Jesus be a pair of industrial strength tweezers*

Little Lourdes is a lovely young girl. She's only 11 and we all know that she is smack dab in the middle of that awkward stage we all went through. But those eyebrows...they are threatening to connect and are traveling down her nose! The pure unadulterated horror. This really has me thinking about the importance of grooming. For us adults, wayward facial hair is a completely unnecessary evil. I never understood why grown women would walk around rockin full mustaches and goatees. Wax is your friend! But the question remains, is 11 too early for a wax? If you were Madonna, would you strap her down to the bed a la "Mommy Dearest" and pluck/wax that uni into submission?

My co worker has a unibrow, she dared not pluck it because she swears someone told her mom as a baby that it was good luck to keep it..hmmmmmm, I took her to get them waxed and she looked sooooo much better, she doesn't maintain it though and its back and its nto cute to say the least. I would not worry about Lourdes, she looks hairy all over. I would not want to take away her innocence, to her it probably looks normal. Maybe her mom can show her in comparison to her own eyebrows and allow her to decide if she wants to alter them..I dont know though. If she does it once, it may be come an obsession and then she will obsess over everything.

this is a toughie....i would WANT to, but i wouldn't want to freak her out or make her feel like something was wrong with her. she may be too young to fully understand that it's a society thing for MOST women not to be rocking the TOM SELLECK STACHE or the FRIDA KHALO UNI. if she asked first, then cool. but at this age, she's suffering from enough awkwardness...i would prolly chill a few years (unless she asked first!) cuz lawd KNOWS i'd have to pray myself off of her face er'ry day.

if there are those parents that would encourage it, they could prolly suggest to tear the hair off and make some matching fuzzy earrings or something....hey, be creative...RECYCLE!

You know, she doesn’t even have to wax it. At least, and this is a big at least, take some small scissors to it and try to shape it a little. Those hairs in the middle are really long. Almost like whiskers… And they’re the biggest problem.
