Black Lace Eyes from Tokyo Lash Bar 2008

Shu Uemura has paired up with fashion designers Victor & Rolf to create what can only be described as an outrageously fun collection of false eyelashes that's part of their Tokyo Lash Bar 2008. The Victor & Rolf "Couture Collection" consists of three pairs of lashes called Swirl Couture, Wing Couture, and Rhombus Couture that sell for $95 a pair, and other lashes in this year's group are even more fun and sell for slightly less -- like these black lace lashes and velvet feather lashes for $50 each.

Give you any Halloween ideas? The lashes just might enough costume all on their own.

Cowardly Lion Costume Sells for $700,000

Filed under: Auctions

The original Cowardly Lion costume from the movie The Wizard of Oz sold to a collector over eBay earlier this month for $700,000. The 65-year old costume is made of real lion pelts and, unlike some of the other costumes from the film, only one was made. It was nearly forgotten about until 1970, when it was discovered among some other old costumes. The most recent owner had the costume restored, mounted on a flexible steel armature and displayed in a diorama depicting the yellow brick road.
