Here is an interview with Greta Von Hurstenberg, Nancy Pelosi’s Makeup artist:
Q: What everybody wants to know about is the eyebrows.
A: Yeah (sighs). Those are her eyebrows. Really. I should know.
Q: Up high on the forehead like that?
A: She was born that way. Trust me. I suggested that we shave them and paint on eyebrows lower down. Uh, uh.
Q: Squeamish about being shaved?
A: Not about being shaved. She said moving her eyebrows would betray voters’ trust.
Q: San Francisco voters? They wouldn’t care about shaved eyebrows. Everybody there shaves their eyebrows.
A: I think it was a national thing. You know, what would they say in Texas or Nebraska? It’s about learning to trust Democrats.
Q: What about what they might say in Washington?
A: That’ not a problem.
Q: Really? How come?
A: Everybody in Washington politics shaves their eyebrows.
Q: Everybody?
A: Trust me, I should know. Ask any makeup artist who works politics in this town.
Q: So you have clients who shave their eyebrows?
A: Everybody does.
Q: Any names I might recognize?
A: I can’t go there.
Q: The president? Tell me not the president. Please.
A: I can’t go there.
Q: Cheney?
A: You want me to end up in Guantanamo?
Q: Is that a yes?
A: I can’t go there. I wouldn’t do well in Guantanamo.
Q: O.K. Let’s get back to Speaker Pelosi. Don’t you think she looks a little odd?
A: You think Speaker Hastert didn’t look a little odd?
Q: Are you saying he shaves his eyebrows?
A: Look, sooner or later the Republicans will be back on top in this town. So I just can’t go there, O.K.?
