Better late than never - but in July I wasn't on Steemit yet! Great video from the world-record attempt:
On July 7, over a thousand people donned unibrows in honor of what would have been the 110th birthday of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. Their goal was to set the first Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed like the artist:

Her birthday party included dance and documentary presentations, complimentary makeovers and cake for all. For the evening's main event, the museum invited attendees to wear their best Frida garb to try to set a Guinness World Record in her honor, with the largest gathering of people dressed as the legendary artist.
