When we arrive at JFK on Thursday my friend Ragini picks us up and carts us off to the East Brunswick, New Jersey burbs to meet her mom and sister and to give us a good night's rest. The next day, after driving us around for a series of pre-trip big box errands, we go to her nearest "little India" for a tiny taste of what is to come.
"I need to get my brows done," I had told her earlier in the week.
"Great. There's a threading place we can go to. It's only three bucks. Or, there's another place nearby that's a little more. Maybe four bucks." Literally, only a little more.
When I tell Chris I'm getting my brows threaded, he asks how they do it.
"I think they take a needle and poke it through the top layer of your skin and the thread loops around the hairs. Then they yank the needle and pull it all out at once." This is a lie. I have no idea how threading works, but I'm pretty sure there's not really a needle involved.
Do you know how threading works? Regardless of the technical aspects, aesthetically, it works much better than waxing, and it's a good $16 cheaper. After the threading, I feel so India ready - having done as the Indians do. We all go eat some Indian food and then rush back to Ragini's house to get our luggage and go to the airport for the longest flight ever.
