Beastly Beauty: Fly-Legged Falsies

Posted by Nikki | Tuesday August 10, 2010

One of the creepiest beauty innovations we’ve seen in a while - fly leg eyelashes. Yes. Real fly legs that attach to your eyelid.

While grotesquely fascinated by the idea, our first thoughts were:

(1) this can’t be sanitary

(2) they don’t even look attractive

(3) Why do the fly legs have to be real? Faux fly legs may have been a better idea (and only as a Halloween accessory at that).

The Fly-Lash was designed by a young British artist, Jessica Harrison, who had the desire to design her very own set of fake lashes made entirely out of fly’s legs.

Jessica, we give you points for creativity, but we just can’t imagine anyone trying these!

Your thoughts?

She's an artist and was probably fiddling around to see if it could be done and what it would look like. My cousin is an artist and makes all kinds of weird stuff - nothing that comes close to these though!
