Ice-cream wrestling and eyebrow-plucking

Who says they learn nothing new when reading newspapers? Last week the Daily Mail revealed the existence of an occupation I'd never heard of. The mother of one of the youths convicted of murdering Garry Newlove in Warrington, one Janet Cunliffe, was said to be "an ice-cream wrestler".

The Mail helpfully explained that it is "a bizarre sport where scantily-clad women wrestle in ice- cream in front of male onlookers in bars across the North West." Unsurprisingly, this moved Richard Littlejohn to make one of his familiar "call me old fashioned, but..." comments.

He may well raise his eyebrows again if he turns to today's Mail on Sunday You magazine, where we are introduced to yet another little-known occupation: eyebrow guru. Called Shavata, she offers us this riveting tip: "Never try to make your eyebrows identical - your eyebrows are sisters, not twins."

For those who want more of her plucking advice, Shavata's website can be found here.
