The Plumped Up New Face - Bizarre or Beautiful?

Cindy Crawford

There are definitely two camps in the anti-aging business when it comes to facial reconstruction.  Those who "do it", and those who "don't".  I found this article that talks about the fact that celebrities and others who can afford, are seeking the "pushed out rather than pulled back" new face look.  Faces are getting plumper, and this look is being criticized.

As the article states, you can't tighten a prune to get a grape.  All's you end up with is a tight prune.

Check out the article, Ageless? It is so Ageing, Darling - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2111494/Ageless-It-s-ageing-darling.html  by Mimi Spencer, Mail Online.

For an example of what kinds of changes can happen when botox and fillers are used, here's an article about our lovely popular, Cindy Crawford.  In this article, it is stated, "botox and fillers often have the unintended effect of making one look older."  Some of the comments report she is looking like Marie Osmond.   See what all the buzz is about here, in the article Cindy Crawford is different at the Caliche Rum launch:  Has she had work done? - http://www.celebitchy.com/213948/cindy_crawford_looks_different_at_the_cliche_rum_launch_has_she_had_work_done/ by Bedhead, Celebitchy,

Beautiful Older Women of the World

You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.  -- Anouk Aimee

 
Beauty is found in all ages and cultures.  I put together this music video because I wanted to showcase beautiful women from all over the world.  Whether they are wrinkled and grey, or have had surgery or botox, I think they are all beautiful in their own way.

Aging Beauties

Celebrity status depends a lot on how a woman looks as she ages.  Plastic surgeries, botox, and skin care can all help women "fight" the signs of aging.  Most important is how a woman caries herself as she ages, and what kinds of messages she gives to the world.  Some plastic surgeries completely change the look of how a person looks, and it's not always for the better.

Wrinkles and saggy skin are a natural part of aging.  Do images of aging beauties (that most likely have had a lot of help in the anti-aging department) harm people?  Or does it inspire?  Is this a positive view of aging?  Or is it unrealistic?

In the USA, there are many beautiful aging women in show/music business, and here is a great video I found on YouTube.com.  It's called, "20 Most Beautiful Women Over 50". It is set to an Etta James song. Not everyone can afford the money it takes to keep up with the wrinkles and sags, but here are some famous women who appear to be aging well in the looks department.

There are probably many more women that can be added to this list. Who would you add?

Age well,
