gah!
My mom called me yesterday to tell me a little story.
She was getting ready for work and putting on her makeup. She has one of those newer styles of eyelash curlers, plastic with a spring, you just squeeze it and it does all the work. Well, it did something unusual, she said something about the spring boinging, and when the pain subsided, she looked up…and…and…
she had no eyelashes. The dang thing had pulled them all out! It makes my eyes water to think about it. I have to admit that it made me laugh a little bit to picture my mom with no eyelashes on one eye but the thought of the pain made me think how awful it would be to have all of your eyelashes yanked out at once. I don’t know how quickly eyelashes grow back, let’s hope it is quick.

That is just too freakin funny!! You can’t help but laugh. Poor woman! Really, who invented the eyelash curler anyway?!! And, WHY do people think it’s a good idea to use it?!
No way! Holy cow, that had to HURT. Your poor mom!
That could be a new form of torture. Ouch. Which is why I do not use those. It is not because I am lazy. No way.
I had some friends wake up in college after a night of heavy drinking with no eyebrows, but that is not quite the same thing…
Poor scraggly-eyelashed people like me have to use them for anyone to see their lashes. I was thinking it would make for a good torture device too. Yeah, that would have to be painful, my eyes water every time I think about it, just one lash getting pulled out stings. And so does pinching your eyelid in the dang things too.
BTW, Heather, it’s the Avon curler that did it, if you own any you should throw them away. It didn’t work for me and pinched me, so I tossed mine a while back. Needless to say, I was extra careful when I did my lashes this morning, even though that’s not the same type of lash curler.
Chris, that is WAY funnier. And much less painless.
omg! Don’t lashes take an extra long time to grow? Yeowtch.
I have puny, sparse, pathetic eyelashes. But on the rare chance that I ever use makeup, I use mascara and call it good. The idea of a contraption of any kind so close to my eyes is freaky to me, and you’ve just given me all the confirmation I needed to stay the heck away from those curler thingies.
WTF? OMG! LOL! ouch.
OUCH! I always make comments to Janet about those things. They freak me out. Can’t wait to tell her. Hope your mom is ok!
