cosmetic surgery?

[Virgil]

Virgil- those are some great pictures. It makes me think mom is right when she says getting old is hell. Did you know that Botox was included in the list of WMDs unaccounted for?

I don't know about WMDs, but botox is a poison. They are actually injecting poison into you (I think more specifically into the local muscle) when they inject botox. I think it's to relax the muslcle by weakening it. It's really a horrible thought and I can't imagine why people would do that. You might as well get a face lift.

But I can't help but laugh at the image of two boob shaped pieces of plastic resting in the soil once a corpse has rotted.

How funny!

No. Imperfections are beautiful.

I wouldn't get any cosmetic surgery as I am now, but if something happened to me and I was somehow disfigured, I would probably do it.

Does anyone remember Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing? She got a nose job, and she looked totally different. She had sort of a biggish nose, but on her, it was perfect (I thought). She had a very unique, individual look and she got this drastic change to make herself look like everyone else and I was kind of disappointed. I liked the way she looked before, but then again, she was in entertainment and maybe it was something she felt she had to do. It may not have had anything to do with her career at all. Big, distinctive noses of that sort run in my family also, but someone how I got a normal size nose and I remember thinking when I was little that I hoped I didn't grow up to have a giant nose like that. I got my wish. I still can't say with any certainty that I wouldn't have gotten a nose job if I had inherited the schnoze, despite what I think about Jennifer Grey's nose job.

Well I'm a girl too and I will never ever do any cosmetic surgery unless I'm disfigured.
I mean how horrible aging can be , wrinkles and lines are not that ugly, sometimes beauty is in imperfection, and none can prevent time from doing his job .
The whole stuff of injecting Botox or getting your nose,breast or thighs done is meaningless, it's a complete waste of time, money and energy. I guess it just spots light on how ugly it turns out to be.

I love the little imperfections in people, they make us more human. More beautiful.

I don't think I could ever get cosmetic surgery. Even if it would be guaranteed everyone else would like it. I would.

Sex reassignment surgery, is something else. And maybe. But cosmetic surgery? No.

I'm not sure why celebs do it so much. I mean, a little nip and tuck here and there to fix something, if indeed something was very wrong with the appearance, but I mean all these boob jobs and nose jobs and everything, it's over the top. You are all beautiful, just the way you are.

Especially celebs, that's why we love them so much. Covering yourself in plastic cosmetics won't really help you're appearance, just make you look more plastic and fake.

It's true - so many women dye their hair - it's more than anyone really realizes or thinks about, I think. And I think if my hair was turning gray I would probably start dying it too.

I have about 5, well-hidden white hairs And I've just turned 26 and I have black hair so I do notice (but I have loads of hair so I know how to hide the creepy things) and everybody just tells me 'well dye your hair' and I'm not into commitment so I don't want to be committed to dye... (not to "die" LOL)

I used to dye it with henna. It's said to be good for your hair. you are right about the chemical stuff, that's a bit more obnoxious but I think it must have gotten a lot better over the last couple of years. The bleach I'm using now does make my hair a bit dry and bushy, but all in all, it doesn't have much of an impact, seeing as my hair is curly and bushy anyway.

Forgot about henna, yeah it's said to be nice. I used to be really into "natural" but then I did try cheap dye just for the fun of it.

I don't remember the nose but the whole of her look was so incredibily irritating... But then thinking about it the whole movie is one of the most irritating things ever produced, so is it her look that influences the movie or the movie that influences the look?

I know a girl who had a nose job, the first time I met her (she was a friend of a friend) we were 16 or 17 and she had a big patch on her nose and I thought she had had some accident, didn't ask cos it didn't seem polite, and then I learnt what it was about That's so weird. She looks like a Barbie doll anyway, not sure how the nose was before but no one who knew her before said it was particularly bad. Eek.

Koa excuse my laughing but your post is soooo me.

No one believes me cause I otherwise look quite young but I sometimes find white hairs too and pull them out. Not allowed! Although my hair is brown and sometimes blondish, so maybe they don't show up as much anyways.

If you girls have any white hairs at your age now (and I think all three of you are in your twenties), then you will definitely be grey at a fairly young age. Sorry to bring you the bad news. I'm sure all three of you in ten years will be dying your hair.

NO NO NO if you pluck them out then more of them grow (some people say 2 for each one you get rid of, some people say TEN )!!! I just cut them, 'course they'll grow back, but at least only in the same amount...

VIRGIL: now that's gratuituous cruelty, we know it very well. But my mum said she didn't go white that young so what's wrong with my DNA Maybe it's modern life, or stress, or pollution, but I refuse to have white hairs, to age and to grow up

Well, if I have to have grey hair then...

I think that if this were true men going bald would just start pulling out their hair.

yes I'm prepared for that inevitability . . . my dad and his mom both went gray quite early. but my mom (55) and her dad (80!) have barely any gray hair. I think I got my dad's hair genes though, alas.

hahaha. yeah, I read somewhere that it wasn't true. but who knows, maybe it is . . .

Actually I got the same split between my mother's and father's side of the family. Unfortuantely I got my father's side of early grey.
