Eyebrows were very important in the middle east prior to the
introduction of western beauty aesthetics ..... if they didn't
naturally meet just above the nose, women (and many men) stained their
eyebrows with indigo, and extended them to meet at the center in a
lovely double arch. There's a beautiful Qajar painting of a woman
where you can see the eyebrows (black) the blue indigo connection
between them, and a little tattoo just between the eyebrows, above the
nose ... so it was a graceful blue-black double arch with tiny tattoo
in the center. Very elegant. Indigo-stained eyebrows were praised
many times in descriptions of beautiful women ... by Sadi and others.

Those Qajar paintings and descriptions had made it back to England in
time for Victorian writers to take notice.........!

Full moon ... I try to release new material during a waxing moon and
edit and clean up during a waning moon ..... and do major digital
housekeeping during a mercury retrograde. Either that simply
organizes me into an ebb and flow of productivity .... or it really
works. Lord only knows which.
