I confess. I'm still totally into eyelashes. I never made the splurge on the Lavish Lashes deal, although I've been seriously tempted several times. A co-worker actually got eyelash extensions done in K-Town (aka Koreatown) a few weeks ago, and I have to admit I'm totally envious of her beautiful eyelashes that make her look fantastic even when it is pouring outside and everyone else looks like a drowned rat. She gave me the address and the price, but here's the problem. Usually, eyelash extensions can cost in the HUNDREDS of dollars for an application, and the place she went to only charged $90. Now, in this economy, you'd think that a bargain would be a good thing...but do I really want to have a bargain in my eye area? She looks amazing, but I'm just nervous. If the application process didn't involve surgical glue, I'd probably feel a little better about the whole idea of it.
So, I've begun to investigate fake eyelashes. But, why on earth would I find a reasonable deal on false eyelashes at a drugstore when I can set my sights on the fabulous false eyelashes by Shu Uemura. They have this absolutely GORGEOUS black smokey eye strip lash, that I'm totally into. I actually stare in the mirror and try to envision how I'd look with a total Twiggy-esque look...thin black liquid liner, dewy complexion, retro 60's pinkish gloss on the lips...
And Mommy has this special Shu Uemura toy - it's a special, specific false eyelash applicator tool. So you don't have to worry about poking yourself in the eye with tweezers. Of course the tool is twice the price of the lashes. And the lashes don't include applicator glue. So now, in order to do it right, between the Shu Falsies, the special lash toy, and the glue, I'll be spending $88. Whereas the eyelash extensions in K-town are $90. Some bargain, right?
What to do? What would you do?
Advice, please!

My friend and I were recently talking about how we as a society are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
