Man, if white is hot, I'm Casanova.

Telegraph...The For total precision, you've got to try Japonesque, purveyors of tools used by serious make-up artists such as Bobbi Brown and Francois Nars (available from http://www.hqhair.com). I love Japonesque's Precision Lash Curler (�25.55), which is perfect for those who want to curl just one or two lashes in the outer corners - just my kind of detail.

Must be all the practice while riding the trains...

Makeup on the trains is odd, but it's the Japanese doing eyelash curling in the moving train car gives me the willies.


See Japan Today's Popvox, December 12, 2003:
What do you think about women putting on their makeup on the train?

I saw a girl PLUKING HER EYEBROWS on the tokaido line Between Yokohama and Tokyo. Now that train goes damn fast, i have no idea how she managed not to stab herself.

I took the Tokaido line between Yokohama and Tokyo to work for 15 years. Nearly everyday I saw death-defying eye makeup, nosehair plucking, and better.
My favorite adventure-in-makeup was telling an OL the bad news about her eye tape and then watching her repair on the bouncing Tokaido---a true Japanese Makeup Lesson in Eye Torture.
