eyelashes are not bugs

today we have Padme…

So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they’re actually decently long, they just don’t look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I tend to look like a deer in headlights when I don’t wear them. Go back and look at some of my really old costume pics and you’ll see what I mean. LOL.
So anyway, that means I have a lot of eyelashes hanging around. I try to keep and reuse them, but inevitably I lose one and they get tangled together. Sometimes I get home and forget to take them off until I go to bed, so I pull them off and put them on my nightstand. Then they fall, and I see them on the floor and think its a bug and freak out. Or I put it on my dresser then see them a few days later and think it’s a bug and freak out. Or it gets stuck to my toothbrush and… you get the idea.
Anyway, my point is I’ve come up with an idea for keeping them from freaking me out or getting lost – one of those daily pill containers (the ones with a separate section for each day of the week). I’m picking up one this weekend to start keeping them in. I think it’ll work out much better than freaking out every time I see one laying around.
