Thanksgiving in PR

I got a chance to step out of the hustle and bustle and go to Puerto Rico for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

There is something to be said for having the sun beat me into submission to the point that I am catatonic. It’s a feeling I live for after a heavy workload.

Now I won’t go on about my love for Puerto Rico since I’ve already done that in past posts over the years but, I will discuss the amazing fascination Puerto Rican men have with tweezing their eye brows.

I am dying to do a short documentary on why men tweeze or over tweeze their eyebrows. I’m fascinated. Some of these eyebrows are pencil thin and at the same time the guys look like macho gangsters. I don’t get it! Not that I need to get it, it is just my opinion, but it does seem like a riddle that’s dying to be solved.

How did it start? Who perpetuates it? Is it their girlfriends making suggestions? How is it decided that a pencil thin eyebrow is desirable? Do they think it looks feminine or masculine?

Maybe someone can explain the origin to me. If so, that person and I could do a quick documentary and submit it to Sundance Film Festival. What do you think?
