"When you have short, stubby, lame excuses for lashes like me, you yearn for something better. Sure, I could go and get extensions (if they weren't so outrageously expensive). Or I could spend 30 minutes each day applying coat after coat of mascara (if I lived a life of leisure). Or, yes, I could just resign myself to the cold, hard fact that I have stumps for eyelashes. But I'm not one to just roll over and accept my shortcomings -- and that's why I've become somewhat of an expert on false lashes.
