Sorry if I offend anyone but here's how I feel - plastic surgery purely for vanity purposes (not from being disfigured) is totally fvcked up in my book. It never, ever looks good. I know this is an especially awful example, but come on, show me one where you couldn't tell.

I was at a training conference recently, in a room with probably 200 people, and suddenly it occured to me - so many people dye their hair in colors that make it obvious that they dye their hair. Everywhere I looked, there were blondes with that odd shade that doesn't really exist, oddly chunky highlights, unnaturally red streaks. To me, I don't see pretty hair, I see the word FAKE HAIR written all over them. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE screams their heads. I know I'm in a minority on this, but I can't get over it. To me it's as crazy as Louis XIV powdered wigs.

I realize my border line is about permanency. If you put a ton of product in your hair and it can wash out, then I have no problem. If your hair is permanently dyed, and you keep dying it to maintain an "illusion" (um, if I can tell your hair could never naturally be that color, there's no illusion there) then that's crossed a line for me. It's funny though, because if you style your hair every day, isn't that just as fake, really? Odd how my brain works. Natural colors? Somehow I feel ok with that. I guess the measure is - can I tell at first glance?

Anyway - plastic surgery never looks right. And it always means you've cut into your own flesh to strip it off. I simply cannot believe how socially accepted this is. To me, it's a sci-fi nightmare turned reality.

iSm, you look fantastic for your age! You, of all people, do not need these shenanigans.
