I'm interested in what he said to you about how much upper lip to take in.
When I took the one lesson lesson with him in D.C. that I mentioned, I hadn't yet even thought seriously about double lip, but he talked about it. He mentioned taking in a "thin membrane" over the top teeth, which is advice I've carried in my memory but could never really execute, or at least as far as I understand what a thin membrane of lip should be - it was too painful.
I'm doubly interested now in view of Tony's reprise of his 2006 post about symmetry. When Wright said that to me, I was still 4 or 5 years away from finally changing and I never really thought of the relationship between my upper and lower lips. Even when I switched, I took in what felt comfortable to produce the result I was after. Do you remember any more details of his approach as he taught it?
