Trend Spotting: LED Eyelashes

Trend Spotting: LED (light up) Eyelashes!!
These are so sci-fi and something I would expect to see on Tron, Avatar, or the latest Lady Gaga video!

 LED Eyelashes....Would You Wear These?

As someone who loves anything that lights up (I've been playing with fiber optic hair pieces for years) these excite me. I could definitely see myself indulging in these uber-cool, whimsical accessories. These would be great for Halloween  or to add a little illumination to any "dress up"occasion!

Just think-you wouldn't need a flashlight to find your keys or a book light to read by at night.

These were created by artist Soomi Park... the LED Eyelash project is brought into the world from a simple question:

Why do women want larger and bigger eyes?

   Sometimes, the desire for bigger eyes can become almost obsessive, and many women opt for plastic surgery in order to make their dream come true. Soomi calls this, the fetish of Big Eyes.

LED Eyelash is a clever product that features an inclination sensor with mercury to turn on and/or off. The sensor can perceive the movements of the pupil in the eyes and eyelids. If you wear it and move your head, LED Eyelash will flicker following your movements. It is as simple to use as wearing false eyelashes and as easy to remove as taking off a piece of jewelry. (I wonder if they would create a glare for people who wear contacts lol)


Here's a video showing them in action to the most adorable song.

Hope you're having a whimsical sunday and here's to finding new ways to illuminate your life!
