23: Billboard observations.
I keep forgetting to write about this funny little interchange that Joe and I had a while back, and then being reminded of it every time we drive past a certain billboard which spurred it on in the first place.
So, you’ve all seen the trashy billboards for stuff like “Exposed!” or “Hott Girls in Your Area!” right? Well, there’s this one in Joe’s parents’ city, which we seem to end up driving past almost every time we’re visiting them. It’s got a photo of a white girl with tons of makeup on, her boobs squished up so they look as enormous as possible, and penciled-on eyebrows that look something like this:
…only WORSE. More jagged, a lot thicker, and way darker than the color of her bleached-orange hair. And the girl’s expression is not inviting, or even the least bit coy. She looks downright pissed off.
So, whenever we pass by it, I always end up staring at this billboard thinking, WHO finds that look sexy?!
Enter Joe. One day, he catches me staring at the billboard while we’re at a stop light, and he says jokingly, “Are you considering a career change, honey?”
And with a completely straight face, I reply, “I don’t have the eyebrows for that kind of job.”
Perplexed, Joe just sits there looking at me, waiting for an explanation. So I said…
“And by eyebrows, I mean boobs.”
Joe busts up laughing at me, his hilariously witty wife, while I’m thinking, I really did mean eyebrows…but then again, the boob thing is true too.
Yep, I’m a keeper.

Anyone else baffled by the kinds of “poster girls” they use for their Gentlemen’s Club-type ads?
Ha.
Hilarious.
And yes, those ads are totally ridiculous. I don’t know why anyone would think that it’s attractive to have either eyebrows like that or looking pissed off.
Gah! That gives me the creeps!! Anytime I see pictures of girls like that all I can think is that I bet they smell like really, really cheap suntan oil- that sickly sweet coconut smell.
That, and STDs.
I don’t get the appeal either.
LOL! I used to do a little bit of modelling (NOT that kind!) and would always be astonished at my early film which was smiley and nice looking and then the end after the photog had told me to look more serious “because it was sexy”. I didn’t get it at all – I looked totally pissed off, but apparently that’s attractive?!
I had a neighbor who was one of those girls. Seeing her out doing yardwork with her eyebrow stubble because she had sweated of the penciled in ones. hot!!
Eww! That is so hilariously awkward.
and that’s why we love you. i cannot WAIT to meet you. seriously.
