Almost anything and everything can be done well, and almost anything and everything can be done poorly.

Your personal taste is not a rule that everyone should have to follow.

I'm quite serious. It's about the same as me saying that Ale
did lingerie/swimsuit so the rest of you should give it up because you're not half as sexy as her...

In your opinion.

Obviously, if you're paying me then I'll do my best to give you what you want, but your way will never, ever be the only way or even the best way for all circumstances.

In that example, yes. But then, you're trying to prove an incorrect point so you would post something hideous.

I'm posting it only after seeing countless girls do exactly the same thing.  Took me years to figure out, oh, they're trying to make it look like they have Jolie-lips.  Except it doesnt work, it just looks retarded.  If you have thin lips, enjoy them.  Paint them red.  Smile.  Make them come alive.  But looking like you brushed your teeth with a lemon is never going to come off looking good.

No, not regular pouty lips.  Pouty "I'm pretending I have Jolie-lips" lips.  Thats bad.

It may not be jolie-lips. She did not create it. When I do it I'm not trying to be her its just a mouth positioning thing. It's in countless ads and magazines, obviously it's working,.

Money means you get models who'll do what you want. It still doesn't make your opinion anything more than just that.
