Contacts... contact lenses... Japanese Anime Contact Lenses. :eek:

Quote:

Anyone who's seen Japanese comics, cartoon videos or anime art is instantly struck by the common look of the girls - big eyes that, by making the rest of the face look small, add the cuteness and sex appeal prized by many Japanese men. Since no amount of cosmetic surgery will make actual human eyes larger, some girls are trying another way to up their cute quotient: extra-wide contact lenses!

Either shopped, or they've used a model with extraordinarily big eyes anyway.
Further down the linked page is a picture of the lenses in a caucasian eye and they have nothing like the same effect.

On the website selling them, the three girls wearing them all have remarkable shaped eyes. It's a cynical marketing ploy to make the average Japanese girl think that it will somehow alter the shape of her eye. Same as women's razors always show incredibly long, smooth, tanned legs to make you think 5 minutes in the bath could have the same effect on you...

Now, that's the way to do it!

what happened to the good old days of using belladonna in the eyes?

From the country that brought you foot binding...

Sundae 08-12-2008 01:00 PM

China?

Clodfobble 08-12-2008 01:01 PM

No no, China practiced footbinding, Japan has the creepy eye fetish. You would be wise not to confuse either one for the other in their presence. :)

Whoops.

Its probably the itching keeping you from getting them straight Els.

My eyes are the perfect size, shape, and color I'll keep them the way they are, crazy-fanatics-who-are-always-trying-to-get-us-to-adapt-to-crazy-fanatic-standards, thank you very much.

I think it gives her that "Wait, you want me to do WHAT?!?" look.

I was thinking more along the lines of the NSFW WTF thread video of the two women, the funnel, and the fish. (If you haven't seen this and you go looking for it, don't blame me. I warned you.)
