[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you saying that's not really what Gwen looks like - this photo is from a year ago. Totally what she looks like.

She looks plastic but pretty here. Her face doesn’t look as stretched out. She’s following a certain lifestyle just like you “no frills, no nonsense” types wearing LL Bean and walking your dogs. Yours is no virtuous or better than hers.[/quote]

I don’t agree with this. And I don’t see it as an honest argument. I’ve lived in big cities for most of my life and the truth is, when a thing hits that supposedly fixes a fundamental ‘problem’ with how a woman looks, the women who can’t afford that option or nope out of it are criticized. Be honest FGS. When blowouts became a thing in the early noughts, I had so many colleagues and acquaintances who opined openly that women who didn’t get blowouts were lazy and if too poor weren’t ambitious enough. Same argument - contemporaneous- about getting waxing services when J Sisters brought the Brazilian trend. Same argument when Botox became wider spread around the same time. There is contempt towards women there if they can’t economically choose that form of let’s call it “self-care” (another conversation) as just not being winners at life, too bad so sad! And there’s a bizarre torquing of essential concepts of feminism and solidarity where even pointing out - anonymously, not gossiping at school pickup or actually saying this - how damned freakish some of this looks is misogynistic. It’s a complex conversation. Women who age with essentially no syringe or scalpel based interventions from free choice or economic necessity don’t get praised - they’re treated as losers who’ve given up.  If we can’t yuck someone’s yum where that yum is Juvaderm, we shouldn’t pick and pick at women for the crime of “looking old” instead of Forever 38.

I went to a fancy-ish store in Manhattan this past week and Stefani-face, as seen in OP’s starter post, was everywhere. Not an exaggeration. It was really startling and didn’t look good. Going down the road of invasive dermatology just seems like a trap from my seat in the peanut gallery.[/quote]
