Plastic People, Plastic Feelings?

Even I, who secretly loves to pick apart the perfect people, think this story is just kinda mean. As she tells in her book, Teri Hatcher got a call from a magazine that wanted to use her picture to demonstrate all the cosmetic surgery she needed. Doctors were to weigh in on her imperfect visage and declare their plastic prognosis. She gracefully declined. At least they gave her the option to decline...

So I want to know why a Hollywood woman can't age like a normal woman? If it's not the 30-something botox brigade, it's the genuine (ha, the irony) plastic people. The few that keep it real, still look beautiful because they look confident and content with themselves. Good grooming, good genes and a good attitude can go a long way. I have no problem with surgery that corrects a real problem, or with facials and spa treatments, cosmetic dentistry or Lasik surgery. These are things that can genuinely enhance one's daily life.

The only think I liked about Desperate Housewives was that Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman looked somewhat like real suburban housewives. I'm in suburbia and I'll tell you that Eva Longoria is not walking around... maybe her slightly uglier sister, but not her. I want to give a shout out to those who are taking the high road - even if it is paved with wrinkles and cellulite. These celebs may have tested the waters - but thankfully they never dipped more than a toe in the plastic surgery pool: Jamie Lee Curtis, Oprah, Ellen Burstyn and Robert Redford. Even Jane Fonda is on the bandwagon now. Laugh lines are beautiful.

On the other hand, the ones that don't go gracefully into that good night look odd and ridiculous. Look at Vivica A. Fox - does that look like a movie star to you? She's in good company at the freak show... have you seen Mariah lately? 36 year old face my ass! I'm 36 and I know what that kind of ass looks like. heehee. It's getting out of control - I beg of you to stop— Ryan Seacrest, Meg Ryan, Star Jones, Kenny Rogers, Melanie Griffith, Mary Tyler Moore, Melissa Rivers, Farrah Fawcett, Mickey Rourke, Ashlee Simpson and Catherine Zeta-Jones. All that silicone is just going to pollute the earth when you die. Save the planet if you don't want to save yourselves!

You too can do your part to stop the madness -- don't believe that you have to have surgery to be beautiful - that's what they want you to believe. Don't watch Dr. 90210, Extreme Makeover, the Swan and all those other plastic surgery makeover shows because they just insult the rest of us... good looks don't solve problems. If no one is coming in regularly for body overhauls - then maybe these doctors can go do real medical miracles on the world's children who are born with endless birth defects. I mean really - who other than porn stars needs to have their anus bleached?
