Mole mapping

This was the map I found last week that I spoke to the class about!




from the source:

"RED colored words are positive
BLACK colored words are negative
feel free to add your own notes
this word "凶" shows up a lot in the mole map. it refers to a non-specific unlucky thing. according to the text to the left of the drawing of the girl, it could mean bad luck in your career, marital troubles, losing money, a sickly body, your friends are gonna bring you troubles (like they'll borrow money from you), etc..
i grokked this mole map from a mole buster's night market stall in taipei. the mole-buster's mobile number is on the lower right of the flyer. call him to arrange for a mole-removing session (in case your mole happens to mean something unlucky)."

Face Mapping for Acne

When I did a google image search of face mapping, this advertisement came up for dermalogica. What I found really interesting about the advertisement was the language used in it. "With Dermalogica's unique Face Mapping zone-by-zone skin analysis, you can discover the real reason behind your skin concerns." (emphasis, mine) Similar to the language used in describing the face as the window into the soul and discovering the true person, apparently the face can also give information concerning acne and other body ailments. It also reminded me of the face maps that came up a lot in the film Chinese Box.
