Les Bijoux Indiscrets

Les Bijoux Indiscrets is a gallery of objects that hold bodies. Subduing eyelids and locking smiles, wetting epidermis and extending the penis, the bijoux change faces into golden masks, lifting breasts and replenishing buttocks. Cosmetic orthopedics moves digital post production from pixels to complexion, while ensuring eternal youthness and peace of mind and promising long-term satisfaction with chemical formulas, synthetic colored shells, and lovely words.
