Blink!

The whole fake eyelash craze? Yeah, I don't get it.

The other night I was watching American Idol (don't judge....) and one of the contestants had on eyelashes so long and so thick she could barely keep her eyes open. Her top lashes were particularly problematic. Curled and laden with mascara, they moved like an old-fashioned garage door, cantilevered and achingly slow to rise. 

As someone who often dons glasses, extended lashes are out of the question for me. Even my own natural pair occasionally brush against my lenses, both annoying and painful. 

I read the other day that Madonna purchased the most expensive set of eyelashes ever made. Designed by Shu Uemura, the diamond-encrusted pair cost over $10,000. 

Like I said, crazy right?
