They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Eyebrow Removal! Controversy! Update!


So you all probably remember this little romp in the Internet hay from last week, wherein Brandon had one of his eyebrows completely removed, and much was made of whether or not such a procedure would heal properly. Well, the preliminary results are in! The above image is after one week, and after the jump, check out three weeks’ worth of progress.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated as the healing continues.

    I’m impressed with the lack of raised scarring. With such a wide cute I was assumming he’d be left with a heavily keloided scar. As Brian said though, it’s still early. But impressive so far.

    velma_kelly: I would be impressed if there’d be raised scarring considering it’s only few weeks old. That usually comes later. It’s “healed” but nowhere near “done”.
