Why do we women do this to ourselves

On a whim, Summer, Dawn and I got our eyebrows (and upper lip, for me, due to the fact that "you have very long hairs on your face." I'm not offended, it was kinda true) threaded, which...it's kinda hard to describe, but it involves the attendant basically ninja'ing the hair out with regular thread twisted together.

The verdict? It made my eyes water and wasn't the most pleasant thing, but now I'm all smooth and my eyebrows are nicely shaped without being insanely skinny or with such an arch that I look constantly surprised. So yeah, I'd do it again.
