Sagging Naturally
I don’t understand the appeal of Collagen injected lips.
When a recent Dancing With The Stars contestant took to the floor, I was reminded of Batman’s great nemesis, The Joker. Then today I saw a recent photo of one of the Vegas Stars. Her lips were so engorged that her cupid bow flat lined and her smile was dead. As unnatural as a pregnant frog.
I am reminded of childhood games, when we stretched our eyes, cheeks, and lips through the most extreme contortions. I was quite often the winner of silly face competitions with my impression of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. (I can still do it.)
Some of today’s celebrated faces would put my creation to shame with the twisted looks they’ve fashioned with Botox, Collagen, and Lifts.
The female celebrities aren’t the only ones that give me pause to gasp.
Just the other day I leaned over in my usual head down manner to blow dry my hair. I made a turn just in time to observe my jowls, cheeks, eyelids, and eyebrows respond to the unfortunate call of Gravity. The skin around every feature in my upside down face extended upwards towards the floor.
“Oh My GOD,” I shrieked. “I’m Wayne Newton!”

Uh huh. And Wayne Newton looks like a wax dummy in Madame Ts.
Gives me the creeps. *shudder* Kenny Rogers? *shudder* For what? To look younger?
I have sagging jowls and eye lids and may not look 16 anymore but I don't think I could be a late night talk show punchline either!
As always, it is so good to come visiting here
Love,

I couldn't believe the size of her lips when she came back for the 100th show. How can she possibly think that looks even slightly attractive!
xo
I really think we need to see a photo of you contorting your face, or even a video.
Check THIS out.
TRY THIS INSTEAD
*giggle*
Who in their right senses would pay to get a rabbit in the headlight look, not me!!
There are some awfully gorgeous older celebs who haven't had anything done and look fabulous. I admire them for their restraint!
I just read your comment at the back porch. I have a Tamron 18-200mm lens, I've had a couple months. It seems to help with the blur factor. I also shoot on auto pretty often and edit in Picasa2 and PhotoFiltre. I read somewhere, shooting RAW and editing later is a good idea too. I have to admit I take several shots, to get one that I like!

Though I am a number one candidate for a face lift, what I've seen is enough to scare the doo doo outta me!
of the men having work done the two that disappointed me the most is Wayne Newton (he was very handsome BEFORE he did that) and the other was Charles Bronson. His "lines" were is fame and he had them stretched away.. so sad.
those pouty, puffy, gross lips are the worst!!! Can't the "star" see how ugly it has made her... ICK!!
Wayne Newton... LOL Now he's a piece of work.
Thanks for the giggle...
Distracted for a minute.
You are TOO funny. And I have caught my face doing the same thing ... it just does it in photos, house mirrors, car rear view mirrors ... window reflections. I'm beginning to think that story I saw is true. I put on a great outfit, put on great make up, and then BAM some weird lady in the SAME outfit and the SAME make up JUMPS in front of me right when I go to stand in front of the mirror and RUINS the view! Someone really should tell her that that outfit looks TACKY on her and it doesn't hide her fat roll at ALL. AT. ALL. Shade of lipstick is all wrong too.
Just listed you as one of my fav blogs at Wonderful World of Weiners. Cuz you are too funny, that's why. She's listed on my blogroll if you'd like to check her out. She's dang funny.
Buy stock in botox.
Yeah, now that I'm nearly 38, the mirror isn't my friend anymore.
In other words: I hear ya.
I agree with you so much on the lip thing. It NEVER looks natural. Most of them look like they should have a spear in their hand.
In my opinion, Wayne Newton isn't mentioned enough in blogs, lol.
Thanks for that visual.
Funny girl, you are though...funny girl!
:)

Have you seen the movie based on "Skipping Christmas?" The name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, it's the one with Tim Allen & Jamie Leigh Curtis - oh, "Christmas with the Cranks." I LOVE the part where Tim gets a fake tan and botox injections. When he's eating lunch with his wife and his face is frozen and his skin is orange is absolutely hysterical!! And exactly what I thought of while reading your post. :D
