The latest on this issue are reports that the British Advertising Standards Authority has banned recent Loreal ads featuring Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington because they were not representative of what the makeup products are actually capable of delivering.

My take is that everyone knows the lie, but we like to believe in it. We all like to think that with just a little bit of magic we can be completely transformed.
