My eyebrows are blond, blond to the point that from a distance you probably couldn't tell if I had eyebrows. So... if you saw me walking toward you on the sidewalk would it freak you out enough to make you cross to the other side of the street?

Skinny and pale sounds good to me! Most people who are pale probably aren't pale due to a medical reason. More like they're pale because they don't go to unhealthy means to change their skin tone.

You know what, you've made several rude comments pertaining to Americans in various threads. Your above statement regarding "fat ass" is rude as well.

Yeah, skinny does look unhealthy to me - especially when they border on looking anorexic. Pale skin looks unhealthy to me, it looks as though they've been living in a cave somewhere like a mole.

You don't have to spend hours in the sun risking skin cancer to get color in your complexion and have a "healthy" glow.

Well said, I agree.

Agreed with both statements. There's a difference between fair skin and not going outside much vs. pale skin with a little bit of healthy tan.

Does it disgust me? I guess not

Oh. Monti.... blonde eyebrows....

As my Dad aged (same hair color as me) his hair didn't gray as much as lose pigment. Strands of grey yes, but it more washed out...

A fe years ago, I noticed my eyebrows were DISAPPEARING. I mean -- they were still there.... but becoming colorless. I tried eyebrow powder and yes -- that mascara-y eyebrow stuff.... eww eww eww....

I have them dyed now... light brown or dark blonde....

I have a few friends whose eyebrows did that too. It's incredible the things we women have to do, huh?

As long as you didn't land in one of these, I'd be fine.

LOL... my eyebrows are very light red (almost strawberry-blond), and I pencil them in with light brown when I'm dressed up. Makes my eyes pop!

I just couldn't get the knack of using a pencil -- I always looked like Groucho!

They say you can spot a tourist by the white shorts, sandals, and a San Francisco SWEATshirt - they expect it to be sunny CA, and end up buying some cheap warmer clothing while here.

Back in the late 90s, I was going through this Prada phase where I only wore black and in my culture(Tongan) you only wear all black when there's a funeral-and according to ancient superstition, to where all black for any other so for any other reason invites death to your family.

So every time my mom would see me wearing all black prada, she'd swat the back of my head.
