[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to break it to the haters, but it is possible to get botox and still look relatively your own age and have wrinkles. It's not the plastic face that many people assume it is (though it can be, when severely overdone in quantity and # of areas). [/quote]

You keep telling yourself that, but you look like you have done botox if you have done botox.[/quote]

+1 Do you think people come up to you and say, "Did you get some botox done?" No. They go home and say, her forehead looks like Lake Placid on a calm day.

I cannot stand the look of botox. Like a bunch of freaks from another planet trying to pass as human. I can't watch the news when the newscasters have foreheads and mouth muscles that don't move. I just change the channel.

Botox is not different than foot binding. The things women do to their bodies....[/quote]

This POV is insane to me. This PP has clearly never had Botox, and the fact that they think they are an expert is baffling. Of course we all know what you mean about the overdone look. But for every one of those there are many more that are...just well done. Subtle.

I think half of these quips are rooted in jealousy and bitterness (even subconscious) and the others are just stodgy and/or afraid of intervention. Which is fine, on a personal level, but to attack other people with such vitriol and fallacy? Weird![/quote]

I am not the PP you are responding to.  People like you are the problem.  A different opinion from yours must mean they are bitter and jealous?  If people don't want to have cosmetic work done they must be stodgy and afraid?

Please get over yourself.

The vitriol in the world is all directed at people who don't focus on appearance.  You call them "stodgy" or "frumpy" or tell them they are "letting themselves go".  etc etc etc.  You all are just nasty.

The fallacy is the BS that you have been brainwashed with by the beauty industry so that they can make money.  It's really that simple.

No one *needs* any of this nonsense, but there are plenty of people like you in the world who are ready to insult people who age naturally.

Honestly F off.  We are not jealous of you.  We are annoyed by you.  [/quote]

Agree with all of this.

I don’t care if people get this stuff done— as a PP said some people may just enjoy the psychological boost they get when they get light injectable’s and it might be irrelevant, on some level, if it makes them look better. Or maybe it makes them look better! Whatever, it’s not my business and you do you.

What I object to is the people who think “well I do it so everyone must do it” (obviously untrue, maintenance Botox in particular really adds up over time and many many people don’t want to add the expense, just as many people choose not to do salon color or highlights and opt to color at home or go gray— many people don’t even have dermatologists they see regularly). This is a self serving belief that becomes toxic because of the attitudes PP mentions.

I assume most celebrities get some kind of beauty intervention, especially anyone over the age of 40. They have the money to do so and a vested interest in looking as good as possible. But other than the people who have obviously had invasive surgery or who clearly overdid fillers and Botox in ways that permanently altered their appearance, I don’t presume to know what. Maybe it’s Botox, but it could also be lasers or other less invasive procedures that improve skin texture and appearance.[b] I also think many celebs have really good genes and have also been taking good care of their skin from a young age[/b]— people who got famous in their teens or 20s, assuming they avoided the alcohol/drugs pitfalls, had good reasons to be extra careful about staying out if the sun, wearing spf and staying moisturized. Contrary to what some on this board believe, these long term habits absolutely help your appearance as you age. Lack of sun damage and avoiding alcohol in particular.[/quote]

Most celebs under 40 have also had work done. Avoiding alcohol won’t get you a teeny tiny nose or a less gummy smile.[/quote]
