God, I miss the days of getting drunk and shaving stuff off.

I guess scientists who observed things emprically have their own opinions too.

Thanks so much everyone. And I couldn't bear to post pictures!! I'm already embarrased enough as it is!!! Haha. Maybe if I get the courage up.

What I ended up doing was going to Ulta and buying eye brow powder. The wonderful woman at the store taught me exactly how to do it and it actually looks really good - you know, minus the part that there's no hair there.

I tried the pencil but I basically ended up looking like that hispanic woman in the picture posted - not good.

And I'm sure there will be many more embarassing drunk moments to happen in my youth, let's just hope it's not anything as drastic as what I did last night!

Willact - for what it's worth, I believe Whoopie Goldberg has kept her eyebrows shaved off for years.

Maybe there's an Oscar in your future!

You'd think common sense would win out. I mean, really, how likely is it that your body will go "OH! Dragging a sharp blade of metal across the skin instead of yanking away with tweezers? I do not approve of that! For my revenge, I will now push out TWICE THE HAIR!"? Bodies are pretty smart, but they're not petty and malicious and totally illogical.

It's like the people who say if you pluck above the line of your eyebrow, you'll do irrevocable damage. Uh, no, you can totally remove your upper strays as you get towards the end of your grooming, you'd just look dumb if you *started* up there. :P Also the people who say if you shave your eyebrows, they'll never grow back. If that were true, you'd be able to buy tiny razors and never need worry about plucking again.

Glad to hear you got a nice helpful lady and can now go about life with some semblance of normal eyebrows, willact. :3

Leave it and tell people you have alopecia.

I'm delighted to hear that your problem has been taken care of. As I read others' suggestions to use makeup for the lost brows, I thought "I'd have to get a makeup person to do it for me". I was thinking along the lines of Sophora or something like that. Sadly there are many women (and men) who lose their eyebrows - along with all other body hair - while they're undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Makeup experts in these stores have learned the fine art of 'filling in' for the temporary loss.

I'm a little disappointed that, especially on this board, the thread hasn't led to other tales of drunken shaving . . .

I've shaved other people's eyebrows off while drunk, but never my own.

"Willact - for what it's worth, I believe Whoopie Goldberg has kept her eyebrows shaved off for years."

I was totally going to mention Whoopi!
