Lash Extensions - IN; Cowboy Anything - OUT

A permanent fashion OUT, as in it never looks good so don't ever wear it, for me is cowboy anything. Cowboy boots, hats, shirts, anything and everything cowboy is O-U-T for Ji. I have tried to see the style in the cowboy look but I just do not get it. Actual cowboys are not even remotely stylish, nor attractive for that matter. Even when Madonna tried the look for her 'Music' album, it failed. And I'm a big fan of Madge. If anyone could make the cowboy thing look good, it would be Madge. But she didn't; it didn't; cowboy doesn't. 'Nuff said on this anti-fashion topic.

Now, a what could be permanent fashion IN would be the lash extensions that I was reading about in Vogue. (NB, I can't stand Vogue really and would never spend a hard earned cent on the mag. At the spa though, I'll read anything.) Apparently, we can now get falsies (lashes that is) added to our own lashes. Unlike regular false lashes though, these will last between four to six weeks!?! Could it be true? Every gal looks better with dramatic eyelashes. By the end of the article I was ready to leave the spa right away and head for the extensions. That is, until I read the cost. Three hundred bones and up! Gawd. And just like good color, you need to maintain the lashes. This could become yet another expensive addiction. Ji is trying to keep my boundaries on this one. I can not add another expensive routine to my maintenance schedule. Can I?

    Once again, I'll need to snatch the faux fendi in order to deliver a much needed wallop.

    Get the lashes and decide AFTER, whether or not it was worth it. God I'm getting so exhausted from having to harass you into being more stylish.

    Reach for your inner Ji...
