Beauty Obsession Gone Bad (Weekend Reflections # 269)

Bristol, Pennsylvania

Is there a line that separates real and fake in the quest for beauty? That was what came to my mind when I saw this plastic narcissist. I guess that's a line that I don't need to worry about crossing. :-)

I'm going on vacation so Weekend Reflections will be on auto-pilot for a few weeks!

Same here - a line I won't ever worry about crossing! One of the many things I love about New England, is that natural seems to be the norm...even the women don't mind aging! Enjoy your vacation!!

And the hair and nails are just too match-matchy! :~} Thanks for the laugh, James—amuses-toi bien en vacances!

LOL, I sure won't be getting anywhere near that line. Nice shot, I like that you kept a portion of the 'real' subject in the frame. Have a great vacation.

Haha, a strange one! Have a great vacation, James.

Hey, my hair looks like that every morning when I get up ... and no effort, intention or money went into it. Am I cool or what? But, my hair isn't blue nor are my nails ... disappointing :(
This is a great, laughable reflection, James. Narcissist or not,. it is fun!

I had the same problem-- was that some fashionista going over the edge? Then reality kicked in.

What a creative way to illustrate this plastic narcissist... Cool reflection shot...

Enjoy your vacation...

Il manque juste le téléphone pour prendre une photo de l'instant et l'envoyer à toutes ses amis par tous les réseaux sociaux auxquels elle est inscrite, cette poupée fashion victime... ^^

That is really a excellent picture, and not only on the technical side that you obviously mastered : the symbolic is really apealing.
