Why do people have to mess with their faces? Ok, so I am going to wax on plastic surgery.

Why do people have to mess with what they have? Ok, I’ll admit, in my battle with my weight, there are times I have said if I had the money, I would get a tummy tuck as the tummy/middle are my problem areas, I won’t lie and say I haven’t thought about it, but it’s not something I am going to do it. I’m going to keep working out and running/walking, watching what I eat and juicing to get where I need/want to be.

There are people who legitimately need the help that plastic surgery can do for them. The extra skin from major weight loss, an injury, possibly something that happened at birth, reconstruction, possibly augmentation when you weren’t blessed, as they say, but within reason. I mostly get when there are things you might want/need based on age, but that still makes me nervous.

Plastic surgery is not something that is always within reach financially, so it’s not the average Joe or Jane who can go out each week and get something done. The people I wonder about are those that go crazy with it. Joan Rivers, I still remember her original face! I’m not sure she does, but she says the same thing. I remember watching Death Race and I had to do multiple takes and look up on imdb.com to be sure that was Joan Allen! I was watching something with Olivia Newton John, what happened? Dolly Patron, aside from her obvious “attributes” I always thought she was a good looking woman, now, it’s plastic. Meg Ryan was one of the first to set off Hollywood in recent years, she was so sweet looking, I can’t tell you how many times I went to get a hair cut with her picture as inspiration, then she had her lips done and its like they precede her everywhere she goes!

The thing that made me think of this was I was watching Once Upon A Time and Rose McGowan was on it, it took me a minute to realize who it was and then I looked at pictures of her, um..not so much.

There are also the people who have money who are obsessed with plastic surgery, the human Barbie doll wanna be’s, it frightens me. Don’t they know that if Barbie was a real woman, she’d tip over?

One of the things that got me a while back was the movie, The Women. It was a remake of The Opposite Sex, which was a remake of The Women. The original and then this one had only women in the cast, from the main characters, service industry to the animals. The Opposite Sex had men and women in the movie. The original is my favorite, with Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford, the story is all about the dichotomy of women. So, here is my point, I know, finally… At the end of the latest version, there was an interview with the actresses in the movie. They were all talking about how naturally beautiful women are and all but maybe one or two had had work done.

I agree, we are all beautiful just the way we are, I know, I should listen to myself and if you want to change something, change something, but you still have to start with loving and like who you are.
