Prize on the Eyes

Fab’lous Lashes by Ja’maal

9/14
Dear Diary,
Oh, woe. After staring dreamily (or so I thought) for hours at Jacob in IT, he finally asked if I was drunk.

Dear Diary,
While wildly attempting to bat my eyelashes, I apparently gave Jacob the impression that I have conjunctivitis. He avoids me more than ever.

9/16
Dear Diary,
Finally broke down and asked Bridgette, the office babe/receptionist, what I’m doing wrong. She informed me that my flirtation props were lacking — and suggested I make an appointment with Ja’maal, the eyelash extension guy at Select Salon Studio.

9/16
Dear Diary,
All eyes are now on me! That genius Ja’maal painstakingly applied one human hair at a time to my paltry lashes, and in 90 minutes my lovesick peepers were transformed into romantic windows of the soul. Jacob immediately took notice by the water cooler. Of course, proper care is required to ensure they last two to six months as promised, but Ja’maal guarantees his work and will be happy to see me should one ever falter. If only love came with such assurances.
