When Less Is Less

At the risk of turning this into a blog about hair, I am going to approach the subject once again.  Usually I am concerned with an over-abundance of hair, but there is a flip side - the over zealous eyebrow plucker.  How does this happen?  Does a person just look in the mirror one day, say "eyebrows suck," and methodically remove all traces?  Does plucking become like a gambling addiction that slowly takes away every thing you have?  Eyebrows serve a function!  Sure, they can get out of hand, growing bushier than a schnauzer's, but they also prevent sweat and even rain from rolling right into your eyeball.  As much as I am a fan of function, I'm also into aesthetics.  The real reason this bothers me, is that it's just weird.  It kind of freaks me out.  The lack of eyebrows is only part of it -- the hideous make-up that some people choose instead can be wild.  Sometimes I wonder who people think they're fooling when they only have a few thin hairs in the area where an eyebrow used to be, acting as dots to connect the lines of bad make-up.  Sometimes less is more, such as fixing the unibrow, but taken to extremes, less is less.
