Or as Kathy Bates said to Frances Conroy on Six Feet Under recently when she was urging Frances to steal some lipstick, "go ahead, women our age are invisible". Madonna has addressed the issue saying, "what, I am forty? Am I supposed to disappear?". So why wouldnt someone who listens to this shit that society spews all the time not be afraid of aging? Why wouldnt they not automatically reach for the botox? shit. I guess its a matter of how you describe older women.

You're right, we should probably let this die before we bore everybody to death. But I would just like to point the hypocrisy of saying that women get botox b/c they are responding to society's view that aging is bad so botox is ok. But women who get implants are not responding to society's view that bigger boobs are more attractive -- apparently those women are just in the sex business or are lower class.
In both cases, women are doing something to make themselves feel more attractive. And both procedures come with serious risks. To say that one is ok, and the other is trashy is ridiculous.
