I think yes be transparent so we all know that ‘look’ has been bought and paid for because it’s disingenuous to pretend it’s your olive oil skincare routine, eating clean and barre classes.

But it just becomes something else for some people to covet and strive for who won’t have access to the top docs or the money for them so will make bad choices and get into debt or use docs that aren’t as good and we up with another round of ‘my botched plastic surgery: I just wanted to look like kylie’ on ch5 and on the front cover of Bella magazine.

As celebs age they often keep going with the surgery striving to maintain the effect and go from once looking pretty great to looking ridiculous cos they don’t know when to stop - Sharon Osbourne for one who once had great surgery but now looks like a horror. I do think Jane Fonda still looks fabulous though and I love her 😍

Also, seeing people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s all with Botox and pumped up lips just means 20 year olds look 40 not that 40 year olds look 20.

Love this take Laura! I think we have to consider the prices these people are paying too - the girl who does fillers in her spare room down the road won't give you the same finish that Kylie's aesthetician will.

Was I the only one that said out loud Holy Fuck when Lulu jumped on stage with Rod?

I’m on a FB page for plastic surgery as I was looking into hooded eye work. The photos definitely put me off. I also think it is ostentatious conspicuous consumption too. 😬😁
