I'm sure you've all seen the adverts for the latest, greatest mascara?
Greatest because it makes your eyelashes look thicker and longer and presumably less like a half-sucked Mint Humbug that fell out of your mouth and rolled under the couch.
I dread to think of what these super-duper new-volumising-brush-shaped-like-a-cancer-cell products actually cost, but I should imagine it's well over £2.98!
Now, I know women are a bit, well... stupid when it comes to beauty products, but haven't any of you stopped and had a think about it all?
Allow me to switch the big light on for you:
NOBODY EVER LOOKED AT A WOMAN AND THOUGHT "WOW, HER EYELASHES ARE REALLY SHORT AND THIN - I WOULDN'T PUT MY WILLY ANYWHERE NEAR THAT!"
Nor will it stop a man falling in love with you, if you're the more ghey, idealistic type of woman.
And sticking false eyelashes on???
A couple of weeks ago I was forced into watching whatever crap that Jordan slapper is on these days, and to my ever-growing horror she was banging on about usually wearing FOUR sets of false lashes and didn't want to go for the more natural look of just two sets.
*blinks a few times*
Is it just yet another example of women going by what other women think men find attractive rather than what the men REALLY think?
Or is it just because all you women are, and pardon me if this is a bit rude, stark raving -ing mental?!?
