Want to Look Like A Porcupine? Fashionistas In Japan Do

inventorspot.com — And they're starting with the eye lashes. Japanese designers are always on the cutting edge (no word yet on whether porcupine tails will follow)--& in this case, no joke, fluffed out, whiskery fake lashes are genuinely "hot." Perfect for the edgy new Tokyo club scene &, in desperate moments, for dusting, eye glass cleaning (even chimney sweeping?)

    • positron, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
    • palehorse864, on 10/09/2008, -1/+1It's the new Leonid Brezhnev look!
  • nahsrocketeer75, on 10/07/2008, -0/+23Those things must scare the daylights out of children.
    • WordsnCollision, on 10/07/2008, -0/+11Considering this is Japan, i'm assuming children are wearing them too.
    • bluezinc, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6I lived in my friends apartment in the middle of Shibuya, Tokyo for 2 weeks. Everyday was like Halloween. There are apparently a lot of local legends that wander around Shibuya looking weird or doing weird things as well as the many young people who are ultra-stylish in Tokyo terms (meaning weird as ***** to outsiders). Ganguro girls scare the crap out of me, they're like space clowns from the 7th ring of hell. Their skin is almost black, but their make-up is silver and yellow and blue and... well... any color that would burn itself into your retina.

      Tokyo fashion... there's nothing like it.
  • openthink, on 10/07/2008, -0/+26Elegant, stylish...and functional (you never know when you'll need a duster, furniture polisher, chimney sweeper)
  • WordsnCollision, on 10/07/2008, -0/+41Lighting a cigarette must be a real adventure.
  • 7FluidAH, on 10/07/2008, -1/+11Some things should never have caught on. Velour, bell-bottoms, leisure suits...porcupine eyelids.....
  • divinediva, on 10/07/2008, -0/+14eye-catching
    • WordsnCollision, on 10/07/2008, -1/+4Especially when you raise the car window.
    • Fatcheeseguy, on 10/08/2008, -4/+2Eye see what ewe did there.
      Sorry.
  • beermaker, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3eyelashes tickles... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees jejejejeje
  • MTessa, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7Add a set of the cat eye contact lenses and you have completed the effect.
  • allaboutdatiki, on 10/08/2008, -0/+11Holy cow ... it's that old dude from 60 Minutes ... no, not THAT old, dude ... the other one, no the OTHER one ... DID YOU EVER NOTICE?
  • fastfastlane, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6If you bat your eyelashes fast enough you could probably take off and fly
  • jlprosser, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3They remind me of catepillers!
  • LordofChaosIori, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3"It's not stupid! It's ADVANCEED!"
  • SugarCoatedSalt, on 10/08/2008, -2/+6no.
  • scoottie, on 10/08/2008, -3/+12DO NOT WANT!
  • przemeklach, on 10/08/2008, -13/+230,000 children die of starvation a day and people waste their time on stupid ***** like this. Way to go humans, everyday I am more disgusted at being one of your race.
    • bluezinc, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10Then kill yourself and let us enjoy our funny picture.
    • peaceninja, on 10/09/2008, -0/+6be careful, your comment will one day be featured in a Crack article titled "Top 8 Most Annoying People Who Comment in Forums". Your comment will be in the "Most Self Righteous" section.
    • liquisoft, on 10/09/2008, -1/+2I don't think that people who sell ridiculous eyebrow styles have any ability to do anything about starving children. Not because of a lack of money, but because they're idiots. Would somebody who isn't an idiot waste time on selling eyebrows like this?
      • saltydawkins, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2The seller isn't the idiot in this scenario - that's the consumer's role.
  • StumpHarvey, on 10/08/2008, -1/+7All of this in lieu of their new found love for Fraggle Rock Porn
  • mkamal, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6Sugoi!
  • mitzuzake, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6I'm waiting for matching nose-hair extensions.
  • navyrain, on 10/08/2008, -1/+3I like it
  • uglypercy, on 10/08/2008, -1/+1God bless anyone who invents something truly new.
    • Inohavehalos, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Like a disease.

      Maybe thats why we say "god bless you" when someone gets sick or sneezes. We're blessing that new disease created, right?
      • SIRBERUS, on 10/09/2008, -3/+3No, we say "god bless you" because in the olden days, people believed that you could literally die from a sneeze, so it was considered courteous and respectful to ask god to bless someone who was apparently dying.
      • matt.rubin, on 10/09/2008, -2/+2he was joking but it goes back to the plague when people were dieing out right. WHen they sneezed they thought the had the black plague.
      • Inohavehalos, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the history lesson guys.

        But anyone who has ever visited cracked.com could tell you that.
  • alexanEmpire, on 10/08/2008, -2/+2Let me tell you about a porcupine's balls! They're small, they don't give a *****!
  • Inohavehalos, on 10/08/2008, -0/+14http://80srewind.net/80s/images/childabuse.jpg

    Yeah. Remember this? Those eyelashes don't seem that ridiculous anymore, do they? :P
  • TheSkunkMonkey, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3Two words:

    Sack Ticklers
  • gothelium, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4They're still better than some of the "fashionable" sunglasses out there..
  • matt.rubin, on 10/09/2008, -1/+1does this work on pubic hair?

  • spacerobot, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2I see this all the time when I walk by the Senior Center.
  • Residents, on 10/09/2008, -2/+2I'm happy with the trend of having less hair on a female. I mean even a 70's porn can be scary, this is like transferring a 70's porn onto your face.
  • Sterango, on 10/09/2008, -12/+2***** japan.
  • wilsondus, on 10/09/2008, -3/+2so.... she can tickle my tummy with her eyelashes while she's...
  • zardoz73, on 10/09/2008, -0/+12Before everybody goes all ZOMG JAPANZLOL!!!, know that nobody in Japan is *really* doing this. It must be very niche, and I regularly go to Shibuya for work, exactly the place in Tokyo that you would see this, and I never have.
    • NomortaL1, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3i live in tokyo as well and visit shibuya often, never seen this stuff before
    • pyrobaby, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1Osaka digger here - none of this over on this side of Japan, either.

      Although to be fair a lot of girls here are ***** with mascara and have the "tarantula" thing going on on purpose...

  • sklter84, on 10/09/2008, -2/+4Why do digg articles always take a single instance of something and apply it to an entire race or culture? Oh right racism.
