Scribbles: 2.7 second cure for frown lines ( } :-(

Don't give a damn. That's the secret cure. If you don't care, you don't frown. Ergo: no wrinkles.
I'm clutching at straws here, I know  -  and I'm not saying that Peter Shankman or anyone in particular does or doesn't give a damn, either has or hasn't got frown lines...
But!  Some of the stories I read today have got me thinking about the words of my ballet teacher (many moons ago) and my grandmother.
Funny how words echo through the centuries ...
Don't fro-ow-n...ow-n...ow-n....  ...!

One Peter Shankman:  http://shankman.com/about/  CEO / Entrepreneur / Adventurist / social media guru : says people today have an average attention span of 2.7 seconds.

This picture appears on his webpage. Is he trying not to frown? 
Cause that's the face I'd make when my ballet teacher would tell me - as I tried to hold arabesque and leap on one foot - "Don't frown Lisa!".
And my grandmother tried unsuccessfully for years - along with others concerned with marriage-ability and such things - to stop me from frowning.

Don't frown, don't wear sneakers, don't run around barefoot, don't slouch, don't wear dresses too tight, or too short, or short shorts, 
don't wear jeans, don't swear, don't laugh too loud, don't point, don't drink ... there's so much more... sounds more like Iran or the Taliban doesn't it?
Golly. I think these rules are easier than today's rules ... No wonder people have attention spans of 2.7 seconds! Who can stand the assault!

 

How straight are your thighs (read thin), how broad is your nose (read fat), how thick are your ankles ... makes you want to hide online as photoshop avatar!

Never fear, evolution's here! I read today about an evolutionary twist in the story of humanity, a new process of natural selection, survival of the most beautiful.
Apparently, it is beautiful women who are having more children these days - which explains why the beauty of the world is so much more arresting in the 21st century.

For some reason I now think of shopping malls where I can't walk apace because if you have two large-ish women pushing trolleys and prams in a row there's no overtaking space.
Has anyone strolled around Garden City or Carindale lately?

This 2.7 second attention span that Peter talks about probably has something to do with the fact that a lot of STUFF today may not even warrant 2.7 seconds of attention!
 .... ....  ..... .... what? huh? Sorry, my attention span just collapsed ... and now I'm frowning ...   (} :-(
Perhaps this too is an evolutionary thing, this 2.7 second attention span, to eliminate the crime of frowning - ergo, beauty is preserved for the eyeballs of discerning observers.
And if you've reached this point then I've held your attention for more than 2.7 seconds. :)
