Marie Osmond’s New Face: (On Aging Gracefully)
Have you seen Marie Osmond’s new face? Of course you have – it’s all over the television. The first time I saw that new Nutrisystem commercial I thought, “She looks sort of like…
WAIT A MINUTE.. that IS Marie Osmond.” Except that she appears to have someone else’s lips pasted on her. Maybe they’re Meg Ryan’s old lips; she has new ones too. And don’t even get me started on Priscilla Presley:
- Priscilla Presley’s bad plastic surgery
MUST we do this, ladies? Each of these three women, all of whom were knockouts, caught the same awful disease at about age 50; the one that told them “You’re fat, you’re old, no one is ever going to hire you again unless you lose that weight, lift those eyes, ditch those wrinkles and get with the program!
Arguably one of the most powerful women in the world, Hillary Clinton is still judged daily on her clothes, hair and weight. Tim Gunn of Project Runway recently dissed her for “dressing like a 
dude” and compared her style to shelf-paper lining. Does anyone care what Timothy Geisthner wears? Not that men are immune to vanity; there are few worse examples of plastic surgery than Kenny Rogers who doesn’t even look like himself anymore. The first time I saw him on television after his surgery I seriously thought “Who is that Kenny Rogers impressionist? He’s got him down cold!” There’s a whole webpage dedicated to Kenny Rogers’ plastic surgery!
I was evaluating my own webpage recently with an eye to making some changes, and decided that it was definitely time for a new main photo. The one the first page is probably 7 years old. Don’t you hate celebrities and politicians whose PR material and campaign signs show photographs that are 20 pounds and 10 years ago? And it’s a cinch that I’m not going to lose 20 pounds or get any botox between now and the time I grace Mark Rash’s studio. So what I AM going to do is aim for what these three beautiful women have done: age gracefully. So here’s to you Helen, Jamie Lee, and Meryl. Watch for my new photo coming soon to a computer near you.
