Maybe it's just the makeup, but a lot of the female pop singers and various other talents look mildly cross-eyed. Is this a "cute" thing?
It reminds me of the snaggle-tooth Japanese look that was/is popular... a flaw that is suddenly desirable. |

This may sound a little "off", but cross-eyed Asian females look very cute and sexy to me. I have no idea why, but it just does!! For the record, I still take my medication every day!! |

Not saying this is it, but sometimes fake contacts don't seat properly, causing this look. |

Can you give an example of a k-pop star? Or post a link of a pic? |

I don't know. Maybe here isn't a good example. I can't see it. |

I filmed a Korean android named, "Ever 1," 2 years ago that was clearly cross eyed. People just went ga ga crazy over her. I seen many real cross eyed women and wondered if they can see straight. Well they do have to take more time to look around to avoid falling or getting hit. That also might simply be the ridiculous shoes making walking a precarious challenge for them.
Is it difficult to see straight and focus in on your surrounding environment if you're cross eyed? |

Maybe it makes the eyes look closer set together. That might be appealing if the eyes would otherwise seem too spread apart... :/ |

Man, you are some tough judges. I don't think I would have even noticed if you had not pointed it out. I think I could overlook this slight "flaw". Hell, I would not even mind if they ate crackers, uh, well, on the sofa....... |

I've noticed the Korean thing, never seen the japanese one. |
