interesting bit of research

For me it has to be the most unattractive facial deformity of modern women.

Back in the mid 2000's my niece joined a facebook group called "say no to cameltoe".

we need the same thing for the modern day cameltoe lips. "say no to cameltoe lips".

Viewing faces with artificially altered lip size therefore powerfully influences attractiveness judgements. Outside the laboratory, cosmetic procedures to increase lip size are popular. Our findings indicate that (i) lip plumping will mostly appeal to women rather than men (who prefer thinner lips), and (ii) exposure to expanded lips renormalizes attractiveness to a larger baseline and may lead to lip dysmorphia.
