What thoughts does such a beautiful head hold?
  • "Was it Napolean who said 'Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever'?"
  • "What am I, an armchair? Get your elbow off of my leg!"
  • "Do I look fat?"

    The above photos are from the January 2001 issue of Marie Claire. (Go behind-the-scenes on this photo shoot.) What is Marie Claire? A total chick magazine. This month's topics include "What makes a woman great in bed" and "Intuition, use it to get what you want." Thanks to Marie Claire, I am getting in touch with my feminine side. Resolution for the upcoming new year: Get rid of my moustache, wear my belt in expressive new ways, and learn how to make my man give me everything I want!

    The first Marie Claire inspiration: pluck my eyebrows. All the models in the mag have such stylin' brows that I thought I'd try a little self-deforestation. The "before" shot shows you how things were in the unenlightened days. The "after" shot shows how a dead caterpillar will always look like a dead caterpillar. Pluck it more? I can't. I'm worried my helmet won't fit right if my eyebrows are too thin.
