Lips make a person.
It's been said that most people can get away with funny colored eyes, perhaps an odd shaped nose, but lips?
You gotta have some presentable lips in a functioning society. Which may be why, despite our little recession-depression, botox-injected lips continue to hold steady, according to doctors. While the economic has put the crunch on face-lifts, tummy tucks and all kinds of body modification, big lips are sucking up ('scuse the pun) the void.
Those in the know say lip pumpers cost less than injections. So, people - men and women - are going the pump route to have fuller lips. In Russia especially are full lips enjoying a craze.
Now, why the craze, you may say? Well, for some they simply want to look younger (nothing like injecting collagen into the lips to bring back 20- 30 years), but for others they are just addicted.
Of course, I don't have to tell you that black women have been castigated, ridiculed and ostracized because of their round, full lips. But the question is why are people now trying to imitate what they used to denigrate? What changed?
