Oscar Clearly Goes To....
Sucking On...a Lemon?
It's been a while since we made a concerted effort to showcase some amateur eyebrow talent.
There's some not-so-cool stuff going on here: the ever-present giant forearm that is the hallmark of all self-shot photos; the lumpy bra over what appears to an otherwise-righteous rack; the low-quality new construction in the background...and of course, the squinty, sour-faced expression which might be intended as a – MUAH! – smooch, but which looks like the face we make when we have to siphon gasoline from our neighbor's car at night.
And yet...some of it's good...the expanse of curvaceous skin...the flimsy white cotton of a ribbed wife-beater...and most of all, the crazy good arch of that committed right eyebrow.
Muah!!!

Throwback Thursday: Stockings, Palm Fronds and Stencils. And Five Nipples.
Sometimes we like to find a theme that ties together our vintage eyebrow displays. But this week, we're at a loss.
We brought in a high-priced consultant to assess the situation and to provide us with a number of options to pursue. When it was time for his report, the room was hushed. The lights were dimmed and we crowded around the conference table, pencils hovering expectantly over our legal pads.
There was one PowerPoint slide. And on that single, stark slide was displayed a single, electrifying word.
Our consultant had, in true consultant style, borrowed our watch to tell us what time it was.
He read the slide's single word out loud and strode from the room, heading to the airport, with a quick stop at the ATM to cash his check. The word?
There's your theme folks. There's your theme.

Most Perfect Ass Ever? Maybe. Good Brows Too!
There are a lot of Mexican actresses we've never heard of. Here's one now:
Andrea Garcia.
This is how she appeared in a magazine called H Extremo. We don't know anything about her except that
Also, she holds up her hair a lot, and has decent eyebrows.
Cha cha cha!
Scroll-down library research bonus: Here's a list of every actress who has appeared in H Extremo since 2006.

Searching Siberia...for Eyebrows?
We saw a one-hour long documentary recently, called Searching Siberia. This pair of American modeling talent scouts ride the Trans-Siberian Railway every year and visit five Russian cities, where they do casting calls for young teenage girls who want to be "discovered" and become fashion models.
A few of the girls actually make it, although obviously the majority are doomed to a life of living in a Soviet-era apartment block on the tundra.
Although it's not a well-made film, we enjoyed Searching Siberia for a couple of reasons. For one thing, every time the scouts arrive in a new city, there is a ballroom filled with dozens of skinny, bikini-clad teenagers waiting for them. That doesn't get old. Second, though, in the same way that there are a few hidden modeling gems in those crowds of girls, there are a handful of awesome eyebrows waiting to be unleashed.
Here are some screenshots:
And here's a two minute + trailer for the film:

Throwback Thursday: Garner, Jani, Lawford
From the archives! Back in the day there was....
Geraldine Garner
Ms. Garner couldn't find a bra to match her animal print panties, so she had to walk around holding her boobs up herself. Actually she had a matching bra, which you can see here. She claimed to be "statistically stacked" at 39-24-36, and performed burlesque under the stage name Sequin.
Jean Jani
Ms. Jani was Playboy's July '57 centerfold. The magazine showed her as a United Airlines stewardess, but she actually worked the reservations desk. Now that's what we call "Global Services"! She lost her job over the racy magazine spread, but went on to a successful nude modeling career for men's magazines in the 1960s.
Barbara Ann Lawford
Another Playboy centerfold, this time in February 1961. She was on the cover seven months later. Her turn-ons were "Dogs and hot fudge sundaes." Together? Kinky!
