another question for Jessica :)

Hello Jessica,
I hope you don't mind if you can answer my questions.

I would like to ask how long you can hold you eyes open and not blink during a regular freeze with no hypnosis and with hypnosis. Do you have to be aware of it and concentrate really hard or does it come naturally, reason being is that on your videos, you seem to be very, very good at it.
I have always been intrigued by it because some experienced living mannequins claim they can stop blinking for 5 minutes straight which i find impossible to do.
Again perfect acting job on the videos. I'm looking forward to more in the future.
Thanks

you're a sweetheart. let see....i don't know about the eyes being open without hypnosis. can't say i've really thought about that. with hypnosis though, i do eventually blink. i've never timed it, but i had a one-on-one session with someone once who did time it. i remember we were both kind of surprised and impressed. i will say that light, a fan in the room, etc all play a part. when i asked my hypno-therapist about it, she reminded me that i am not, after all, a machine and that i will blink when my eyes feel that they need to be re-lubricated, just as my heart will continue to beat and my lungs will continue to breathe. i hope that answers your question. thanks for asking!

Would it be thought of as cheating to use artificial tears? You can get them over the counter. I use them from time to time after I spent a long time out in hot dry dusty areas. They really help. Only draw back is they will blur your vision ever so slightly just after you put them in.

People who have impaired movement of their eyelids also use them.

do you mean, during the middle of a session to take some time to use the drops? that might be a good idea...
