I want to know what the heck happens if you use that stuff with contact lenses… My eyes are in pain at the very thought.

Well shit, why can’t they come up with a disease in which a symptom is small boobs??? Why can’t insurance cover lipo and implants while we’re at it??? If that patriarchy is in such dire need of plastic beauty why don’t they just have insurance cover it??? I would love to have men drool over me just so I could put a big stomp on their oh so awesome dick!

My boyfriend has to take eye drops for glaucoma. The warning on the box says isomething like “accelerated eye lash growth and darkening of the iris may result”. Well, my boyfriend’s lashes, which had been scanty and blond, got dark and so thick and long that they curled up on his glasses. The stuff also turned his hazel eyes blue!

I said to him that some women might try to get this stuff on the black market to make their lashes longer. Well, they don’t have to get it that way now, do they? What nobody has figured into this is that the stuff loses its effectiveness after several months. My boyfriend has been using this now for eight months consistently and his lashes are back to normal. But his once pale hazel eyes are still sky blue.

“This product campaign is just evil. It preys upon women’s insecurities in the most disgusting of ways, creates insane expectations that can’t be met, then hoses women out of huge sums of money.”

AHHH it’s NOT just me! WONDERFUL! I first saw this crap and thought, like you did, that it was a joke. um what? So breast cancer is killing women daily but you got time to research THIS SHIT? Thanks.

It DOES prey on women’s insecurities and not only that, but for straight women, is it understood that men don’t really give a shit whether your eye lashes are 5 cm or 1 inch? and if they do, why do we give a fuck? I hate this product, and we’ll probably find out later that it causes skin or eye cancer or some other madness. ugh!

Latisse is officially the new Flomax.

Apropos of nothing, but I just saw a Flomax commercial stating that one of the possible side effects is “runny nose.”

So it won’t clear up *all* of my weak streams? Shame.

I don’t understand. At all. Aside from the weird/creepy/what the fuck aspect of this, there’s the practicality issue. If your plan really is to lengthen and thicken your eyelashes, why the hell would you turn to this? You have to apply it every day, which you would do with mascara (or false eyelashes) anyway. It’s not permanent (well, except for the skin and eye altering discolouration), which means it has no benefits over mascara/falsies at all. It’s super goddamn expensive, and if you were willing to spend that, you could pay for good quality mascara/falsies for that anyway. And it discolours your goddamn flesh. Smudges being a common complaint of cheap mascara anyway, I don’t see how they’re even marketing this shit, which costs so much more. Scary example of how something that makes no goddamn sense is made to appear not only logical, but desirable, by the media.

Well anyway, I checked out the article you mentioned (first time I’ve read something from Playboy, actually) & it was fairly good. Idk about any extrapolations, but thanks for the tip.

As for the acrimony, I believe you will find that you mentioned porn first (along with fashion). But sorry if I annoyed you.

you know what ? since no matter what i write, you are going to keep writing about porn– based on one small reference i made which i cited and tied into the culture-at-large — i’m outta here. you aren’t replying to me. you are whacking away at some invisible straw man.
