Lips too wide for fashion

 

I’ll admit that whenever I read a description of a heroine whose lips are too wide and too full for fashion, I think that we’re supposed to imagine Marilyn-, Bellucci-, or Jolie-esque lips, but the unfortunate image that hops into my mind is something like this:


Or something featured on AwfulPlasticSurgery.com.

*and I only was reminded of this because of a conversation between Lorelie Brown and Zoe Archer on Twitter. So you have them to blame thank.

Yikes! I also suffered fm this affliction. I hv a tendency to imagine the “wide lips” description as the Joker’s lips (~gah!)…Definitely hv trouble to associate the heroine’s sex appeal with that image..

So my usual solution would be to self-edit…or ignore it altogether :S
