I read the annual anti-aging issue of a fashion magazine on my flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas. I learned two things: the burden of aging now hits women at about 30-years old and, it is absolutely a given that your lips will thin out (and appar- ently damn near disappear) as you age. Therefore I suppose the corollary is true: if you are old, you have thin lips. And, the upper lip is the maxima culpa culprit.


I’ve been down this lip road before and I think it’s wrong. I think it has been created by the lip plumper folks.


The first time I tried a plumper thingy, it felt like I had put Ben Gay on my lips. The second product I tried made me feel like I had been stung by a bunch of bees. (And it looked that way too.) It wasn’t particularly attractive and it didn’t make me feel any younger. My husband couldn’t get near me for days either, so that didn’t help either.


I’ve always had sort of thin lips, I guess. I’ve surely never had Angelina-type smack- ers, but I never gave it too much thought – they are just the lips I’ve got. And I don’t think they’ve changed that much over the years. MANY of my parts have, don’t get me wrong, but not so much my lips.
