Shut your mouth!

I am so fed up with seeing pictures, especially of women, especially of models, standing with their mouths drooped open. They don’t look sexy they just look gormless.

I have the Sunday Telegraph magazine, Stella here, and I’m just flipping through the pages…

• Cover – Lou Doillin, she might be smiling, but she just looks as if her mouth has drooped open. (She’s on page 31 again, mouth closed)
• Inside cover – model for Estée Lauder – mouth open
• page 3 – editor and Deborah Mogach smiling so that’s ok, Pippa Small looking pensive, mouth closed,
• page 5 – model, mouth open
• page 8 – model mouth shut, Debbie Harry for once looking gormless with mouth open
• page 10 – Antonia Burrell smiling and looking nice
• pages 11-12 – mouth-open models
• page 13 – mouth closed model!
• page 14 – Natascha McElhone smiling mouth closed
• page 15, 17-26 – particularly gormless, dim looking models (4 adverts for Boots with either smiling, happy models or closed mouth model)

… and so it goes on. There are people with genuine (albeit posed) smiles but there are so many gasping, slack-jawed droopy, dull looking models. I guess it is the fashion…
