Eye of the Beholder

LOVE make-up for fashion show
The "Beauty Culture" which opened a few weeks ago, is a fascinating focus on the 'cult'ure of our obsession with beauty.  It includes supermodels, plastic surgery and toddler beauty pageants as seen through the lens of more than 100 fashion photographers and documentary photographers. There's a 30 minute documentary which ensures a critical discussion with your friends after you've left as well as 500 photos, including the Hollywood Glamour Machine.  "To age or not to age?" - that is really the question.  Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City through November 17th
