Don't laugh.

Please don't smile. Or yawn. Or wink. And if you're even thinking about raising an eyebrow, stop right now!

"Do you know that facial expressions can cause wrinkles?"
(Snapshots of Claudia Schiffer laughing, smiling, winking, making faces, pouting, grinning and so on.)

From the reaffirming "Because you're worth it" of yesteryear, L'oreal's recent advertising stoops low to manipulate our insecurities (wait a minute, few ad campaigns don't these days. Sheesh!). It's gone as far as to say you can't live a normal happy life because it'll give you fine lines and crow's feet. Of course there's Botox. But needle-fearing and modest-bank-account folk may redeem their youth and beauty with L'Oreal products.

If women out there are stupid enough to stop laughing, or worse, buy the damn creams, so be it. Bring on the wrinkles I say. Facial lines ooze with character and tell you lots about someone. I personally find people with laugh lines very attractive. Emotional constipation for the sake of taut, perfect skin? Now, THAT, makes me laugh.
