Never Is the Next New Thing

My New Catchphrase

by

I don’t like to tease anonymous peeps whose photos turn up online, but I have to make an exception for this woman’s mug shot because Dlisted’s item on her made me laugh out loud.


The following sentences are all great:

  • It’s strange, because she has office manager hair, but chola eyebrows.
  • It’s like she’s in chola recovery.
  • That is Sharpee dedication.
  • Assault with a deadly eyebrow?

But “Excuse her beauty” is definitely the winner. “Excuse my beauty” is going to be my new catchphrase. It works for almost any situation. If I sneeze? “Excuse my beauty!” Trying to push past a slow-moving tourist on Fifth Avenue? “Excuse my beauty!” That’s right. You better excuse my damn beauty! Or I’ll stab you with my eyebrow.

  1. I just saw that on D-Listed myself. Kind of scary. Wonder what she was arrested for. Probably fraud.

  3. Sadly most of my cousins on my dad’s side have eyebrows like that. It’s true…unfortunately. But ahaha maybe she got arrested for shoplifting more eyebrow pencils.

  4. Nothing unusual about her. Every other “impeccably glamorous” (according to the Guardian) woman in Russia wears eyebrows like that. You should definitely go and see for yourself 😉

  5. PS: there’s a well-known Russian joke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_joke) about that:
    a husband didn’t pay enough attention to his wife, she dyed her hair to become prettier – no reaction, she bought a new dress – no reaction, then the next day she puts on an emergency gas mask and asks him, “do you notice any changes?” – “ummm, have you plucked your eyebrows?”

  6. No way….those eyebrows are too much! OMG – and you won’t believe the word verification I’m about to type to publish this comment, it’s more than half the alphabet.

  8. I saw that too
    I never understood the whole drawing on your eyebrows like that, you can at least make them look natural. I knew so many girls that use to do that in high schoool, it looked terrible. That’s why I never really liked plucking mine, they are nice and bushy but at least they are real!

  9. I’m confused by the contrast between the unpreened hair and the over-preened eyebrows….

  11. She just needs the detachable nose, ears, eyes, and hair to go along with her Mr. Potato Head eyebrows.

  13. Ha!
    I love Dlisted.
    So funny!
    These drawn on eyebrows always fascinate me. Like, what do you do when you have a guy “sleepover” or something and you wake up in the morning with smudged brows?
    It’s the facial equivalent of those chicken cutlet breast things.

  15. Interesting. I’m wondering if that’s a photoshopped image….combining the forehead, hair, eyes, nose, lips, chin, and eyebrows from six different people to make a funny image?

  16. Olga, you have scared me off ever going to Russia. It sounds too much like my teenage years in New Jersey.

  18. yeah d-listed is funny, such sarcasm should be bottled. This made me laugh when I read it again, so you know it’s a keeper.

  19. All she’s missing is some thick lip liner and huge doorknocker earrings. Chongalicious, indeed.

  20. Oh yeah, she’s not a true chola without the earrings. Maybe her hair is hiding them. Or the cops confiscated them as weapons.

  24. i know you were working off another blog’s post, but holy heck YOUR bottom paragraph here made ME laugh out loud!

  26. dlisted is one of the few gossip rags I read on a regular basis. ‘Excuse my beauty’ should be the catch phrase of 2008.

  28. it would be funny if you said, “excuse my beauty,” while moving through a crowd and someone mistook what you were saying for, “excuse my booty.”

  29. Oh my, did D-listed just post a random persons mug shot…i’m afraid to even comment in the fear that i may be attacked by those eyebrows!
