Enter "JolieLips Lip Plumping & Enhancement System!" An intrepid MSNBC writer tested it and was duly Jolied, but the next day "it looked like I had been punched in the mouth." Apparently, vacuum-pumping your lips repeatedly results in bruising. [MSNBC]

It turns out the difference between a Hockey Mom and a pit bull is more than lipstick. Humans are the only animals with transition lines, known as the vermillion border, between the skin and the red part of the lips. As for why lips are (often) red, their color comes from the blood-filled capillaries under the skin. [Live Science]

Octocock V. Boobiverse: Screw Faceless People But Wrap It Up

This is one of two French AIDS-prevention advertisements to win a Bronze medal at the Cannes International Advertising Festival (click the picture to see this and the one with a dude writ, um, large). The tag line: "Explore. Just protect yourself." Although the tongues in the female version are non-gender specific, the advertisement for a man contains a female face that looks like a blow-up doll, several obviously feminine mouths and genitalia that looks way more like a pocket pussy than a woman being as it lacks legs (or hair) for context, but no obvious visual references to anal sex (or non-gendered assholes). I guess a man's exploring is supposed to be limited to women, but since all women are supposedly a little bi and it's less "gross," the tongues don't have to obviously be dudes'. Anyway, we're mostly trying to figure if the pictures are erotic or weird, or both. Vive la France! [Salon]
