Want to get a taste of what 40+ looks like in Hollywood these days?
Then check out Glam’s Fabulous after 40 list of glamorous celebrity A-listers! Demi Moore, Madonna, Ellen Barkin, Halle Berry, Mariska Hargitay,Sarah Jesscia Parker and Vanessa Williams have never looked more gorgeous.
Yah, Yah we know they nip and tuck, they have personal trainers, hairdressers, make-up artists, stylists, but still, they look hot! You gotta have some gals to ooh and ahh over for inspiration.
Others we’d add to that list….Marcia Cross, Jodi Foster (didn’t she look age-mazing on the cover of MORE mag this month?)Halle Berry, Virginia Madsen, Angela Basset, Paula Zahn…the list goes on…
Love the way Demi Moore makes fun of the fact that husband Ashton is a young buck while she is an “old lady”.
You gotta have a good sense of humour after 40! Demi knows that Life is too short to Be Frumpy! She’s working it, staying healthy, taking care of herself. We think all her efforts are well worth it. She looks fabulous! Go Demi!
Vanessa Williams is open about it, Jacqueline Bisset thinks it’s freakish and Jayne Seymour slams it, even though she’s admits she’s tried it herself.
What are we talking about? Cosmetic Surgery, of course.
It’s so in your face these days (so to speak) that who hasn’t thought about trying botox or even having a little nip or tuck?
But even though it would be nice to look as young as you feel, nobody wants to feel pressured to have cosmetic surgery just because everyone else is doing it.
And who wants to go through any pain or complications or, God forbid, end up looking like Joan Rivers.
To have it, or not have it. That is the question. How do you decide? What’s really involved in having cosmetic surgery? How safe is it, and are the thousands of doctors out there practicing really qualified to do it (or have they just taken a weekend course somewhere?)
There’s a new website called that can help you make up your mind. It’s called Be Wise about Beauty. It’s sponsored by The Cosmetic Surgery Foundation and gives you info on popular procedures, common misconceptions, and qualifications your doctor should have.There’s even a little Beauty Monitor Quiz you can take if you’re really on the fence.
Funny, but this whole cosmetic surgery debate, for or against, seems similar to the split women have when it comes to childbirth. Should you deliver “naturally” or have an epidural?
There’s no right answer. It’s a personal thing and it’s really up to you. No need to explain yourself to anyone. Just make sure that if you do choose to do it, you’ve researched it thoroughly and are realistic about the results.
