Camp?

Making camp is highbrow.
Watching camp is middlebrow.

ooooh, look… thin ice!

Living camp is lowbrow.

(I’ll file my remark under Chutney’s call for snark.)

Don’t mind me, I’m just browsing.

Or should that be squeak?

So Chuts – get the feeling these comments have been hijacked yet?

*sniffle* I do not have a unibrow you big bully.

And Bert and Ernie are clearly gay. I *loved* watching them grow up, and since I turned out gay, I obviously learned it from them. I always expected Bert to offer to play with Ernie’s rubber ducky. Rawr.

At least they don’t let strollers upstairs at the Brickstore.

And here’s a quandary – how could Bert possibly be gay AND have a unibrow?

Now, really. Would Bert be Bert without a unibrow anymore than he’d be Bert without Ernie? I think not!

Danielle, surely you know the only thing Decaturites think is still hip about Decatur are all their strollers.

But having obnoxious staff is so cool! If you’d have asked them staff about that, I’m sure they would have told you…

No Unibrows! Ever! (In my best Faye Dunaway does Joan Crawford voice.)

But I guess if they come back, I’ll quit waxing. But until then, I’ll be seeing Christiana every month to keep everything in line {:-) (my unibrow emoticon is cute, no?)

and the post script: you will see me frequenting Decatur’s favorite independent coffee shop (Java Monkey, duh!), but not in the mornings because I had an indignant way-too-adult moment when I realized their morning staff was obnoxious, and at 7 a.m., I’d rather be greeted by, “Danielle, your grande iced caramel macchiato, extra caramel, is ready!” So sue me.

And my actual brows are lovely, thanks.

“But do you berate yourself for the Starbucks and wish you were at a local hole in the wall coffee shop instead? Because thatâ€™s the true mark of a UU hipster. ”

Oh god, I’m SO middlebrow…
