The mono is back.
You can no longer deny its appeal, and remember, you heard it first at The Gnarly Fashionista.
It’s everywhere. The tiny pores that dot the top of your nose, building a previous bridge of hair invisibility betwixt your two definite eyebrows, are dying to blossom. And blossom they will!
In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s winter tomorrow. The monobrow is not only fashionable for the colder climate of 2010, it’s also so practical, you can no longer say ‘but jeez, it’s ugly.’ The extra hairage will keep you warm. Not only will you look like you’re at the pinnacle of the fashion echelon, you’ll be rewarded with a glowing comfort protector from the freezing breezes.
A balaclava or beanie will no longer be required. You’ll identify with fabulous fictional characters like werewolf Jacob Black, and you may even be admitted to some zoos of the world for nix!
What of the fashionistas in the Northern Hemisphere, starting their summer tomorrow? When you grow your mono-browet, everyone will be so envious of your trend-setting ingenuity, they won’t notice the sheen of sweat developing upon your upper lip, your underarm, or between your cleavage. In fact, the extra poreage, stimulated by the follicle growth of your monobrow will hasten the cooling down process, thus you will be cool, and cooler, than average!
The growing of the mono comes with added advantages. No more watery eyes when attempting to pluck stray hairs. No more sneezing when shaking fingers extract a tiny tuft. No more wailing from the squelchy bed of the local beautician establishment.
It’s fashion at its most natural. In order to really embrace this trend, it’s important to allow all the eyebrow follicles to flourish. Those beneath the brow deserve to bud, too, and they should be nurtured in order to allow the brow to reach its fashion potential. Try not to get distracted by the early, in between look. It’s merely a stage to be reckoned with, and with special care, grooming and time, very soon you’ll have the full, undiluted bush betwixt your brow.
Don’t be worried about the lack of celebrity participation at the moment. These trends need to develop momentum, and you”l find that just when Meryl, Pink, Rhianna, George, Robbie, Kylie, Madge and/or Fergie (either one) develop the monobrow, you’ll be SO over it.
Let’s hear from our experts:
Allison says: The monobrow is to die for! I’ve always adored the look and have embraced the concept since I turned 10 years old. It’s the way to go for the Australian winter, and I intend to start growing mine out immediately.
Gayle says: I wholeheartedly concur with the Gnarly Fashionista. She is the fashion doyen and guru.
Fiona says: Being light featured, I intend to dye my mono this winter, just to give the upper bridge of my nose a bit more character. I’m all about the conservation, too, so any extra heat generated from facial hair could be incorporated into solar paneling and water tankage.
You’ve heard it first at the GF, beyotches. Grow those hairs, fertilize those follicles, and make sure you watch ‘Sex and the City 2′ with your head tilted upwards just a tad. You don’t want your own brow to stop you getting ahead of the action.
Till next time. May your brow be high and plentiful. May pubic hairs always grow at your back…



*taps side of nose with index finger while giving a knowing look* Okay, I’m on board now. And I’ve got one name for you -- Frida Kahlo. Look her up. What an ambassador!
Frida is an excellent ambassador for the mono, my friend. Thank goodness you are embracing it. It will look mighty in the markets of the land, and in your area, where things grow naturally and wildly. Like rhubarb and non-Cadbury fundraisers.
Thanks for the nose taps. And the expert advice, bb. You are such a fashion guru.
My inspiration from a very young age was Bert from Sesame Street. What I still wouldn’t give for that hairy line of perfection…
Really, lady? I never knew. I thought you were going to dye ‘cuddle’ and transplant him onto your forehead! Hey, btw, was cuddle a male. Now that would be worth blogging, LoL
Thanks for your opinions, madam. You are a loyal follower of the Gnarly Fashionista, but you are not quite at her standard just yet.
you’ll get there. Love ya.
Cuddle was without gender and not to be mocked! I could never have contaminated Cuddle with dye or any sort of chemical preparation! Oh I miss Cuddle.
Hail, oh! Cuddle. I would never mock the asexual Cuddle, but it would be worth a bit of a blog now and then. Oh yes! We would never touch it with chemical preparations of any type.
Where is it? I think chicken has used it for cleaning. *hides*
LOL. Love how GF is not afraid to put it ‘out there’… we should ALL be so lucky. Not to mention the gazillion dollars better off you must be saving on beauty salon appts, sheesh!

GF is rocking the advice, love. For sure. Looking forward to seeing your eyebrows embrace the fullness look.
Travel safe and give squishes from me. Chat soon, I hope
Hehe…but it’s almost summer here. What does fashion dictate for this season? I suppose I’d better at least shave my legs?
Hey you.
Shaving legs is not necessary for your summer, bb. The mono will keep you cool, via sweating, and your leg fur will be cooling, and look bloody attractive. Hope you are well, dearest. Thanks for the visit and hope to chat sooooooon x
