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 | Laura Spencer

1. A yawn so large it seems the mouth is too large for your face, eyes shut tight.

2. Left side of top lip lifted in a curling sneer--a tight kink.

3. Slack mouth, closed eyes, a trickle of drool trailing after on the pillow.

4. Covering their mouth with a hand, they turn away coyly, eyes tear as they titter out their laughter.

5. Left eyebrow raised, head cocked to one side.

6. Mouth pursed after biting into a sour plum--eyes squinting open.

7. A fake smile full of teeth--now you know why a smile in the animal kingdom means agression.

8. Eyes heavy on the verge of sleep, deep purple shadows emphasize the eye sockets. The back of a hand comes up to rub at them.

9. Narrowed eyes looking down and to the side over the shoulder.

10. Faint smile that never reaches the eyes.

11. Eyes sparkling like liquid diamonds, face turned up toward her partner, mouth subtly curved--almost demure.

12. Upper lip raised off teeth, pushing air from the back of the throat, eyes glitter strangely, nostrils flared.
