I read this week that humans shed over 30 metres of eyelashes in their lifetime. This is aggravating news because I have spent my entire life wanting my eyelashes to be longer than they are. I coat them in vaseline every night to protect them, and talk sweetly to them urging them to grow. My eyebrows and leg hair eavesdrop because they grow at the double, but the eyelashes just won’t listen.
I would definitely buy a Steriod Eyelash Toning Vitamin Enriched Growth Booster with Retinol Pro-peptides and Added Organic Minerals if there was one on the market, because Im worth it. I would like my lashes to be long enough to create a breeze when I blink – perfect for me - hot flush woman.
It’s unjust that nature often grants long lustrous lashes to men and babies who don’t need or appreciate them. I’ve been robbed.
But wait a minute , are you not the possessor of the ultimate cupid bow lips?
Come on Anna-May let’s not be greedy, give the rest of us a chance!
Your pout envy is quite understandable.

Does the vaseline thing work?
One of the girls here at work has the most amazing eyelashes – best the two you not meet as your eyelash envy could go into overdrive.
You should see my seven year old son’s lashes – you could use them as hammocks. They are tdf!
Even my 8 week old baby’s lashes are long. Or ‘sweepy’ as her Dad so sweetly puts it.
Yes, you’d have extreme lash envy round at our house, I’m afraid.
Hi Debbie, I agree I shouldn’t meet with your eyelash queen as hers might get tangled up with mine ! I’ve been using the vaseline method since I was 16 and I think I can safely say after 34 years of nightly application that no, it doesn’t work………
Hello Nuala, Hammocks ? It is so unjust. I rest my case. Boys and babies get great lashes when there are people out there who need them more. Boo hoo……..

Hi, Anna May!
I had trichotillomania when I was a wee thing – very strange, and my eyelashes grew back a bit on the stumpy side. Going to try the Vaseline and whispering sweet nothings. Anyway – wanted to say thanks for the article in Writers’ Forum – just self published my book “In The Blender” and am busy updating my website and my blog!
All the best –

Hi Anna May,
I’m not sure what the writer’s equivalent is of “break a leg” so break leg for tonight.

Thank you Debbie ! I am very worrried about what time I will get my dinner as I have to leave my house at 5 and won’t be back until 11……..If I faint during the proceedings it could be fear or it could be hunger.
