Okay, somehow last night the topic of butterfly kisses came up. Apparently there are a lot of folks, mostly yankees I must admit, who had no idea what they were. So I told folks and gave them a little taste of the fun. As I was fluttering my lashes across someone's cheek, she became enchanted with the cute sign of affection and began to wander around the bar passing along the ticklish love bites. Well, a few minutes later she comes back with some wacky twist on the kiss that another one of our friends had shown her. Well, all of a sudden the cute cheek-to-lash kiss somehow morphed into a fungus-swapping-lash-to-lash flutter. That's right, lash-to-lash...who does that?!?!? I was totally taken aback and even more shocked when a few more people jumped on the lash-to-lash bandwagon while me and my gang of lash-to-cheek supporters swore ardently against their position sighting the intense possiblity of spreading pink eye as one of our reasons for their obvious lack of knowledge.

So, being the obsessive freak that I am, I decided to do a litle research and came up with the official definition for the kiss (oh, right, like you really thought that I would stand for passing incorrect info!)

Well, what I came up with come directly from this site, the man who wrote the song in the first place and turned the world on to the sweet kisses. Here is what he had to say:
In case you didn't know, a BUTTERFLY KISS is when the eyelashes of one are fluttered against the cheek or eyelashes of another.

Well, damn, there it is...I stand both corrected and correct. I guess to some, swapping mascara is a true sign of affection. But me, I'll stick with dusting off someone's blush instead.
