Ep. 30: Brows & Bombshells
We're back! And I swear there's a method to our non-sequitur topics this month. We're starting off with eyebrows, those face-defining fuzzy bits, and talking about how eyebrows changed through mid-century Canada. Taking our cue from the era, Steph sorted through miles of old Chatelaine magazine issues to find out a) who's wearing those eyebrows and b) what they're eating. The answer to the former is very glamorous and the answer to the second is really not.
