The Eye of the Beholder

Me, husband and friend J. went to Amsterdam yesterday to have lunch with friends A. and T. While we were waiting for the tram, we were looking at a billboard, which was an advert for L'Oreal Mascara and it featured a larger-than-life photo of Eva Longoria. The thing is that her eyelashes were obviously not just enhanced with L'Oreal Mascara. They were fake. Very fake.

Now don't get me wrong, I think Eva Longoria is quite a beautiful woman, in a more-packaging-than-content sort of way. But I cannot for the life of me come up with reasons why she, or anyone else for that matter, would want to walk around with a couple of dead caterpillars on her eyelids.

But while J. and I were discussing the morbidity of it all, husband made my day with his observation:

'Huh. She looks like a peacock!'

  1. Well.. I'll grant her she's a pretty peacock, but still a peacock she is.

    It was ofcourse an add for mascara, which explains the fake lashes. Don't want to mislead anyone thinking about buying the product now would we ;)
