My 12 year old granddaughter is wearing false eyelashes
Her parents have tried to discourage her but she is getting massively upset .She is very persistent and it is causing huge upset
Has anyone else experienced this

Tower you're getting off lightly if that's the worst thing she's done!

Thanks for the picture of Twiggy. How I wanted to look like her.
We blacked our eyes, plastered white makeup on our faces and back combed our hair, not all the time but we practiced in front of the mirror.
I do remember trying false eyelashes.

I once saw my son walking along the pavement of a busy street. I stopped the car to offer him a lift.
He looked at me and I realised it wasn't him but a strange girl. He was going through a goth stage.

I bet he wishes his hair was that long now.

TBH I wouldn’t have thought they’d be allowed at school.

I used to wear them for nights out at 18-20-ish.
