I was at the mall a couple of weeks ago with Nicole and we were in this Japanese store at serramonte called, Daiso. We didn't find anything unusual until we got to the makeup section. For a minute me and Nicole couldn't figure out what it was. It was in a small package and we could read japanese so we turned it over and there were the visual instructions. Particularly for Asian People who had no visible double eye lids--you were supposed to put this clear sticker on your eyelid right above your eyelashes so that your eyes would look more "American". Both of our jaws dropped as we stood there dumbfounded as to why such a product would still exist?! I've read about it, and watched Asian American videos about how hard it is to assimilate and try to look and act as "American as possible, but I've never actually met an Asian American person who really complained about how their eyes looked funny or any other physical feature that dissatisfied them.Trippy! I think no matter how "weird" I look, I'm comfortable with who I am and wouldn't resort to putting clear stickers on my eyelids to try and fix the problem.
