superbadgirl | Why are thin lips bad?

I don't know why, but lately my Yahoo account seems plagued by an ad for "First Impression", a product that claims to make thin lips plump and luscious. (Please note, this only applies to women. Men don't have to worry about their lips.) Are women really that concerned with the plumpness of their lips?

To answer my own question, I suppose all I have to do is look at women in Hollywood - Lara Flynn Boyle really pops to the fore regarding getting work done to improve the appearance of her lips. For the record, I see no improvement. She looks worse. She looks like it hurts to talk, her lips so puffy now that she even speaks differently than she used to. How is that attractive, and why is that something to shoot for? Why are these lip-plumping products being pushed so heavily?

I don't get it.
