Dear Alice,
I just don’t get it. I go to the drugstore and there are all kinds of crazy products that claim to give you a “small face.” I’ve seen facials and massages for the same purpose. Then today I saw a magazine cover with “small-face hairstyles,” which I guess are supposed to make your face look smaller. What is the big deal with having a small face? Better yet, what the heck IS a small face? I can’t tell, even after more than five years in Japan.
