#80- Wear fake eyelashes.

I did it. I went and got those fancy new permanent eyelashes. They are supposed to last a week and then you just get fills. The first day I LOVED them. The lady doing them said that my eyes are so big that it took a lot more of the little lashes to fill. Usually it is 16-18 she said mine were more like 25.
When I blinked it felt like I had some sort of fan attached to my lids. The cool thing was it gave me a very heavy lidded 50's look that I have always adored. The downside was after about 12 hours they were driving me crazy. By day three I was blinking like a mad woman.
When I tried to shower with them I didn't realize how they would collect water. I stepped under the stream of water and I was suddenly blind. I had to frantically reach around in the bathroom to get a towel that I could pinch dry my lashes allowing me to open my eyes again. You have to practically wear goggles when you shower with these things. It was like having sponge lids!
I went to my regular therapist appointment and she thought I was not being honest because I was blinking so wildly. She asked, "What are your eyes doing here?"
I realized that my massive blinking made me look all crazy eyed and had to explain my eyelash predicament. She thought it was funny.
By day 5 I was sitting in my cubicle, making calls and yanking them off one by one.

So much for permanent!

The reality is, I have naturally long, full and dark lashes, there really was no point. At least I still had all my real lashes after I yanked all the fakies off! I was terrified I was going to have bald eyelids! Would I do it again? NO WAY!

The photo is the only one I have of me with the lashes. I think I just look like I am wearing really heavy eye makeup.
