The Answers to the Luscious Lips Quiz
A. is for Angelina Jolie — looking sexy.
B. Lucille Ball with her famously red hair — and out-of-bounds lips.
C. Jessica Simpson with puffy lips. Were the Botox rumors — as well as the lips — overblown?
D. Mamie Gummer of “Emily Owens MD.” A fun show. And Mamie can express a lot with those skinny lips of hers.
If you got Hedy Lamarr right, you’re pretty vintage yourself.
If there had been Botox in the 1940s, would Hedy and Lucille have opted for the needle instead of the lipstick brush?
If you identified Mamie Gummer’s mouth, you’re maybe a fan of “Emily Owens MD.”
I sure am. A very fine actress, Gummer’s going to go far. And she’s got no worries. Her lips can’t possibly get any thinner.
And, who knows, with Gummer to lead the way, maybe thin is the new plump where lips are concerned.

E. Condoleezza Rice. Her upper lip is fading, but it’s still plumper than mine.
F. Scarlett Johansson. Sexy lips. A gift from Mother Nature?
G. Actress Hedy Lamarr — 1940s mouth and eyebrows. This was a tough one! Triple points if you got it right.
H. Oprah Winfrey. Soft lips, sharp mind.
I guess I’m gonna haveta watch more TV or something because I only identified Lucy’s lips. Never heard of Mamie!
I think Mamie’s show, “Emily, MD,” is going to be cancelled. Too bad. She’s charming. But I’ll be we see her elsewhere.
This is really fun! Because of the title, it ended up in my spam which automatically filters out anyone trying to enhance my lips apparently!
Good to know — in the future, I’ll think twice before mentioning quiz or body parts in my titles.
