So many in Hollywood have a natural beauty when they start out. That & talent (even more) is what leads to their success. The artificial faces we are seeing among the stars is grotesque to me. The noses are so narrow, I can't image normal breathing function over the long haul. Their cheeks look like someone implanted a plum under their eyes. The chins are pushed forward, they are in perpetual state of surprise, & their mouths & foreheads barely move. Each of these attributes, with the exception of the botox look, occur naturally, but when God creates a face, He doesn't include ALL those attributes on ONE face. He uses balance & symmetry to make the face look interesting & beautiful.

I hate to see these faces in 10-20-30 years, when their skin starts to sag. They'll have shallow indents surrounding spherical shapes. They'll look worse than some of the space aliens at the movie theater! I also agree that it sends out a terrible message to the children & young people in our society. The kids are told they need to be stick thin (anorexic), blonde/red/brunette (hair color of the season) & have all these weird facial features to be "BEAUTIFUL," when that couldn't be further from the truth. When I look at some of the actresses out there, I hardly recognize them anymore. For example, Meg Ryan used to be that adorable girl next door. I loved her in virtually everything she was in! Then she had "the" plastic surgery, the one that makes all the actress look nearly identical (i.e. the Joker face), and I no longer find her the least bit attractive or interesting. You can tell I'm not the only one who feels that way, as she's virtually disappeared from films. What she does now is dark & edgy & I have absolutely no desire to watch. I miss the Meg Ryan of 'You've Got Mail' or 'Sleepless In Seattle.' That Meg Ryan had star power, because you could imagine her as your best friend or next door neighbor--adorable, perky, funny & sassy.

I won't go into further mention of our JAG stars, but they've both at least dabbled. CB as you mentioned earlier & DJE had to have had Botox, since his forehead & upper lip don't seem to move in all the recent picture I've seen. At least Botox wears off, if it's over done!

I know Hollywood & sports figures say they don't want to be role models for our children, but like it or not, they are the face the kids see everyday. I wish we could get past the "plastic look" and age gracefully. That doesn't mean we can't change clothes, hairstyle/color, etc. Those are all external, temporary & reversible. The plastic changes, not so much. The actresses of old aged gracefully, & in the end, those who do, will be the true beauties in their 60-80/90's. These cosmetically "created" beauties (?) will look hideous as they age.

Having said all that, I think both CB & DJE are role models where it really counts. They both seem to be devoted to their families & helping those around them. Those "inner" beauties shine through far more their outer appearance! In the ways that really count, they are head & shoulders above most of the current stars in Hollywood!!!
