Red Eyebrows

Okay, there is no picture. Sorry for anyone who was expecting one

Ever since I came to the U.S. I noticed that African American women tend to be more in touch with, what is the right word here? More in touch with colors … I somehow feel like most of them function by instinct, which I think is influenced by their roots. Often when I think of Africa, I imagine people in tribes engaging in animalistic behavior. I do not mean to insult, but I mean that they are more raw.

Many of the women I see dress in flashy colors, and they match their shirts with their sandals for example. You can spot them miles away. When they get a manicure, they get XXX-Long nails and color them something like orange, green, or purple. They usually wear heavy accessories. In short, two words to describe them would be : TOO MUCH! I guess it is becoming clearer why I think of an African woman as a lioness.

But what I saw a couple of days ago was the real surprise. I saw a woman who had red eyebrows Yes, you read it right the first time; red eyebrows. I did not know whether I should stare or ask how she burnt them or simply act as if the red lines above her eyes are considered normal view. I really wanted to take a picture. I mean they were red red. I tried searching the internet for red eyebrows just so you can get an idea, but I did not find any. Apparently, the majority of people is sane enough to keep their eyebrows looking normal. And people who dye their eyebrows are considerate enough to our feelings not to publish pictures online.
