WHAT HAPPENED TO AGING GRACEFULLY

Remember when celebrities having plastic surgery was taboo?  Everybody did it, but nobody would talk about it. And when it was revealed, it was a scandal!

These days some  celbrities deny having work done, but a majority of them , aren’t.  As a matter of fact, some are  just downright gung-ho about it.  They tell you how many procedures they’ve had, and that it’s something they will keep on doing in the quest to be “forever young”.

While I don’t personally ever want to go under the knife  (only in an extreme situation would I even consider it), I don’t see the harm in it. Just as long as they don’t alter their faces too drastically, then by all means, do you, but when you begin to look other worldly, or like you’ve stuck your face out the window at 75 mph..then there’s a definite problem.

Although these and other women/men are perfectly within their rights to alter their faces whenever the fancy strikes, when is it too much?  What about the unscrupulous doctors that perform these surgeries without being certified as was the case with Dr Jan Adams, who inadvertently killed Donda West?  Why aren’t these doctors refusing to do work on these celebrities who continue to push the envelope by having more surgery?  Yes, it is supply and demand, but what about ethics?  Why aren’t these doctors required to refuse someone who is obviously addicted to having plastic surgery?  Instead of giving them their fix, why aren’t they referring them to someone who can give them some mental counseling to get to the root of their image issues?

When I was sixteen, my mom bought me a curling iron, a bottle of Liz Claiborne perfume, and a pair of Guess Overalls for my birthday.  Now parents are gifting their daughters with nose jobs, and bigger boobs, and butt implants.  I have no daughters, but I can tell your right now that this is a problem.  Bad parenting comes in all forms, and allowing your “child” to have major surgery to fit some ideal of perfection is insanity.  Understand this; there is no such thing as perfection, and this male driven obsession with how they think a womans body should look is darkly disturbing.  Not only is it delivering a blow to the womans self image, but it is also putting them at risk, and this is passed down from mother to daughter.  I often look at people who have destroyed their faces, and I wonder at what point did it become an obsession.  I wonder if they see what I see when they look in the mirror.  Sorry for the rant but I needed to get that out!

So anyway, your face contains muscles.  Just like the rest of your body, if you exercise your facial muscles, it will cut down on the aging process.  This is a no-brainer, but vanity is often stupidity’s twin sister.  Of course as Americans we have become accustomed to being lazy. Instead of losing the thirty pounds by changing the way we eat, and excersing more we’d rather pay out tens of thousands of dollars to some quack obgyn who claims they are board certified. We want what we want, NOW and we don’t care how much it costs, or the risks involved just as long as we get it!
