eye-opener...

just read this article about eyelash transplants, and it made me wonder:
are long, full eyelashes (or, at least, what they do for the eyes) the only characteristic of physical beauty that all cultures worldwide agree on?
some like skinny, some like fleshy, some like exposure, some like keeping assets under wraps, some like elongated necks and/or lips, some like bound feet, some like tattoos/scarring/piercings- the list of the various attributes that cultures and subcultures have found attractive and propagated through history is neverending, and the extremes that people (especially women) will undertake to achieve them never seem worth it to me. but are the eyes and the effect of eyelashes the one thing we all love? something that comes pain- and finance-free, or at least relatively cheap and easy for those who may not feel naturally blessed...
walk good.
