an ode to threading...

So what is threading? I'm not talking about the act of creating threads like in forums and such..but a "mystical" form of eyebrow shaping. Many of you may know it but it seems like 90% of the people in my life that I mention it to look at me like I just spat out a word like googlymonwich. So for those 90% of you that are reading this and are still confused i suppose I could delve a little into what it is. I'm not sure on the specifics of where it started and all that, but i usually get it done by Indian women. So its an alternative to eyebrow waxing without all the hot wax, you simply need a long piece of thread. I dont even think it is any special type of thread..perhaps in the threading world there are different thread diameters but to me, it's just one long piece of thread. So the "threader" bits onto one end of the thread and keeps it bitten throughout out the process...and with the remainder of the thread she creates kind of like a scissor with which hair is plucked out. A good time for a visual perhaps....
