DH has read this and told me not to play with my food.

I can't imagine what he means!

hmm. I can raise both eyebrows independently. I am told the right one looks enquiringly. The left one looks a bit Roger Moore as James Bond, a bit lascivious . Not sure if that's good. Or moves alphamale to post a bit more.

I trained myself to raise one eyebrow cos I wanted to look like Dana Scully from the XFiles.

oh that's good Creature. I'm not sure you can train the required nerves and tiny muscles involved to do the effect but good on you if you did it. Scully was uber cool for the time.

I taught myself to raise an eyebrow while shirking doing my prep at school about a thousand years ago. It might have been the most useful 90 minutes of my life

anyway. someone was about to explain something fascinating. I'm all ears! tell us, oh alpha one.

Hello ladies, a manly man here to tell you how to raise an eyebrow in that oh so saucy way you minxes . Place finger on eyebrow , push it up and down a few times while focusing on the muscles involved,
then practice . Worked for me when I was thirteen . Hope that helped girls.

I think Xenophile's DH has got the situation sussed. MNHQ have done the equivalent of when I rescue the mouse, release it in the garden and hope TuscanCat won't notice it's gone.

buffy, I held one eyebrow in place and made the other one do endless push-ups. I think I might also have sellotaped the non dominant one in place while I practiced but it is shrouded in the mists of time Grin

I trained myself when I was about 11 - I spent hours in front of the hall way mirror attempting to first isolate the muscles, then strengthening them. I can now do either on demand.

I haven't sussed my dad's awesome angry face though, where he kind of puts eyebrows up at the outer edges, whilst simultaneously frowning in the middle - it's very intimidating (even when done because I've asked him to show me)

Pffft Gin, you might be a 'manly man', but that pales into insignificance when stood beside an actual, factual ALPHA Male.

I wonder if he'll go and hunt a tasty mammoth while we ladies sit about digging up roots, collecting berries and taking the piss out of the Neanderthals in cave 4?
