Her First Eyebrow Plucking

My younger daughter (12) gets her first eyebrow
plucking from her older sister (15) on the day before
the first day of school.

I shot this yesterday but posted it today because
she wanted to think about it before giving me her
permission to use this image.

I'm delighted with how it turned out and assured
her that people would see it as a very tender moment.

Great pictures tell a story and this is a great picture. The expression on her face tells it all. I can almost feel the pain.

I love being a guy. Shower, eat, sleep, reproduce, the end. None of this 10 minite bathroom stuff. :) Good shot.

OUCH!! Great capture Gary. Jim

Perfect. That expression is golden! But wow, plucked brows at 12!!!!!! Girls start so early these days. I think I ran around with brooke Shields brow until 21. I am 27 now and my eyebrows still look like garbage :-))))))))))))) Very fun photo! She'll love to see this years from now.

Great image! (Tip for your daughter: it's always best to do plucking right after she gets out of the shower, while her pores are still open. She/her sister won't have to "tug" as much then! :--)

Hahah, guinea-pig time! Looks painful, poor thing. Great shot

Hell, I was a senior before mine got plucked the first time. My Stp Mother decided she was tired of seeing my (very) bushy eyebrows. So, for my Senior Portrait, she plucked them. I was shocked, and totally pleased at the results! Well worth the pain.

this speaks well of your daughters' relationship with each other . . I hate to t hink what my sister and I would have done to each other . . .LOL!

Glad I dont have to go through that!

Ah, the pain.

Great shot Gary ... this certianly is a rite of passage for girls! I remember it well - but I did my own eyebrows, and I had the WORST time getting them balanced, to the point where I over plucked! It was not a pretty sight, lemme tell ya! \|:0)

Gary.. great photos! Makes me laugh as I not only remember my 2 daughters doing something similar.. but when we were teens, I was piercing my sister's ears and she almost fainted (her words). I told her if she did she'd have one pierced ear.. she straightned right up..LOL Sisters

I know that feeling so well. I started tweezing my eyebrows at 12 also. WOW did it hurt! But after a few months of maintaining them, it stopped hurting as much (only the first few hurt, the rest were fine) and my eyes were soo much more attractive with shapely brows. Tell her she's brave for allowing her sister to pluck them, and also to show a private moment. Beautiful girl. Have a good year at school!

Lovely image Gary, really tells a story.

Karen Leaf		24-Aug-2004 01:23
Oh my, I hurt for her! Tender moments, for a long time. Very brave of her to let you post. Hope you supplied some ice.

Excellent image Gary. Not sure I'd choose the word tender! Looks more like torture. But I am sure this ritual is big among teenage girls. Right now, before I get into any trouble, I'm getting the pluck out of here!

Oh yes, a very, very TENDER moment, believe me, and how long was she red for?? :-)
