Two things..

1. Good Reads is insanely addictive site. I spent hours last night rating books I'd read in various categories via Facebook. And I entertain myself at work reading the book reviews (although I should probably pick work safe books not erotica books to read book reviews on).

2. How do you look up at someone through or beneath your lashes? Seems to be a common description in romance novels. "I looked up at him through my lashes."or rather "I looked at him from beneath my lashes." Sounds sexy, but impossible.

I keep trying to figure out how people do that. I have figured out how to raise or quirk one eyebrow, but you sort of have twist your face a bit to accomplish it. But the whole looking up at someone through or from beneath my lashes bit is lost on me. Possibly would help if I had longer lashes?

Well, I often look at things through my eyelashes and it's darn annoying. My eyelashes are unusually long and thick and they can get in a position so that I need to blink and separate the upper and lower lashes to get a clean look at things. I'm pretty sure nobody finds the blinking and squinting sexy, though.

Of course they're blond so they don't give me naturally enticing eyes either.

Having long eyelashes in novels is apparently a very good thing, a very attractive. Oddly I don't notice lashes very much in reality. LOL!
