces. I know eyebrows matter to expression, but. like I mentioned, as a blond, even though it's even more important due to eyebrow invisibility, I never paid much attention to my own. No longer.
here's a link to Tommy:

and here's one to Adam:

and, here's a link to both

Love your icon

[flashfly.livejournal.com]

My goodness those eyebrows are yummy. Especially the first pic of Tommy.

It's not bragging if it's true right? I have beautiful eyebrows. :)

And I won't tell a soul.

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

It's interesting that you like the first one since this is his most natural and it's one of my favorite of him. Adam, as I'm sure you know, is a total red-head, all make-up, all the time.

It's definitely not bragging if true so, good for you, mine are slowly, but surely improving.

[flashfly.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why I liked it so much because it was natural. I did not know that Adam was a redhead. *boggles*

[flashfly.livejournal.com]

If that is Adam, I'm a fan! I like him so much better like this.

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

that's him, some younger and much more his natural color, he's, obviously, a strawberry-blond. Isn't he freakin' beautiful in this picture? Dayum. His mom says he's had his hair dark so long she hardly remembers him any other way, he says he didn't think red hair was a rock&roll color, but I say he's nuts. There's a vid of him singing at his HS graduation in San Diego, red-headed, but not like this photo, much more conservative.
