I can’t say I’ve noticed women’s eyelashes that much, except in one case where the hostess of several legendary Brooklyn 1970s parties (yes, the jello-in-the-bathtub one) was wearing an outrageous pair of Betty Boop fake eyelashes, and once when I dated a woman who’d decimated hers with mascara… maybe it’s a part of the beauty process too subtle for us thick straight boys to appreciate?
But the people I’ve noticed eyelashes on the most tend to be under age five… part of big-eyed neoteny? In that respect, I guess I passed on some good genes.
| Posted 16 years, 1 month agoTo Bass Cat Lady and all the readers, I apologize for the delay in completing the mascara primer, especially if anybody’s in danger of “decimating” their eyelashes! (Mascara removal tips, I see, will also be an important part of the continuing story!) I’ve been spending some Pesach time with a lovely young lady whose eyelashes resemble rich sable fur, and, indeed, have since she was well under five, taking airplane rides on people’s feet. Our people do seem to pass on some rockin’ eyelash genes, BCL; maybe it’s something in the matzoh! Straight boys are as welcome as anyone else to share their relevant musings, by the way, especially greying punk rockers whose whole families we adore…
