False Eyelashes II

So, these ones may have been just a little over-the-top!  I wore them to a really, big Christmas party.  The theme of the party was "The Greatest Show on Earth" with Burlesque entertainers wandering around, a freak show (which I didn't watch) and cabaret shows, so I think it was the right occasion to try them out.

I did have a 15 minute walk to the party.  It was windy, so I had to walk with my hands shielding my eyes to protect the eyelashes.  Which is perhaps why one fell off during the evening.  Next time I'll have to keep the eyelash glue in my handbag.

The dress was first blogged here.

False Eyelashes

My friends are often surprised when I don't sew a new dress for special occasions.  New dresses are fun, but it does seem a bit consumeristic to only wear them once or twice.   This year, I decided to add some sparkle to my Christmas outfits with my new, favourite accessory instead...false eyelashes. 

My local chemist has just started stocking the Napoleon Perdis range.  I thought that these green eyelashes were very Christmas-y.

Gotta love the self-portrait taken by holding the camera with outstretched arms and clicking.
