Calm down, folks, the zombie-virus has not yet leaked from the pentagon/terrorist/monkey facility in Africa, etc., nor have the demons finally broken the human brain-wave barrier.
It's just color contacts.
For those of you unacquainted with them, color contacts appear to change the color of your pupils, and these days they do so quite masterfully -- they can have the same streaks, spots, and variations of tone that normal irises do. However, the shades themselves are still unavoidably unnatural. There are eye colors we expect to see with certain hair shades and skin tones, and then there are startling eye colors that can make someone gorgeous, and then there are color contacts, which, more often than not, speak to me of demonic possession. They aren't meant to be subtle, so the colors are turquoise rather than blue, cedar rather than brown, emerald rather than green, and in some cases, violet or gold, which you just don't see much, if at all.
I will admit, my education in color contacts comes more from sci-fi and horror movies, so I'm probably making the association based on the content of said movies...
All of this stems from an experience with one of the girls behind the jamba juice counter, who was wearing color contacts. I'm sure jamba-girl usually has lovely brown eyes, and with her contacts on, she had golden orangey streaks and flecks as well.
She was smiling and friendly, and I'm pretty sure she wanted to make jamba juice out of my brains and suck them down with a straw. And while I'm sure my brains would go well with strawberries and orange sorbet, too, I'd rather not have to contemplate this on my lunch break.
However, it was just a false warning, so I thought I'd reassure any of you who have encountered it...reassure and forewarn. (~_-)
