Hi Simon, Mine is a resized version of this one here. I think that's where I got it, anyway...

Hi,

Where did you get your Gil? (Your icon on the Guardian website)?

I have one too but he dances!

It’s strange how I came by him, but I think he was made by someone in Austin, Texas for a Sci-Fi Film festival, it would be interesting to know where you found yours!

Proof they couldn’t get the conga right either

Comment on Great Eyebrows of our Time by kate

I am heartened that the ‘Connelly’ brow has been given due recognition and thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was recently the victim of an unprovoked and savage attack upon my brows (which had been, prior to the butchery, not entirely dissimilar to Ms Connelly’s) by an expert in the art of Threading. Threading involves yanking out the hairs using a reel of cotton. More than that, I can’t tell you as I had my eyes tightly closed at the time. More fool me. An expert in threading she undoubtedly was, but an expert in ’styling the brow’, she was most certainly not. I came out of this London salon looking less Connelly and more Pierrot The Clown circa 1970; a resemblance not helped by having extremely buggy red eyes from crying all the way back home to my little pad in Surrey. The devastating execution of her judgment (which she appeared inappropriately proud of), to remove all but a single file line of hairs, was based on an absolute prejudice against a full brow. You’ll be relieved to hear my eyebrows have grown back although the experience has left me understandably shaken and wary of cotton reels.

I don’t feel that, in the modern world today, a man with scintillating wit such as yourself should need to concern himself with the tedium of conventional flirting. Certainly if I was a laydee (sic), the second point would have me weak at the knees with anticipation. The third however would probably have put me in a more introspective mood, fraught with concern for the poor bees.

It’s not Handa, I’d remember a name like that; I forget where it actually is though. Judging by the order of my photos it has to be somewhere on the Orkney mainland.

And yes, I’m pretty sure we did see some genuine skuas, although perhaps not quite as many as were claimed at the time. Fortunately they just gave us the evil eye and occasionally went “arrk.” I’m not sure I would’ve got out of the car if I’d known about the divebombing.
