Beauty | SJP's Mole Removal Starts Trend

 
**I wrote this last year when Sarah Jessica Parker removed her mole ~ I still think it's pretty clever so I thought I'd re-run it!**

Beauty marks, moles, spots ... whatever you want to call them.  As of today, they're out of style.

After centuries of basking gloriously on chins, cheeks, and peeking out next to eyes, their reign is over.  All it took was a snip, a bandage, about two weeks to heal, and hundreds of years of fashion history came crashing down.

When Sarah Jessica Parker  removed her mole recently, she defied Marie Antoinette and her heart shaped beauty marks.  The sexy conventions of Marilyn Monroe, who's beauty-mark was such a cause celeb and intricate part of her persona that nary a impersonator today would be caught dead without a well painted on spot.

Cindy Crawford's mole virtually had it's own entourage when she was actively modeling in the '90's.  Makeup artists took great pains to powder and accentuate it just right.  Press agents released statements about it - and women across the country painted copy cats on their cheeks to get the look. 

But while Cindy Crawford's mole may be her trademark, Sarah Jessica apparently didn't feel as affectionately about the bump that's been gracing her chin all these years.  So off it went, like Marie Antoinette's head.  And since it's SJP's spot, we know millions of moles around the world are headed for the same fate. 

The statement is clear - the mole is headed for extinction.  It's out of style, not fashionable.  If you have one, dump it off at your local dermie's office!  While you may still catch them in their native habitat for awhile longer, I fear for the safety of such well known marks such as those of Janet Jackson, Kim Cattrall, Julia Roberts, and Cindy Crawford.   At least we have their photos for posterity.  Note:  Madonna's upper lip mole was removed quite a while ago.
