So here's a scenario. You're standing at the cash desk in Topshop about to spend another £50 that you don't have and you are doing everything you can not to make eye contact with the sales assistant. I don't know why, it just feels better that way. Like the girl behind the counter knows it's this or your bus fares for the week and If you don't look at anyone they can't guilt you with their eyes (is it just me that does this??) Anyway, you have just entered your pin and are praying that your card doesn't decline when you hear "Can I just say your hair is amazing??" Obviously you have to make eye contact now. So you blush and say "umm thanks" and just as you look up you are met with the most amazing eyebrows. Yes, eyebrows. Not really sure if it's socially acceptable to say "Oh my god your eyebrows are amazing, I'm so jealous!!" You pull a half in awe and half don't say it face, grab your bag and run.
Yes this really happened and yes her eyebrows were really that good. However is it ever ok to compliment a strangers eyebrows?? I couldn't help feeling like it would come out like I was either taking the piss or just frantically trying to think of a compliment to give her back. You probably can't understand why I would ever pay that much attention to eyebrows but they are my favourite part of a girls face. And yes, it is odd.
How ever as long as you don't find yourself screaming "I LOVE YOUR EYEBROWS!" in a strangers face you can probably just about get away with this strange obsession. Right??
I totally agree with you on the topshop thing, it is so hard to resist all the clothes :)
