On almost a daily basis strangers feel as if it is their God-given duty to inform me of my ethnicity.

“Ethiopian, right?” “You look very very Indian!” “Are you sure you’re not Trinny?” “You are 100% Dominican.”

These are all direct quotes. I swear on every beloved item in my closet.

Not to forsake my blackness, but I’ve decided to just give in to my faux exotical-ness. I’m tired of quipping “Nope, just regular Memphis black…” when cab drivers/bellhops/convenience store attendants regard me as their long-lost cousin.

So I’ve decided to pay homage to this forced cultural exchange and take my face…under the thread. While I love my Waxing WonderWoman at Mona Spa in Memphis, there is nada, لا شيء, कुछ नहीं like a fresh eyebrow threading. I told you I was jumpin’ feet first into this exotic thang!

With a floss-length piece of thread, these EyebrowExperts can tranform you from Robin Williams to Freida Pinto in less than ten minutes. I swear I did goo-goo faces in the mirror for an hour after my first threading experience at Atlanta’s Polished. And nearly every visit to the Spool Spa since has garnered equally face-altering results.

I know my new addiction will threaten my blackness only further. Buttt baby dolls, when beauty’s involved, I can only say “Jai ho!”
