It has been quite a while since TreeHugger showed stupid tricks with light emitting diodes, but artist Soomi Park has come up with LED eyelashes, evidently designed as a "product that speaks to many Asian women's desire for bigger eyes." They have a mercury switch that turns them on and off depending on how you tilt your head.
If you don't desire bigger eyes, they might be good for cycling at night. The video below shows the design process and the LEDs in action.
