14 DAY TRIAL // The world is full of strange people and 58-year-old Valery Smagly from Ukraine should rightfully count himself among them. If not, then at least admit that his eyelashes are without a doubt a very rare sight.
In fact, judging by the photos accompanying this article, it is not all that far-fetched to say that his eyelashes kind of, sort of resemble teeny tiny wigs somebody mistakenly attached to his face instead of his head.
As detailed by Oddity Central, this man whose eyelashes might just be the absolute longest in the world currently lives in Kiev, Ukraine's capital city. Mind you, his eyelashes were not always this big.
Valery Smagly says that they started growing when he added a wondrous ingredient to his food. Although many would want to know what this ingredient is, he insists on keeping it a secret.
“Women would stop me in the street and ask me what the secret was, they can see that they are real and not fake,” the 58-year-old told the press in a recent interview.
For the time being, Valery Smagly's eyelashes are not officially the absolute longest and bushiest in the world. On the contrary, the record is held by a man named Stuart Miller and his 6.99-centimeter (2.75-inch) eye whiskers.
Valery Smagly promises that he will visit the local Guinness Book of Records registry office in Ukraine soon enough and will try to set the record straight by having somebody officially measure his eyelashes.
The man claims that, even if they are not yet the longest in the world, he will not let them grow any longer. This is because they are already hurting his eyes and affecting his sight.
