Scary Eyes Made Easy
If you don’t think it’s quite out there enough to have eyes that make you look like a living doll, say hello to this line of definitely unnatural contacts! How about a nice alien look, with Solid White? Or perhaps a touch of psychopath, with Spiral or Manson Red?
I saw these for sale at Laforet, in Harajuku. If you’d like to go there the next time you’re in Tokyo, a map is on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
I once saw a girl at a keitai store wearing living doll contacts. Totally freaked me out. I can’t even wear nail polish.
I barely notice the living doll contacts anymore, but the first time I saw someone wearing ones like this, it was a serious disconnect. She was a beautiful girl dressed sort of goth, but nothing too costume-y…except for her eyes. It took me a moment to figure out why she struck me as so alien!
They still scare the pickles out of me every time. I can’t handle painted fingernails either, for that matter.
Eek, eek, when we meet, I hope you aren’t squicked out! (My nails are clear gel, but with sparkly bits at the ends O_O)
