I’m just sayin…..
While waiting in line at Chic-fil-a, I was shocked by what I saw. There was a girl in line a few people ahead of me. She had a great and
colorful tattoo of a butterfly on the back of her neck. It was very pretty and tastefully
done. When she gets older and enters the work force she can simply wear her hair down if she so chooses and no one will know its there. I am not a fan of ink (for
myself) but I have always said if I were to get a tattoo, it would be either on
the back of my neck or on my backside and it would probably be a butterfly. The woman with the tattoo
was not the shocking thing. It was
the lady directly in front of me that was taking serious issue with the girl
with the butterfly tattoo. She
went on and on about how tacky it was to get a tattoo and how young people
today were all just “trashy”. I
agree that there is a lot of trashy out there but this girl was not trashy,
just young and expressing herself with a beautiful tattoo of a butterfly. The woman went on for about 5 minutes
with the person she was standing in line with. She had one of the southern accents that even southerners talk about being horrible. The kind that makes you scratch your head at why SHE is talking about trashy because you KNOW when the chips are down, she KNOWS trashy very well. I'm talkin crawls into bed with dirty feet trashy, my baby daddy trashy (although not in her case, she was old), paints over chipped toenail polish trashy, meth lab in her neighborhood kind of trashy. You know, the accent that says I come from circus people from the wrong side of the tracks. She sounded like she could not hardly wait to get through line so she could go outside and burn a cigarette. People around us were getting a little irritated with
her diatribe. Believe it or not, I
kept my mouth shut although I was secretly dreaming of jumping the counter,
grabbing a piece of piping hot chicken and shoving it down the hatch of her big
ass mouth in an effort to take one for the team and shut her up! I cleared my throat the way folks
do when they are irritated and I was all ready to give her stink eye when she turned
to look at me. Enter the shocking
part. When she turned around to
look at me I almost turned to stone.
She had the biggest, brightest eyebrows in all the free world, and guess
what? THEY WERE TATTOOED ON!!!!!! This old bitch, complaining about a tattoo and she had two of um...on her damn face!!!! First of all, what hit me was the ugly
face of this woman, instead of wasting her money on tattooed eyebrows she should have had them tattoo the face of Cindy Crawford on her to cover up hers. All I could focus
on were the reddish brown arches she had inked into her face. She looked like a walking
representative for McDonald's! The
audacity of this woman to talk smack about the girl with the tattoo when she
had two of them on her forehead! I
would have gladly taken the butterfly over the auburn arches. You be the judge.
This?
Or this?
Should make you think of burgers NOT eyebrows
I simply do not understand the concept of tattooing your eyebrows. I know as we age or have health
complications things like eyebrows falling out becomes a reality. Our eyebrows are one of the few things that actually thin as we age..isn't it ironic, don't cha think? Is there something wrong with using an
eyebrow pencil to fill them in to give them definition? Or is filling them in with a pencil the pre-cursor to
tattooing? I think its ugly as
hell when they are colored in to heavily also but my god at least you can wash
that off at night! Tattooing
eyebrows may look good on women of color but white women with pasty white skin,
NO NO NO! I have never seen this
done on a woman where it looks natural.
Case and Point
But also wrong on many levels
I am sorry but it just looks like a toddler got hold of a sharpie and went to work on the
forehead of a woman scared to get old.
My eyebrows are thin also and I am now a blond so I take blond
eyeliner pencil and color them a tad bit just so they do not look so thin, well and to cover up the gray ones that creep in. I DO NOT use that eyeliner to draw a line further than the eyebrow actually exists. I find myself looking in a mirror
several times before I leave the house JUST to make sure my eyebrows are not so
prominent that they enter a room 30 seconds before I do. People should notice the entire face,
not just one item on the face. I cannot look anyone in the eye that has tattooed eyebrows. I feel like its all I am looking at and it honestly makes me feel like I am going to turn into a pillar of salt. I am not saying that every set of tattooed eyebrows is unattractive, I am just saying I have never seen any that were attractive enough to look normal or make me rush out and spend $450 to get a set. If you think I am lying, ask a man what he thinks (not that it really matters, we don't do it for them anyway). If you can find one that will talk about it, good luck getting him to tell you the truth until you get a few beers in him. The ones I have asked (didn't want to be named of course) say they do not understand why we pluck the shit out of them and then color them on, honestly neither do I. Men do stupid stuff too, especially when they are going through a midlife crisis. They buy sports cars, wear all black clothing, turtlenecks and douse themselves in tons of cologne. They hang out at bars again, comb their hair over a growing bald spot, cavort with younger women and eat Viagra like candy until their ticker jumps ship or they realize they are just old and settle down before the next heart attack. Anyway, back to women... The
way we decorate our faces should enhance our beauty not detract from it. I am the first to admit that when you
see me without make up you KNOW God invented it for a reason but damn people,
its make up, not war paint!
Speaking of getting old, one of the reason’s I am a bit scared to get old is because
beauty will eventually betray us all as wrinkles and oldness set in. Society doesn’t really teach us how to
age gracefully, but rather how to go see a surgeon to delay it with ink, nips
and tucks. Once women start having
“work done” they seem to lose perspective on when enough is enough. Its like they are stuck in this
parallel universe where they think no one is aware they are having procedures done and they
somehow think they look normal to us.
Really? Is this normal?
This was normal
Damn
Sweet Jesus
THIS may be the one that made her daughter beg her to STOP!
She had so much surgery her husband split because
her looks made him physically ILL!
I think she wants to be a cat.
Men do it too!
Not scared of getting old. Scared of getting black.
When the gambler had a good hand.
FOLD
I digress but seriously, WTF?
foam AND sausage fingers!
I have always said that I will do just about anything to my face such as, spend an exorbitant amount of money on creams, serums, oxygen blasts, botox and peels but it stops there. NO surgery. Partly because I am chicken shit and do not have a high threshold for pain but also because I am scared I will look like a sad woman afraid to get old.
Used to be adorable
Now the joker from Batman
Used to be gorgeous
Now old and overly injected
There are those eyebrows again
Hi, I could suck a golf ball through
a garden hose!
Its not just Hollywood that has lost their mind and gone surgery crazy. We have women here that have done it also. I would love to put pictures of them in here because damn all I would have to do is scan through my face book pages but I have to live here so I will not sell anyone out. I am just sayin at some point we need to just allow ourselves to get old and stop trying to cover it up by injecting fat from other parts of our body into our face. We see you and we remember what you looked like one or two husbands ago and we think you just look silly now, well and old but its ok it happens to all of us. Back to the eyebrows, I guess that is a live and let live thing but you KNOW I have an opinion on it..and in the grand scheme of what folks do to their faces it could probably be worse.
