Once the preserve of fading Hollywood stars and retirees to Miami, it seems now that going under the knife, injecting paralysis inducing toxins and lip fillers all, in the pursuit of vanity, is nearly as common as brushing your teeth. I’m not adverse to a few enhancements, such as tattoos and piercings, you understand, which I consider to be an expression of one’s self, I’m not talking about those pop stars either, from the 70’s and 80’s that try desperately to cling onto the youthful look they once possessed, when topping the charts and mysteriously end up in a time warp of their best self from forty years past, dying what’s left of a pony tail and their beards, desperately trying to maintain their relevance rather than accepting that they will never be twenty again. I can’t work out whether or not they think they look good, if its some sort of delusion, caused by the quantity of drugs they consumed back in the day, but equally perplexed as to why their friends don’t take them to one side and say something!
