An impossibly flawless (frankly, plastic) look has become the norm among America's actors and models. And have you noticed that vanity surgeons promote themselves more aggressively with each passing year?

It's working, too. The number of customers for vanity procedures is rising faster than those old signs at McDonalds that tracked sales of hamburgers.

Who dares to publicly criticize the fad for fake faces and bodies? You'd risk being called a spoilsport, a nut or, even worse, someone too socially clueless to understand that nothing in post-modern American life matters more than how you look.

Still, plenty of otherwise well adjusted people have dared to grumble in private. And maybe you have been one of them. Have you ever felt that artificially improved faces have lost their soul, in some intangible but very real way? Even on the surface, you may feel that surgically altered faces lose their individuality-that too many actors on TV, for instance, look vapidly interchangeable.

Or perhaps your social conscience has been stirred by the class war implications of vanity surgery. Read it as a sign of the growing economic divide between America's rich and poor. Wealthy women today feel social pressure to look impossibly flawless. When I'm hired to read their faces for party entertainment, women who don't go under the knife often apologize to me, as though their reluctance to go plastic made them socially inadequate. Is this nuts or what?

Faces Reflect The Soul

As a professional Face Reader, I'm here to remind you that vanity procedures have consequences that doctors won't tell you. For at least 5,000 years, physiognomists (pronounced Fizzy-OG-nuh-mists) have described the connection between physical face structure and the soul. What happens when you learn to interpret data like ear angles, nostril shapes and cheek proportions? You gain insight into a person's patterns with power, money, sex, work and other areas of life.

How accurate is Face Reading? I wish you could follow me around, as I do individual consultations, classes, event entertainment and media interviews on five continents. You'd find that the accuracy level of my trademarked system, Face Reading Secrets (R), approaches the purity of Ivory soap. And when you learn to read faces, your readings will be accurate too. One of the most important discoveries you'll make is this:

Faces aren't Silly Putty, to reshape at will and whim. Vanity surgery changes people, often in deeper ways than they think. There's a reciprocal relationship between the physical face and the inner person. Usually we evolve first on the inside, setting off a corresponding physical change. Because the relationship is reciprocal, the reverse is also true: When we alter the physical face, the inner person must follow.

For this to happen, the number of physical procedures need not approach the grotesque levels of alteration done to Michael Jackson and Jocelyne Wildenstein. Even relatively minor vanity surgeries, or a shot of Botox, bring inner consequences. Over the past 15 years, your face could have had more than 15 of natural changes--_not_ counting wrinkles. A professional face reading, costing just a fraction of vanity treatments, can give you an Inner Makeover. See more at .
