We seem to hate ourselves. We cowtow to the new younger generation. We are fired because we are older and make more money than a 20 something would. We are cast out regardless of our expertise and intuition by our own peers, and so we want to hide behind the botox to say that not only are we worthy but that we can also play the youth game.

I will never use botox though I used to dye my hair until recently and in resolution to my self loathing, I cut all of my dead dyed hair off.

This is our generation’s answer to my mother’s generation of the comb-overs, bad wigs and blue hair I suppose. 

These celebs probably go to the same doctor who provides the same triangular puffy cheeks, the fuller African American lips, and hallowed out eye lids. It’s obvious when they (try to) smile.

Cher, Meg Ryan, Nicole Kidman, and Sheryl Crow should stop. When I see Carol Burnett & Burt Reynolds with that ‘wrap-around’ look, I can see the crease. What happened to Kenny Rogers’ face? Now Bruce Springsteen’s (triangular) smile is being questioned…A form of self loathing has infiltrated our generation.

This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode, "Number Twelve Looks Like You" where everyone submits to a surgery where they end up looking and thinking like everyone else. 

How far off are we from that?
