Debbie Harry is Raising Eyebrows By Not Having Any

If you pay attention to the latest fashion and beauty trends, then you may already know that no eyebrows is the look du jour.

And we're not talking thin and penciled-in either. These are plucked-down-to-every-last-hair or bleached-til-they're-invisible brows (if you can still call them that).

Exhibit A: Debbie Harry (above). She was just seen sans brows at a Blondie concert in New Jersey.

Was Harry following inspired by the no-brow look recently spotted on runways from Balenciaga to Prada? Or in recent ad campaigns for luxe labels like Givenchy?

"It is a fantastic look," The New York Times quoted makeup artist Mindy Hall as saying. "On the right face, it's gorgeous. On the wrong face shape, it's not so ... You wouldn't use the word 'gorgeous' for it."

What do you think? Does Harry have the right face?

To brow or not to brow? That is the question. Leave a comment and vote in our poll.

If you don't find less to be more, check out the alternative -- the full-on, bushy brow à la Brooke Shields back in the day.

Love her, but the no eyebrows thing gives back the 15 or so years so she normally hides so well =[

I have never been a morning person. That does not work out too well when you have to get 3 kids ready for school in the morning. I have been a regular user of multi-vitamin packs and energy drinks for some time now. I really hated the "burn out" from the drinks and taking the vitamins alone really did not do much for me. I started taking Resveratrol Pills http://cli.gs/RezV and I now love getting up in the morning and have the extra energy to exercise while the kids are in school. So I am a "skinnier" morning person too. I am so glad I found this ultimate supplement: http://cli.gs/RezV

Once upon a time, she was a beautiful woman. Now, not so much. This "no eyebrows" fad is not gorgeous, it's hideous.

After a certain age they won't grow back, so I hope she likes the look because unless she uses a brow pencil, those pups aren't going to return.

At my age of 90, I find that my eyebrows are becoming gray in color. I really need the help of makeup artist Mindy Hall. Mindy, call me and we can meet at the Carnegie Deli.

Why in the world should anyone be surprised when people with money and too much time on their hands
do these freak show stunts? "Hey, my name hasn't been in the news in a while. I know! I'll shave my eye brows off!!!"
The results of too much free time and WAY too many drugs....

Eyebrows define the eye... Without them, the eyes and face look vacant or sickly. Eyebrows help the face to look alive and give the face personality.

The models and Deboral Harry looks older, non-reconizable, and sickly. Unfortunately, the no eyebrow look is also the look of some people on chemo. If Deborah Harry was doing it to bond with people on chemo, or was sick herself, I'd say go for it and applaud her. As a fashion statement, it looks ridiculous.

She's another weirdo -- just like Linsay Lohan.
No one in their right mind who care about their appearance would take off their eyebrows. Debbie, wake up and smell the coffee!!!

This is not a good look for her. The only person to date that the no eye brows tends to work for is Whoopi Goldberg.

Isn't there a way to ban people that post ads?

Two weeks ago AOL ran a segment that fuller brows are in, now no brows? Sadly, this looks like someone going through chemo.

I hope people pass on this fad.

Next trend: stapling pubic hair to your head to replace the eyebrows you shaved off. I've always loved Debbie Harry, but she looked better with brows. "Your hair is beautiful." --Blondie, Atomic

My eyebrows fell out after chemo and never grew back. Who cares. I'm still here and loving it.
