as someone blessed with full/ample lips, i have to agree. i often see two people with non existent lips and wonder...does that even feel good?? it looks like two people gumming at each other's faces...weird. i am conflicted though...it's not their fault. it's kind of like men with premature baldness...it's not their fault, therefore i shouldn't judge.  but i can damn sure choose not to smooch them.

Olu Dara has a great song about juicy lips.  I'd consider it an anthem.  I don't even want to see thin-lipped people on television!

Definitely, thin lips are not a good situation. On the other hand, I've found very full and badly controlled lips to quickly lead to "stop eating my face" syndrome... but that's more to do with lack of skill than lip size.

Here's a question: can lips ever be too full?

I have reasonably full lips, but my sister's are even fuller, and I'm jealous; I think it makes her smile prettier.  Personally, I've never seen lips that I thought were "too full" but I sense that some people do, some people like balance in that regard.

Thoughts?

Ew, I can't stand her either, but mostly because I find her completely implausible as a doctor, or really as anybody with half a brain.  Her lack of lips doesn't help though, now that you point it out. The weirdest is Don Henley. Nothing against the guy, I like "Hotel California" just fine, but, seriously, what the hell? On the other hand, Steven Tyler is a little too far in the other direction.

I am also grateful that my semitic blood has endowed me with full lips.

As much as I dislike thin lips, I hate trout pout more. Living in LA, that's what I see most of the time - people who originally had thin lips who have stuffed them with injectibles until they can be used as flotation devices. Bring back the thin lips.

Mr. Benjamin is indeed juicy lol

Seriously people, see for yourselves. Weird.

As for lips being too big, I think it's more that if someone has really full lips that are obviously collagen-enhanced, it's kind of tacky.

You can be thin-lipped and lovely.  And very few people add to their lip endowment without looking ridiculous.  I, for one, have yet to recover from the Barbara Hershey debacle.  So lovely in Hannah and Her Sisters that she drove her sister's husband nearly insane, and then unrecognizable a year later in Beaches.  I remember standing by the movie poster and reading her name, looking at her photo, reading, looking, reading, looking -- until, finally, someone told me that that was her.  Her lip enhancement somehow erased her, and left someone not nearly as interesting to look at.

Toluca--Lips cannot be too big but sometimes faces can be too small.  

I really hate when thin-lipped people try to enhance their endowments by making duck faces in photos!  It's not pouty.  It's ducky!

Y'know, as a guy who has ridiculously full lips, I feel like it makes me look less masculine. I have that stupid cupid's-bow thing going on and I hate it. To me, it makes my mouth look too small.
