Ever get your eye brows threaded? AGONY.
I was starting to look like Bert, so I went.
But. OUCH!
Anyone?

I seriously thought this was about who invented threads on message boards.

In her effort to finally become a puppet, Corine accidentally chose Bert.

Cute one Namo. Now can you do me a favor and stick a giant gag in Reidel's mouth.

I LOVE it!!!! I had never heard of it before, but one time I had my hair done by a crazy Iranian woman (and threading is taught in the beauty schools in Iran, Corine, to answer your question), and she just came at me wtih spinning threads and pulled my eyebrows out! It didn't hurt me as much as waxing, I actually thought it was neat!

"I seriously thought this was about who invented threads on message boards."

me too.




my question: what IS threading?

[Corine2]

Posted: 6/1/05 at 11:43pm

I thought it was more painful then waxing.

It is an incredibly painful experience on your brows.

"Now can you do me a favor and stick a giant gag in Reidel's mouth."

but what exactly do they do?

See that funky thread "contraption" however you want to call it -- they kind of "pull it out" with the thread. Per hair. Ouch.

I prefer waxing, thankyouverymuch.

... thats a waste. wow. is there a reason why you should choose it over tweezing or waxing?

[Marquise]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 12:05am

That's kinky.....

[shira467]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 12:08am

Kinky my ass (no pun intended) -- it hurts like HELL!

Jaded, some people think it's more exact or something like that.

It's actually quite fast, the two threads spin together and the esthetician is trained to know how to run them along the brow to shape it. It is far more economical than waxing because it only requires threads, and it's much much faster than tweezing. You get the same result as waxing in the same if not lesser amount of time. This practice is popular in Iran, where it originated, because hair removal is huge over there. It's quick, cheap and when you have it done a lot, relatively painless.

Liam calls it "thrending." It's the latest tread.

[Marquise]

Posted: 6/2/05 at 12:13am

Maybe we could thread Namo's face. No, that would actually require rope.

I'm told that "threading" was invented by the Shakers.

I know that statistically you're bound to actually write something funny eventually. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe you should stop trying so hard.

I'm still waiting for yours b!tch

Well, this is useless. You're reduced to just repeating what I say. As a smarter writer than I once wrote about somebody even more obtuse than you, "It's like throwing a dart into Jell-O with you, there's no satisfying thwack."

This is probably where you would say, "Oh yeah? YOU ARE!" in reply.
