Forget about the traditional Easter bonnet. Today is the day to try out the Peeptastic<\/a> pastel eyebrows seen on the Balenciaga runway<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

When I saw the Balenciaga pictures, I immediately thought of my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and her gorgeous sister Stephanie Baby.\u00a0 No, their last name isn’t really “Baby.” I just call them that. My sister Terri<\/a>‘s last name isn’t Berry either. That’s just a nickname. Anyway, in 1999 or so, I was hanging out downtown with Kara Baby when she suddenly said, “Look, here comes my sister with her purple eyebrows.” And sure enough, there was a hot chick with purple eyebrows courtesy of Make Up For Ever<\/a> eyeshadow. Stephanie didn’t limit herself to purple. Here’s a picture of her wearing red eyebrows from Allure’s August 1999 story about the introduction of Tommy Hilfiger’s makeup line.<\/p>\n

The Balenciaga show isn’t the first time someone has jacked Stephanie Baby’s eyebrow style.\u00a0 StephanieB points the finger at Britney Spears and her wig-matching red brows in the 2004 Toxic video.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Baby isn’t being paranoid and I’m not being biased due to past experience<\/a>. Stephanie was bartending at Lit<\/a> in the East Village in October 2003 when a guy came in looking for “authentic NYC party people.” Stephanie’s friends’ reaction was, “Who is this creep?” but Stephanie herself thought, “Awesome! I’m a party person!” The video was shooting right down the street from where she lived in Long Island City — at Silvercup Studios<\/a> — so she rolled up in her usual sex-ay clothes and colored brows and wound up in the Me Against the Music<\/a> video that Britney made with Madonna. Stephanie never saw Madonna but said Britney hung out with everyone and even complimented Stephanie’s makeup. So it’s totally possible that two months later, when Britney was filming the Toxic video, she said, “Hey, red eyebrows would look cool.”<\/p>\n

Stephanie tells me you can see more of her in the “Making of…” video than in the video itself, so take a look for her here. I can’t see a thing because anytime I desperately need to watch something online, I get an attack of buffering<\/a>. Once, while I was attempting to watch CSI online, the video stopped and restarted so often that it took me two hours to get through 45 minutes of TV. That’s why you don’t find me watching TV online too often.<\/p>\n
