This gay guy needs some straight guy help. I can't get my imagination around this sign at the spa next door.
From your vast straight guy body of female knowledge, what do "eyelash extensions" entail?
Like most gay men, I know a lot from women. Not necessarily about women, but from them. There's a difference, though my friend Kiki always notes that my perspectives on women's shoes prove that a gay guy is a girl's best friend.
Anyway, no female in my address book has ever talked about extending her eyelashes. So, SG, readers, anyone, please how does this work? Are longer lashes glued in between your own shorter ones? Are they growing off to the side? If they truly extend, how? Surely they can't be braided in like hair extensions.
For $99, you should be able to get a caterpillar.
To keep the gay quotient up, the sign sends me into song:
"Like a filly who is ready for a race
When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curls
I float like the clouds on air do
I enjoy being a girl"
"I Enjoy Being a Girl" is sadly one of the few songs readily known from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song.

Song reference: Not unlike "They Call the Wind Mariah" from Paint Your Wagon - my go-to movie when I'm home sick, which I am today.
Eyelashes: Got no clue. Women seem to obsess over them, I've never heard a man say, "Wow....look at those eyelashes." Apparently you can take/ use Latisse, a prescription drug, which causes all kinds of side effects but is considered worth it.
SIU,
Sorry to hear you are ill.
I'm not eyelash obsessed, but more is better than less, I'd say. A former boyfriend had memorably nice lashes -- a cross between Bambi's doe friend, Faline, and Jessica "I'm not bad,I'm just drawn that way" Rabbit.
Just ask a drag queen, they do know about extensions... I think.
I really am interested in the technological aspects. Is it just an expensive false eyelash? Something else?
I don't know what anyone is talking about. I get how you can glue on fake ones. I understand that you can thicken and darken with mascara. But how do you extend them? And how could it cost 100 bucks?
I bought my wife a spa day for mother's day this year. They gave her a free eye lash tinting because she didn't need the facial I'd already purchased. As a red head, with red eyelashes she loved it. No mascara for a month. Turns out it would have been $25 bucks. So if they're doing a little dye for a quarter of the price, gluing other people's hair to their eyes probably entails a bit more skill. Gross.
