The counter girl is lovely, striking even. She looks serene waiting behind the counter, but as we begin talking, I realize that something isn't right. She seems a bit like a computer animation - too uniform, too shiny. At first I think she's just wearing too much makeup, but then she laughs and I think it's something deeper.
Is she upset about something and trying to mask it? Is she slightly nutty and having trouble interacting normally?
As she shows me to what I'm looking for and laughs again, I realize that nothing on her face is moving but the corners of her mouth. The girl's entire range of emotional expression has been Botoxed into submission. Which, you know, is pretty hot.
