I recently saw an advertisement for a Botox-like injectable and the tag line was: "Express Yourself". The model was lovely looking but we all know that with Botox injections, expressing yourself with facial movement is impossible. Didn't the manufacturers or the ad agency get the irony? Clearly they don't "get it." It's time for us all to wake up and "get it" and I don't mean Botox! Absolutely right, Pam!

It’s time for us all to wake up and “get it” and I don’t mean Botox!

And Meryl Streep, looking beautifully her age, is still one of the most respected and sought-after actresses in the world. Meanwhile, where is Demi Moore? Where is Meg Ryan? Both in their hey days were among the most highly paid actresses in Hollywood. What has struck me is that the starlet actresses, who resort to cosmetic surgery to retain their youth, don't have staying power. They complain that there are no juicy roles for older women, but in their minds, juicy roles mean the romantic lead roles appropriate for much younger actresses. However artificially young they look, they don't look natural and the public ultimately finds it creepy to know an over-40-year old is in the role of a thirty-year old. Would either of them ever get offered anyting like the Miranda Priestly role in the Devil Wears Prada? Meanwhile, we, the public, take our cues from them. Their surgery gives us permission for our own surgery. But the irony is, it doesn't work out too well for them. They still don't get the roles they want, and they become irrelevant because they were never particularly respected for their talent. But at least if they have complications, they can afford to pay for it. Not so for most of us. Cate Blanchett has said she will never have plastic surgery.
