Keanu confuses me only because I have and have always had Asian
friends. Close friendships where we know every little thing about each
other.  It also helps having an anthropology minor, causes a kind of
preoccupation with differences in races...

I've been wondering since my last Keanu post if someone had gotten
to him and had him get his eyelids altered in order for him to fit the
'Hollywood ideal'.

I found a childhood photo. He looks the same.

He looks the same. So his mom would have to be really WASPy
looking if his dad is Chinese and Hawaiian. She's English and
fits the bill.



Case solved! Genetics are even more fun than linguistics.

The reason why I wondered about this is because everyone
in Hollywood had something done. When I was in Japan the
appearance of a lot of people confused me until I learned to
recognize the 'double-eyelid surgery' shops were as prolific
as the nail salons here in the States.  Lots of people actually
looked Mexican. Many Japanese want to erase a single-eyelid
from their appearance in order to look more like Westerners.
Most of the mannequins in dept. stores and models displayed
at the cosmetic counters were Caucasian. They're obsessed
with Westerners. I couldn't even ask someone for directions
without them wanting to follow me all day or shove me into the
back of a waiting town car. Here's proof of the eyelid obsession:

Just go to www.jlist.com and you will see. Lots of great crap!
I have the double eyelid makeup. That little spatula thingy is
the secret. Of course, I have a double eyelid but I use this for
another purpose- TO TAKE 10 YRS. OFF MY AGE IN ABOUT 10
MINUTES! Oh, I have all the secrets...Stick around bitches!

PRODUCT WHORE FOREVER!

p.s.-The Japanese obsession with Westerners does not include all. I know of short, Italian-
American men with brown eyes that have gone there and have been completely ignored.
