The Fake Eye Lashes

What is it about fake eye lashes that appeal to women so much these days? I don’t know how men view them but I find them rather off-putting. How can a woman look sexy and alluring with obviously fake, long and thick eye lashes resting on their cheeks? Honestly, I think they look kind of scary.

I was watching The Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt last night. That’s one of the rare occasions where I actually managed to finish not one episode but two episodes back to back. Anyway, something kept bugging me as I stayed glued to the idiot box. I couldn’t place it at first but then I realized it was Jennifer Love Hewitt’s fake eye lashes!

I’ve always thought she was a natural beauty. But why on Earth did she have to stick such thick and long fake eye lashes? She is pretty enough. Just a hint of mascara or something shorter and thinner would have worked wonderfully on her. But no, she had to pick the bazookas of eye lashes.

They were a huge distraction. And there were lots of close-ups of her in the show (since she’s supposed to be displaying all kinds of emotions as the psychic who can communicate with the dead). And each time there was a close-up, I lost the conversation!

Her character even slept with the fake stuff on! Of course, she also slept with fresh make-up on. Totally unrealistic!

Is that what fake eye lashes are supposed to do? To distract men until nothing seems coherent anymore? Well if that is so, they certainly are working very well. I know I am distracted!
