As someone who has a wife that watches those terrible house wives of… shows it’s absolutely sad how they all have all the money anyone could ask for yet do these absolutely horrific botched jobs to themselves and somehow think they look better this way. I have come to 2 possible reasons, 1. Nobody is willing to actually tell them just how awful they look now, or 2. Everyone at that level does actually believe this looks better, but only because it’s a status thing? I guess a possible 3rd would be that so many people they surround themselves with look like this so they all believe this is what true beauty is?
It’s just crazy to me that anyone would go through all this effort to modify themselves so badly AND pay a ton of money and time to do so. 99% of the time the before always looked wayyyy better.
I read on lemmy a few months ago that the botox works great until it doesn’t, because it changes the underlying pockets of skin. I didn’t really understand completely but they were very confident that that’s why some stars that look not so great now, but looked great 10 years ago. It’s a subtle thing over time for the stars.
I don’t really know about everywhere else but the places I’ve been stateside, even in some really more underserved areas, there seems to be a really weird cult of money, status symbols (including people) and masks. It’s terribly hmm, dare I say “plasticine.”. Shakespearean, even.
lmao, she looks like someone is stretching her face

The bourgeoisie have always been this way. It is not a new phenomenon.
See, e.g., logo-centric Louis Vuitton purses in the suburbs.
Yes. Or LV garbage bags. Just eww.
