What's up with the vibrations? Everything seems to vibrate now; cell phones, face wash, toothbrushes, chairs, alarm clocks, pillows, even beds. Have we ever had a problem with the stability of inanimate objects before? Why the sudden need for pulse? Whoops, that was dirty. I just saw an advertisement on YouTube for a mascara that vibrates! Big make-up brands like Maybelline, Lancome and Estee Lauder carry it now. Apparently, the vibrations coat the hair on our eyelids with a more black than usual. It seems like marketers are waiting for a girl named Jane to turn to her friend and say, "You know, my eyelashes are never that fan-like. I've tried all different kinds but it's never as good as the advertisement. Maybe, it's the pulse that does the trick." Advertising professionals set us up because the alternative is that Jane's eyelashes cannot be like the lashes of the mascara model. This seems harder to stomach.

  1. Jane's eyelashes--NO ONE's eyelashes--will ever be like the model's, pulse or no. Those are fake eyelashes.
