Not to belabor it but the practice is so bizarre.
We probably all see photos of ourselves that strike us as poor likenesses-—the driver’s license photo, for one.
But how detached from normal perception must these women be?
Worse yet I know a few women-—not many and not closely, because they travel in a different set-—who were beautiful in their youth and still striking and attractive in their sixties but have gone on to have these surgeries and implants...and my lord but they are ruined now.
I was at an event recently in which a local luminary was speaking...while his once-ravishing wife hid in an adjoining hallway because her face is twisted and lumpy and horrifying and she knows it.
Yes! I completeley agree with this. I say this all the time, they think, especially with social media, that they are living these mini-Kardashian lives. Look at me, I live in a McMansion and take selfies with my Starbucks cup (from the cleavage up only) 15 times a week, I am the same as Kim Kardashian.
Funny. I believe I’m good looking but, really hate pictures of myself....
In my house even the mirrors lie.
I stole mirrors from a clown house.
I look funny in some, skinny in others
They lie...
How did his face swell that badly and his windpipe not swell shut?
Here’s the “real” secret: Even the KARDASHIANS are not “really” living a mini-Kardashian life. (Heck. Look at what lengths Bruce had to go to sort of escape that trap.)
We’re all just human beings. We all (hopefully) have to sit on the pot a few times a day; we all can only be in ONE room of even a McMansion at a time; we all can only wear one garment at a time; plastic surgery doesn’t last and eventually slides south; we can only eat one serving of food at a time (unless we get bulimic & upchuck all day); Walmart sunglasses work the same as the expensive designer shades the Kardashians sport; we can only drive one car at a time, be it jalopy or Mercedes; etc.
I’d move somewhere; but we’ve moved to the sticks 30 yrs. ago, and that’s about all we can do. If I didn’t watch tv news or the internet, I wouldn’t even know anything about the Kardashians (I really don’t know much about most of the “celebrities” anyway.) We almost have to watch the local weather news in order to be informed about any tornado warnings in our area.
Well, I’ve written a short story here & I’m no author. Have a nice day, week, month, year; enjoy your food & be who you are.
I wasn’t referring to myself as living a mini Kardashian life but I get your point.
I know. I got your meaning. (Most of us on here are retired or else hermits when we can be.)
