Priorities

Here's an interesting story about the new vanity that is sweeping Italy: plastic surgery.

The article mentions one starlet who injected some substance into her lips to beautify them (she was apparently already quite fetching, though; again, vanity). As a result, her lips became disturbingly swollen. Rather than admit her mistake, she floated that story that her lips were disfigured because of herpes.

So: would you rather admit to the world that you made a mistake, or would rather them think you've come some disgusting STD? Better a strumpet than stupid, it seems.

Dishonor before death?
