Cindy Crawford: 'My 11 years of cosmetic surgery'

[VainJane]

^ It's because as men get better with age (or not, whatever the case may be) they start to notice the younger girls. This sends a message to women of the same age that to be considered attractive, they need to look younger.

It's a trade off if you think about it. Teenaged boys are attracted to older (or at least, more mature looking) girls and those that aren't try to look older.

It's ironic isn't it, that even in an industry (the beauty industry) that's geared almost exclusively towards women, men still yield so much power.

Scary but true, O Wise One

I'm not surprised Cindy got cosmetic surgery; she looks fabulous and I'd do the same thing if I were her age. With that said, it's a bit sad that she's selling those anti-aging creams

She obviously had a brow lift( only fessing up to injections.) The skin has settled so that she doesn't look as surprised as she used to. Remember when she started wearing bangs?
As far as admitting to botox, etc. I think she is getting back at the company who make this cream she pitches. $$$ problems. She also criticized Revlon of abandoning her contract because she was "too old". Later she admitted it was she was asking for too much money and Revlon dumped her. Julianne Moore is older than she is and she's a Revlon spokesperson.
This "isn't this refreshing honesty" is standard Crawford b.s. In her prime years she would claim that she was uncomfortable about her body in a women's magazine and be posing nude in mens magazine during the same month.

I wonder this all the time. Men can even get away with extra poundage more than women can. It just really makes me afraid of getting older.

Ugh, me too... isn't it sad? Even the most confident women are faced with this, I would say...

I understand the annoyingness to some that Cindy was selling products making women think that that's the only thing she does to keep pretty and youthful...but that aside...

What's the big flippin' deal? If someone wants to have plastic surgery - go for it! If you're not happy with your looks (or fading looks in this case), well congratulations - you're in the same boat as most of the rest of the population.

I'm so tired of all these magazines and blogs, etc...talking about "OMG so and so got a nose job, or a chin implant!", etc.... Why can't people just do what they do? I understand bad plastic surgery jobs, or waaaay too much surgery. But something here and there...just let people alone. This is a screwed up society we live in today and, as unfortunate as it is, that's just the way it is.
In the end, beauty and looking your best comes out as the ruler when it comes to people who don't really "know you."
I like people to "age gracefully" as much as anyone else. But I'm not the one waking up every morning saying "i'm Cindy Crawford and I've lost my looks." She is. So I can't talk.

I'm glad that she's being honest about it... but it's a horrible way of telling ordinary women that "I've got botox. I've got surgery and I'm hot. You'll look like me if you get that stuff."

 

[MissWednesday]

I'm only young myself but I already fear the future where I'll be older and ignored by society for being ..an older woman. It's very sad to think that men "improve" with age, yet women are told after the age of 30 they are no good anymore.

No wonder plastic surgery is so popular!

 

[Lamees]

I am 38 yrs old and never have had any botox or anything of that kind, never will.
Yet, I am constantly told by people of all ages (strangers who know nothing about me and do not "need to" compliment me at all, but just get genuinly shocked when they learn my real age) that I look no older than 25 (when I was 35 I heard I looked 18 quite a few times). My face and body look young, no wrinkels anywhere (not even crows feet), no sagging, flat stomach after 3 kids with no stretchmarks - just good genes. I will never be jealous of celebrities who "have to" have a face lift and plenty of botox injections at this still young age (past 30) to keep up their looks! Actually, I feel sorry for them.

If they start with botox and brow lifts so early, that means they age really fast! I still have nothing to lift

 

[SiennaInLondon]

it's just so disappointingn to me that this is all becoming so common...

but-
isn't this false advertising..
shouldn't there be some law against this???...
i mean...she SELLS ANTI AGING CREAMS!!!...
and she's not the only one either...

it's completely misleading to the consumer......

Yes but what about those waxing adverts where they wax hair free women. I wanna go catatonic everytime I see them

^ You have to be talking about Veet. That ad makes me furious. The woman is INANE.

 

[Plastic'sWife]

Well, she has her line of skincare products that almost guarantee rejuvination...?
