Ouch.
Well, this should be interesting - people injecting themselves with Botox? I am envisioning the purchasers winding up looking (temporarily) like stroke victims, with lopsided smiles or completely immobilized faces. You just KNOW some people will try to get rid of ALL their little "character lines" and inject the stuff EVERYwhere :O&
Here's one example - Priscilla Presley laughing hysterically at a very good joke:
Well, or who knows? Maybe we can dispense with another medical (though cosmetic) expense? After all, people do inject themselves with other medications like insulin.
Well, the young men have The Dangerous Book for Boys.
ReplyDeleteApparently their moms want in on the "danger" action.
:O) My kids have those books and they are really cool - there is also one for girls!
ReplyDeleteLOVE The Dangerous Book for Boys!
ReplyDeleteMy second daughter surprised me a few days ago by referring to the "BoTax" correctly in a sentence. I had no idea she paid so much attention...
I just had passport photos taken yesterday. My hair is still pretty much brunette (I don't color it) but gawd knows my face could use some botox. That just isn't going to happen though, I think it's horrible what many women (and apparently, lots of men now too) will go through for vanity reasons.
ReplyDeleteSo I think it's just creepy that people would want to inject themselves with Botox. Lord almighty, just look at Nancy Pelosi; and no one knows what the long-term side effects may be...
"BoTax"
ReplyDeleteafw, lol!!! I haven't even heard of this before, you've got a well-informed daughter there :-)
Years ago, before Botox took off in such a big way, I heard that Elle MacPherson (famous model way abck when) had a lazy eye and her doc would inject the eye with killed botulism. It would then relax into normal position so that she could have her piccie taken without looking at both edges of the page simultaneously.
ReplyDeleteBoTax. Funny :O)
florrie - you know Daughter #2. The things she comes up with!
ReplyDeleteThe other day I walked in and she was singing and dancing to SexyBack (the radio version). She's normally so straightlaced that I've been teasing her about it ever since.
She said that when she goes to convent she's going to sing, "I"m bringing Jesus back..."
I'm not sure if she means literally or figuratively.
When she goes to convent, holy cow!
ReplyDeleteThe sisters will be so proud :-)
Tom's parents tried to nudge both sons to the priesthood. Luckily for me, it didn't work. I know my SIL feels the same, heh heh.
Seriously, it was from the old-school Irish tradition of giving a son or daughter to the church.
She's a smart one alright. I have a Halloween picture of middle daughter (I'd guess she's a zombie? along with Annie Oakley and Captain America) on the bulletin board wall here in the office.
ReplyDeleteI love that pic.
Oh florrie - I'll send you pictures of them doing their sports! They look AWESOME! Um. I might be biased... :P
ReplyDelete#2 read a story when she was in 2nd grade about Gladys Aylward, and while Aylward was not a Catholic, #2 was totally inspired by what she did and wants to do that herself. She translated that to Catholic - voila! Convent.
Except not really convent, more like missionary.
Oh, that makes sense. When it's their own idea/goal, I think it's great.
ReplyDeleteI'd love some more pics, afw. Since we don't have kids it is always fun keeping up with the younger generation from our friends kids and our nieces & nephews.
