Model's Eyeballs Say 'Enough'!

The big story from Milan fashion week isn't about models falling all over the runway (Miuccia saw to it that the shoes were walkable this time around), but rather a young Lithuanian named Auguste Abeliunaite who had tears streaming down her face during both of her walks for Jil Sander.

Some in attendance thought it was a make-up effect until they realised the rest of the girls had dry eyes. And so the speculation began. A break-up via text just before the show? Fear of falling wearing the high, tight heels as an alleged helper backstage summised? Faked tears? Hunger? 

Well, Heard on the Runway posted the story and received the following comment:

There wasnt any small shoes or my emocional problems!!!! The lights was very strong and cameras was flashing all the time. My eyes are very sensitive thats why i was crying.

The comment seems legit and explains why she's not all puffy and red as you'd get with emotional crying (reps claimed not to know anything about it). Many commenters have been downright awful even when the assumption was that she'd likely received bad news just before the show. Either way, have a heart!

And how beautiful was she?

Had that been me, those two delicate streams would have been accompanied by two thick ones flowing from my nose.

I sometimes get a reaction from bright lights and especially cold weather where I just have overflowing tears (recently, in the cold, I couldn't even see where I was going for a moment). My eyes don't get red or anything and I don't feel sad. I had been wondering if it could be something like that with her.
