As I said, it was really triggered by seeing that woman (a stranger; this is not the Friends Meeting where we are members) with the "close to" optical brown hair. Caroline and I have discussed this subject for years and, based on our former jobs, we're very familiar with the progression from photo retouching to contemporary digital "beauty treatments." Weird, but the ultra-white teeth do take the cake. The Meeting we attended last Sunday in Willistown Township, PA, is surrounded by horse farms everywhere. Driving there is glorious and sets an appropriately heavenly mood.

I k...Ah, but the brown of the horses is so lovely! I know what you mean about hair color. About seeking an ultra-color or kind of perfection. It's almost more disturbing when it's close to realistic, close to what one imagines to be attractive, and yet it is slightly off. It reminds me of doctoring photos in a dark room, or now photo-shopping, when you perfect someone's features for them, and suddenly they are surreal and slightly hideous. I am distracted by the glow-in-the -dark whiteness of some people's teeth these days, as if someone turned on a black light.Nin Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.com
