Everyday I wander through this world and just look around. I must be one of the few people not looking at my phone when I am walking around, well in China at least. For years I have been a people watcher and have had many hours of fun criticising and commenting on folk for many years and I am sure that I have also been on the receiving end, in fact I know I have. As an old white guy in China with a white beard and looking quite dashing of course, I get a lot of curious looks.
Women in particular fascinate me, one because I am attracted to them, but secondly because of the amount of make up they plaster on their faces. This is the same all over the world of course. No country is immune I think, but some countries take it to a whole different level. When I was back in the UK this year it was the fake tans that I focused on. There was also a distinct line around the jaw bone of most women where they must have thought their face ended because all of a sudden there was white skin. The fake face and the real face did not become a blend but it was more like a demarcation line. Some of these women want to lose weight, stop using the make up and see what difference that makes to the scales. For years I’ve wondered why so many women look as if they work in a circus, when really most of them should just bin all the product and go o’natural and many would look the better for it.
In China they chase the porcelain look, pure white skin is what they want here. The other day on the metro I thought that the girl who came on and sat down opposite was dead because I could see no colour in her at all, even her hands had a deathly hue. But in China the women don’t seem to wear as much make up compared to the UK for instance, so they do look a bit more natural apart of course for the zombies that you see from time to time.
However they are into their eyebrows, I mean you could set your watch by just how sharp some of these babies are. But then I always seem to get an image of Groucho Marx into my head when I see the crazy eyebrows here. I mean are they doing it for a joke or a bet?
They also get their eyebrows tattooed here, but they look quite ridiculous at times. The stick out so much that it’s Groucho Marx that I see and I can only see the eyebrows and not the rest of the face. The eyebrows have a mind of their own and they have a body attached to them. The eyebrows often seem to be in the wrong place on the face. The remnants of the real eyebrows stubbornly betray this fact. I just want to ask one question, “Why?”
Why would you get this optional extra and stick it on your skull for the whole world to see when it is so fucking ridiculous looking. The fashion icons of today have lot to answer for. I have one friend that has real eyebrows but she goes once a week to make sure they are sharp and on time. One day I’ll get into trouble for staring too much and they’ll think I might be a mad stalker, when in fact it’s the eyebrows that I’m stalking.
I also feel that many of them are very self conscious about them too. There is a certain air of “look at me, look at my wonderful eyebrows” But I think this is the eyebrows talking, there is a darker side to this whole affair……………….they have taken over the mind and body like a parasite does and it’s them that is in control. I think the eyebrow is trying for world domination and it has been a slow process up until now, but I feel that it is an insipid creature with malice aforethought and it will finally have its day. For many years they only seemed to attack men and make them look stupid. There are so many fine examples, even I have been attacked by them and I have to constantly fight them along with the dreaded nasal hair and ear hair. When all three combine then they can make your life hell and of course make you look completely stupid and powerless. Sometime the eyebrows will join together and when this happens then you are just a lost cause.
This even happens in women, but so far they have been lucky and it’s not an epidemic situation, but it only seems to affect women of certain ethnic backgrounds. But let’s get back to China. Why is it that this phenomena has finally reached the shores of China?, well I’ll tell you…………China has embraced many things from the west., like Starbucks,KFC and McDonald’s and the like and this is where the cracks began to appear. They look to the west and see how popular things are and they grab it with both hands because it makes them stand out, they want to be individuals…………….and it can be difficult to stand out in a country with such a large population. This is where the eyebrow saw a niche market and for a while there were only a few ridiculous looking women out there but now you see them everywhere. The price tag for this is not cheap. Eyebrows are raking in the money, at least $100 per pair for fake tattooed eyebrows and I have no idea what the running costs are for them But I think it might be cheaper to own and run a Lamborghini.
In a world full of uncertainty everyday and now we have to contend with the final battle of the eyebrow. We all know that Trump has been infected in many ways by cosmetic enhancements. He is full of parasites. His hair, his eyebrows, his skin colour and of course they have all combined forces to attack the brain and turn it into a an even more Twisted, Stupid individual. it wasn’t only the Simpsons that predicted the Trump presidency, in “Back to the Future 2” one of the characters is Biff and he was as thick as pig shit.
He happened to find an almanac from the future that Marty McFly had lost and he changed the course of history and you only have to look at the similarities of Biff and Trump to see what I mean. If you want to see what is in store for the coming years, watch Back to the Future 2. It’s really quite a sad tale.
you may think I am off topic, but no………………I am just trying to point out to you the path that we are on. We must at all costs resist the eyebrow and not let it take over our life and of course our face. If you could somehow rip them off and then stand on them and save these poor women, but alas I fear that we can only sit back and watch and so I will. I will continue to monitor the advancement of this invasion, it’s all I can really do. If I have an opportunity I will get pictures, but you must realise just how difficult this can be. They are very sensitive to being photographed and the host can turn quite nasty if they catch you. However I will endeavour to provide you with examples and I will risk life and limb in this pursuit.
