Esthetically Challenged



So anyway, this picture is from March 30, 1990. The day before Andrea and Brian McCullough got married. I've always liked the pic even though it looks like I still needed a couple of years before I grew into my teeth. I had no other complaints about the picture; I had no wrinkles, I liked that suit, I have a handsome guy beside me and I loved that Timex watch. 18 years later this bliss is shattered with one breathless statement:

As Landon points to the picture he exclaims "that's my DAD..in an AIRPLANE" (actually a little Mercedes convertible belonging to Tim McCandless) It takes him a second but he finally realizes that's me beside Dad. He says with equal amounts of disbelief: "And that's YOU Mom!" "Look at your eyebrows...they look ANGRY". hahaha. I actually look quite happy in the picture, thank you. But yes, the eyebrows were an issue. Sadly, it would still be a few years before I realized that tweezers had a place in my life. So, share the beauty tips now so this kind of shock and dismay can be prevented in the future. Please. Just not in the comments section.
