Gotta get this off my non-surgically-enhanced chest...
During lunch some of our staff watch soaps. You know, The Young and Restless stuff? What gets me is the amount of botox and plastic surgery that all the actors, men and women, have had.
It has gotten to the point that when I see those lips puffed up like twin slugs, I know they've been injected. The lack of "worry lines" on the forehead--botox. The lack of movement of the upper lip and subtle lisp--more botox. The general smooth, pulled back cheeks--a facelift. The bionic cleavage--gallons of silicone. It seems pretty much universal, even among the younger actors.
I am also starting to see it among a certain sector of the public who obviously want to look "young" forever. The problem is that I HATE IT. I can't stand that look. It literally makes me queasy.
For the record, I like my ladies to be curvaceous, non-surgically enhanced, with nice, not-too-sun-damaged skin. A few wrinkles are OK and in fact encouraged--it means they've lived a little!
