Is it For Real, or Is It Satire?

This week's spread on Aspen's un-celebrity side, as it were. "The Other Side of the Mountain," for the mag's 12.18.05 issue.

Photo #1, "The Locals." This couple, described as "real Aspenites," is pictured by their outdoor swimming pool, in which is submerged their differently-surnamed daughter and her un-surnamed friend. Ski runs visible in the background.
Botox factor: hard to tell, it's twilight and they're too far from the lens.

Photo#2: "The Refuge." The wife of a business man, seated beneath heads of beautiful animals alive until sometime in the 1960s. Ugandan elephant tusks unviewable but reportedly standing sentry at entrance to the dining room. Wife is interested in food allergies.
Botox factor: either extremely high, or airbrushing is back.

Photo #3: "The Mountain." Wide shot of new-snow patch of mountain with woman in furry hat blocking some of the range behind. Sno-Cat posed at subtly rakish angle.
Botox factor: I'm thinking medium.

Photo #4: "The Frequent Flier." A couple posing in sunglasses within sneezing distance of a private jet. Features the only ugly piece by J. Mendel I've ever seen. Unseen: gallons of fuel burned up by this handy vehicle.
Botox factor: Kinda can't tell.

Photo #5: "The Picture Window." A misplaced photo. Belongs in a Lauren Greenfield collection.
Botox factor: Ooh, baby.

Photo #6: "The Members." Two women with long hair and intense stares. Quoted text tries to convey the idea that Aspen is not about the scene but the mountain.
Botox factor: Acceptable.

Photo #7: "The Log Cabin." A man seated in front of a fireplace whose chimney is supposedly composed of . . . rocks from the Colorado River! Man is wearing sunglasses. Cost of man's parka: $4,485.
Botox factor: Might be none.

Relative Relief Photo, Mind Cleanser: "Ad for American Indian College Fund." Foreground, woman in red; background, Flathead Reservation (1.2 million + acres, Northwestern Montana). Mention: Salish Kootenai College.
Noted: we're off the mountain.
