So Budd pointed this out in the leg thread, but its something I've been meaning to ask about for a long while anyway.
Back in Japan a walk through popular youth areas like Shibuya, Harajuku, Machida or areas of Yokohama and you'll notice this.
The uber fashionable 'cool' girls, the blonde, the tanned, the alba rosa wearing, the Louis Vutton carrying, the made up, the glamourous girls occasionally can be seen sporting an eye patch on one eye.
Eye patch?
Visions of Pirates and the high seas?
No, these are medical eyepatches, worn when one has had an eye injury or eye surgery.
Now I ask, why are these eye patches so much more common on young 'cool' girls in Japan than any other demographic I've seen ANYWHERE in the world?
Is it bandaging because they have had laser eye surgery (heaven forbid they wear glasses)? Or surgery to make their eyes more 'western' and hence more fashionable?
Or did Johnny Depps blockbust 'Pirates of the Caribean' have amuch more chilling, sinister effect on the Japanese population?
Maybe we will never know!
