Face the music
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?

We can have even more fun now that even Ariel's sister Alexandria is trying to piggyback on the Clique Girlz' fame.

Didn't pick up on the microexpressions while watching it. I was distracted by pearls of wisdom like "I just had to do what's best for me, I guess... At the end of the day, I guess that's all you can do." At the end of the day, maybe. But first thing in the morning, how's about a shift at the soup kitchen?

The double posting definitely adds to the verisimilitude.

Take a young girl thats obviously been through something painful..post pictures of her online with an insulting but oh so seemingly benign analysis of her facial expressions as an excuse to personally attack her.
Lets see here what else can we do to not only drive the knife in..lets gleefully twist it a bit shall we? We need to SEE THAT PAIN AGAIN! WE NEED TO FEEL IT!
Lets slyly suggest to the people who are supporting this young girl thats shes angry at them, and lets make uninformed, crass comments about it to feed our own personal needs.
And at the end of the day..we shall all congratulate ourselves for demeaning and hurting a very nice young girl. Congratulate yourselves and give high fives all around ladies and gentlemen!
At least in the end Michael Clayton had a conscience.

I, for one, am not waiting until the end of the day, but going ahead and congratulating myself right now. Congratulations, Vance!

Finally, some comments that see thru BS, and Ariel's self proclaimed "sweetheart" syndrome. Nice piggyback catch Steve. Did anyone catch the blurb online that Ariel's mother was her personal manager and went everywhere with Ariel that the group went. If things were so bad, what kind of mother would allow their 14 year old daughter to be subject to that for all that time? All the video's and episodes I watched of the group saw Ariel laughing and having much fun with the other girls in the group, even the latest video's at Christmas on their tour bus. Check out their last CG's TV. Somethings wrong here. Someone is lying about why she left the group. Is Ariel being coached to LIE. Can someone " Lie To Me " please.

This is getting really old . Anyone could see the girl was unhappy. Whatever the reasons ,we need to stop hurting her and her family. Honestly, no lies here , they have been through enough. The parents cared more for her emotional well being than a paycheck. They just want their daughter happy and calling Ariel a liar when she hasnt said anything about the Monroes is just enough. She has handled herself very well and just wants to move on. Anything being said about the monroes is coming from other people not the moores . So calling Ariel and the parents liars is pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Ariel is not going to say anything bad about anyone which is why she said " I will not say why I left the group " . Please leave her alone !!!

That comment by CliqueGirlzTrue might hold more validity if it werent coming from the Monroe family themselves. You expect people to believe that crap? Such animosity! A liar? careful careful!
tsk tsk!
