Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Faces | Elyse Georgeson

1. Nose scrunched up, trying not to smell, eyes crinkled as much as the nose

2. Eyes half closed with a half-smile, an expression of contentment

3. Eyes not focused, muscles of the face relaxed, the glazed look of someone who’s thoughts are elsewhere

4. Eyes closed, no expression, the peaceful innocence of an infant asleep

5. Eyes scrunched together, cheeks lifted up, lips curved in a smile as she guffaws

6. Bottom lip stuck out in a pout, eyes pulled down at the outside corners to let us know she’s sad

7. Eyebrows raised, eyes wide, a look of nervousness on a cat

8. Mouth pulled down at the corners, eyebrows slanted into the nose, water gathering in theinside corners of the eyes, an expression of one who’s about to cry

9. Squinty eyes, the rest of the face flat—annoyance reigns

10. Lips pulled into a line, eyebrows drawn down against the tops of the eyes, a look of anger

11. An expression of anger changing suddenly into an expressionless face--run from ultimate rage

12. Eyes wide, looking earnestly, pleading for a favor

13. A plastic smile, tension in the forehead, eyes not smiling, the look of one who doesn't want to be here

14. A pen stuck between the lips, teeth clamped tightly, eyes focused intently on the paper in front of them, utter concentration

15. Eyes lifted up to the sky, face dreamy, faint smile, one who's lost in a daydream
