>I guess whatever level of inner peace you have eventually comes out on your face

I could not persuade myself that the men and women I met were not also another Beast People, animals half wrought into the outward image of human souls, and that they would presently begin to revert, - to show first this bestial mark and then that. But I have confided my case to a strangely able man, - a man who had known Moreau, and seemed half to credit my story; a mental specialist, - and he has helped me mightily, though I do not expect that the terror of that island will ever altogether leave me. At most times it lies far in the back of my mind, a mere distant cloud, a memory, and a faint distrust; but there are times when the little cloud spreads until it obscures the whole sky. Then I look about me at my fellow-men; and I go in fear. I see faces, keen and bright; others dull or dangerous; others, unsteady, insincere, - none that have the calm authority of a reasonable soul. I feel as though the animal was surging up through them; that presently the degradation of the Islanders will be played over again on a larger scale. I know this is an illusion; that these seeming men and women about me are indeed men and women, - men and women for ever, perfectly reasonable creatures, full of human desires and tender solicitude, emancipated from instinct and the slaves of no fantastic Law, - beings altogether different from the Beast Folk. Yet I shrink from them, from their curious glances, their inquiries and assistance, and long to be away from them and alone. For that reason I live near the broad free downland, and can escape thither when this shadow is over my soul; and very sweet is the empty downland then, under the wind-swept sky.

Island of Doctor Moreau, Ch. 22

Sly Stallone's mum Jackie has problems saying her own name with those inflated lips - it comes out more like 'whacky' - which is also true. Jackie has denied she's ever had plastic surgery

I was under the impression that the people in Hollywood didn't like to smile but now I know that they can't.When the skin on the face is pulled so tight that the eyebrows are lifted to the middle of the forehead it makes it painful to smile.What ever happened to taking care of yourself and aging gracefully?

Don't worry. Laz is wrong. Just refuse to ever utter the dreaded "o" word, and you'll never age.

Jocelyn Wildenstein. (sp?)

Was married to some billionaire and kept getting plastic surgery...the NY Post calls her "The Bride of Wildenstein" or "Cat Woman".

I feel sorry for him... It must be hard for actors to grow old gracefully.

Digging around led me to this page that has all sorts of celebrity plastic surgery links.

Some of them are pretty bad. Even sad. But looking through them did make me realize something. I'm pretty hot!~

That's a great site. It made my wife feel much to know Jessica Simpson's breasts are storebought.
