    When I worked for the eye MD we had a girl that tried to curl her eyelashes with a curling iron I'll bet that is where that warning came from!


    She really did a number on her eye too! Her answer as to 'why'?........"Well my girlfriend said she did it to get curly eyelashes."

    Oh, and if your girlfriend jumps off a bridge, will you follow, too???!!!!
