(It's easier to tell what the real length is when they're just children, and I'm pretty sure there is no change even after puberty.)

This is particularly amusing when they have things like anthropomorphic fish, reptiles, and insects - by rights, none of them should even *have* eyelashes. And this makes me wonder: do women really tend to have longer eyelashes than men do? Or is it just a difference manufactured by using mascara? If it's just a manufactured difference, I suppose that having an iguana wearing false eyelashes is no sillier than making it anthropomorphic in the first place.
