Clique Girlz third wheel Ariel Moore says her farewell in a YouTube video that is a sheer delight for fans of Lie to Me, the entertaining new TV show based on the work of behavioral scientist Paul Ekman, who has trained himself, as Malcolm Gladwell explained a few years back, to read people's minds based on fleeting "microexpressions" in their faces.
Here are a few freeze frames of expressions I probably wouldn't have registered before I started watching Lie to Me. Bearing in mind that I've never actually tried this before and that I'm not a hundred percent convinced it isn't all a load of hokum, I'm seeing... sadness tinged with disgust when she talks about her former bandmates and flashes of anger when she talks about her fans and her future.
And while we're studying Miss Moore's face, I feel compelled to revise my previous remarks about her physical attractiveness. Freed from the Clique Girlz heavy-handed stylists she's actually quite decent looking.
By the way, do you think it's really hard to be a guest actor on Lie to Me? If the whole premise is that your expressions give away your lies, how can they not give away your, you know, acting?
