Subject: B-List: Arctic Images
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 09:41:48 +1030

It may be a holiday today, but after just enduring a 44° C day in
Adelaide last Saturday I think the following site is appropriate ...

Arctic Images
   < http://www.photography.is/ >

Picture Gallery
   < http://www.photography.is/picture_gallery/Picture_gallery.htm >
There are several galleries: Hot, Cool, Pure, Green, Open and Light.
Obviously I've chosen to highlight some photos from the "Cool" gallery:

Monobrow.com

Mission Statement:
  At Monobrow.com, we don't view having one eyebrow as a grotesque,
  freakish human deformity. On the contrary. We think you are special
  (and not the kind of special where you wear a helmet.) The kind of
  special where people look at the hairy, catipillar-like growth above
  your eyes and say, "Oh my God! What the hell is that thing?" You're
  not alone. Monobrow.com, celebrating the unity of your eyebrows.
