Before I get into the Fashion Comedy Brunch, The picture ABOVE is Mr. Duke, who attended the event. If you look closely, brotha man cut off his eyebrows and tatooed the words CRYING FREEDOM on his eyebrows (CRY is on his right and FREEDOM is on his left). The story behind the "brow tatts" is was when he was on lockdown he tatooed the phrase CRY FREEDOM on his eyebrows to represent his desire to get out. He was very generous when I asked if I could take the pic. Good thing he did. Is this the new fashion trend? Ive never seen this in the STL! We will see.
