I was checking email and got to the MSNBC home page. One of the article titles caught my eyes:

I've been thinking about this topic after seeing Priscilla Presley on Dancing With The Stars. I don't want to look like that at 62. She seemed unreal. So anyway I thought this is a good article, and puts things in perspectives, so I wanted to share it. |

I live in L.A., and some of the things I see here every day are downright scary. Where will it all end? Who or what will get us off this celebrity/youth-worship train?
I see everything from terribly bad/dark hair dye jobs to the waxy no-face-remains issues. It makes me think twice when I look in the mirror, I can tell you that.
Body Dismorphic Disorder is an insidious disease that creeps up on you. Much like an eating disorder (which I have had in the past, so I know how internal the whole thing is). We all need to keep at least one friend in our lives who will STOP us from doing stupid things to ourselves. Although I have a couple of friends who I am that friend for -- and my words failed to affect them. They had already panicked. I have another friend who I urge repeatedly to take care of herself. But she just complains about "getting older and greyer and fatter" -- as if good diet and self care has no real effect.
Did Priscilla think when she went on "Dancing" that people would say "My, she looks wonderful"? Was she blind-sided by the magazine covers and internet flames? Does she care? Since it can only be "fixed" to a certain degree, does she think of it often, or not at all?
Do these celebrities not research and get the VERY BEST surgeons in the country to do the work? How could Presley go to a renegade "doctor" for silicone injections? How does that happen?
Okay. I know. Being a celebrity doesn't necessarily mean you are either smart or rich. What it means is that you live by your image. Not your appearance. Your image. Which must stay the same or you lose your living and life.
Spooky stuff. |
