The Perfect Smile or A Plastic Stare?
January 2nd, 2012 | Posted by in Health & BeautyUsing remedies to enhance your appearance has been know since the beginning of time, but in the last few decades the dream of the perfect look has been pursued with an extreme aggressivity.
This boom may have started when visual marketing started back in the 1960′ies, and step by step we have been told what was hot and what was not, and the media moguls started trends that dictated how we would become better persons and how we could live a better life.
Today it is not unheard of that young teenage girls in many parts of the world receive new breasts for their birthdays, and a big part of both men and women have been under the knife in the name of beauty.
The more available and these methods and remedies become, the more we will see people looking more and more alike, and not lastly, often very unnatural, although the initial aim was to become more beautiful.
Very few celebrities can honestly say that they have not enhanced their looks by using plastic surgery, Botox or other drastic methods.
And there are some horrific examples of people who have taken it too far… in my opinion. These days actors feel the press of landing roles so much, that they can transform dramatically between two roles. Some “just” get a nip’n'tuck, while others go to more extreme measures.
However these days Botox has become one of the most used enhancement remedies, partly due to reduced prices compared to the past, and partly because it is less invasive than many other methods.
But come on, you can spot a Botox user miles away. All these (mostly) female Botox users, have the same swelling lips that just jump right into your face, and their full and smooth brows and cheeks just sit there immobilizing their faces.
They have become victims of one single global image of what we should look like, and there is no hope for a stop to this human remodeling.
Victims or NOT victims?
Pathetic or perfect?
Ugly or beautiful?
Right or wrong?
It doesn’t really matter, does it?
