Fake, self-conscious sexiness

Have you ever worn fake eyelashes? I haven't. Never. Ever. I don't even wear black mascara For the simple reason that I was pretty sure really dark eyelashes would make me look like I could hang out with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Turns out I was right.

This is my new sexy face. It's a keeper, huh?

My friend convinced me to put these cheap beauties on and then promised to pay for my dinner if I went out with them. It was pretty much like: Oh my gosh. Everyone's staring at me! Where's the corner? Sit in the corner! I can't believe you talked me into this.

  1. They look a little odd in the close-up, but they don't seem bad at all in the sexy face picture.

  6. Your sexy face *is* a keeper.

    I LOVE fake eyelashes and I wear them usually about once every two months for really special occasions. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM.

    They are a pain in the you know what to put on though and sometimes I get glue in my eyes *fail*

  7. I have never worn fake eyelashes either...I am always tempted on special occasions, like I don't know, say Halloween but then I am afraid they will make me look whoreish. You don't look whoreish with yours on. Did you feel whoreish though?

  8. Cjuen, RS, Bonnie, and Stocker: You all are too kind...which might mean that these pics don't accurately portray how truly horrific they looked.

    Caroline: The jokes about "my night job" were flying, let me tell you. Although one eye was droopier than the other, so I felt that though people might think I was a whore, they may at least think I was a very inexperienced one.
