Bright eyes

Tired of not having that "bright eyed look" ... well, there's help at hand from Nintendo DS. Players can now do "Face Training" which is 16 types of exercises designed by beauty expert Fumiko Inudo. Each of the exercises takes between 2 and 10 minutes to complete but faceners (well, what else would you call someone doing "facening") are warned not to do more than 15 minutes at a time lest they overexert their facial muscles or get them "out of balance". As well as the onscreen model (and live images on the dual screen of your face) an electronic voice encourages you through the exercises: twist your mouth, drop your jaw, wink, glare at the ceiling etc. There's only one bit of bad news ... the program is currently only sold in Japan and plans for international sales are uncertain.
