The out-of-the-ordinary always captures our attention! And on this day it was no different.
My family and I had just parked in the underground parking in preparation for an afternoon of shopping at the mall. We had stopped in front of a Mini, a car that is known for its smallness. What made this particular vehicle cute, though, was the addition of eyelashes.
“Look mommy! That car is sooo CUTE!” my daughter squealed. “I want to have a car like that when I grow up.”
I liked the look of the car as well and showed my appreciation by snapping a photo. It is not every day that you see a car that stands out from the rest. And this one certainly looked flirty 🙂
Have you seen these eyelashes on cars?
(This post was inspired by Thursday’s Special non-challenge)
😆 What an extraordinary sight, Colline. Thank you for linking this original post to my non-challenge. Bless you, girl 🙂

Very cute. We had a lady in our street that had these eyelashes on her old car and also some pink girly things inside the car! 🙂

Was she flirty herself?

Not really she was still very young and had a toddler, maybe that’s why she put the lashes on.
LikeLike
Maybe it reminded her of a time before she was a mother. I am sure she did a lot of things for fun.

The mini has been around for a long time. The creators found a recipe that worked 🙂

I want that, too! But my car, whose name is Mercedes although she’s a Mazda, isn’t cute enough. And besides it’d be a dead giveaway that I’m a lady.

Maybe you can find the right eyelashes for a Mazda 😉
