Ref: those videos 25/02/2015

Thanks, Accro Delajupe, for your comment to last weeks blog.

Yes, I (we) enjoyed the videos you referred to us last November – very interesting.

For those who missed these at the time and my December response, here they are again-

A very attractive Spanish girl for a start. Chris and I sat for the whole hour in his office watching this. Only wish we could understand Spanish though!!

One (of many possible) comments – I was always worried in the old days that if I wore eye-patches, over both eyes of course, as all three do in the videos, the patches would show at the edges if I wore darkened glasses over them – as they do in fact in the videos. In those circumstances, it does not matter, but with me, out by myself posing as a blind woman, I wouldn't want others to see the patches, thus giving me away as a fraud.

In the German video, the eye patches are interesting having this black inner lining. What is it made of? It does look as if it might be uncomfortable but, as you say, possibly more efficient in excluding all light. That would appeal to me.

The shot where she appears to be standing alone in the street and then raises her dark glasses, exposing her patches to any onlookers is different. The patches don't look uncomfortable in that shot.

I now wish I could understand German. It would be interesting to hear why they are undertaking this simulated blindness.

Then the French one, although somewhat different lands us with the same language problem!

Anyone found anything like these videos, but in English?!
