Raised Eyebrows and Demented in Dubai
After looking at all the expensive crap
for sale at the airport I gradually grew tired of all this commercial excess. I discovered
that in Dubai airport there are free showers in the ladies. Immediately, I
hastened to a supermarket to buy toiletries and then spent probably two hours
in the shower. Travelling makes you feel so grubby and this was the perfect way
to renew body and spirit.
Refreshed, I then noticed a weird thing
about women's eyebrows in the airport. It may have been tiredness, fatigue can make you see things in an odd way. After all, there is a
reason they use sleep deprivation to torture and break people! Women seemed to have done crazy stuff with
their eyebrows here. They look as if
they have been shaven off and then drawn on again in ludicrous positions on
their face. It can be forgiven in the
elderly, after all mistakes can happen but this seemed too common and widespread
to be explained in terms of creeping senility.
No, this appears to be deliberate.
The eyebrows are square and horizontal as if underlying their brows or
shaped like demented brackets over the eyes.
Perhaps this is thought of as an artful
way to draw attention to a perceived asset?
The more I encountered the more it felt like every female in the airport
had contrived to frighten a tired and sleep deprived Colette. This was surely the way madness begins.
