I suspect that is where she picked up the habit with her lips because before then, she had not accentuated them as much until during/after her work with him.
Are you talking about duck lips? Because that's a disease that has been spreading into photographs all over the world. But, this guy could have been the first person to tell her "hey! This is how the fake girls all around the world pose!!"

However, there is a special love for duck lips in Japan, I think. I think someone on AHS once posted that girls in Japan like having those teeth that stick out of their gums on the top, because it gives them a natural pouty face when their mouth is closed. And girls with straight teeth try to emulate that pout and end up with duck lips.

Or something. I have no idea, lol
