In an increasingly disturbing trend, Asia-Pacific has spawned another wacky beauty device for eyelashes. First it was the USB powered eyelash curler. Now it’s light-up eyelashes (see the picture courtesy of Inventorspot.com).
Each lash is attached to a thin wire that runs along the wearer’s temples to power source and mercury switch that toggles the lights on and off based on the movement of your head, I guess. Gee, that Sounds really comfortable, doesn’t it?
I just have to ask – who would wear something this goofy?

Ravers?
I agree with Jami. Also…you remember all of those crazy, futuristic 80s movies? This reminds me of them. Totally.
I don’t think so. It’s silly and it doesn’t seem safe. I could see party goers wearing this.
THe light would be too bright. Ouch!
Lady Gaga?
I think they’re cool looking and the woman wearing them is quite pretty.
See, I don’t think they’re cool at all. All I can think of is the long term damage they’ll do shining/blinking in someone’s eyes for hours on end. Plus the distraction they’ll be to the wearer when in traffic be they on foot, bike, or driving car.
I can’t judge if the woman’s attractive or not as she’s holding her head in the “I’m taking a picture of myself for MySpace” way, which is never flattering. It currently makes her nose look so big it could easily be a man’s nose. However, when her picture is taken at a normal angle she could be a complete knock out. I wouldn’t know at this point.
I’m afraid it would be too harmful in the eyes, what about the radiation?
I’m pretty sure that I saw these in Blade Runner. Of course that was 1982 or so.
