Pentapeptides frighten me. They appear to remove all traces of expression from one's face.
What are "celebrity beauty editors" anyway? Are they editors of celebrity beauty or are they the celebrities, and, if so, why haven't I heard of them? Even those of us who try our best to avoid the whole "sleb" scene have heard of most of the people who populate that netherworld and know that the Paris Hilton in all the magazines is not a hotel, despite the number of guests accommodated.
Aren't celebrity beauty editors those people who--armed with Photoshop--take an awful picture of a celebrity or supermodel and remove all the blemishes, make them look twice as thin, make the lips fuller, etc.?
Yes, and they have personalities that are so large that they fall down the cracks of the universe when the zero ground energy state undergoes a temporary 'quantum soup' effect and creates a particle/antiparticle action for an infinitesimally short moment.
Then you add in the lack of talent to be something themselves, and the frantic efforts to make their own bodies in the images of what they portray. Add in personalities that would bore a piece of basalt and you will never see a poorer more ludicrous human being on the planet.
