I have no problem with ethnic features on ethnic faces... the proportions of the faces as a whole usually fit gracefully. I wouldn't be putting thicker or thinner lips on the faces in this thread if I didn't feel that they went with the character. I do have a problem when someone tries to change their facial structures to match an artificial ideal when it isn't part of their genetic heritage. Example: Michael Jackson trying so damnably hard to look white despite his talent and success. Standards of beauty fluctuate. I suppose that collagen-filled lips isn't as horrible as bound feet or removing ribs to present the "right" silhouette. We'll know in 50 years how permanent is the damage. Carolly
