The Post in Which I Beg for a Moratorium on Botox

After watching last night’s episode of Glee, I can do nothing other than beg the women of Hollywood to lay off the Botox and plastic surgery.

Olivia Newton-John was so pretty until the heavy hand of her plastic surgeon had his way with her face. She looks so stretched out and bizarre that it is hard to imagine the fresh face of her youth. Jane Lynch looked fabulous in comparison—she may have lines, but she still looks human.

And there are so many others. Courteney Cox may deny that she has had work done, but her face didn’t look anything like that on Friends. And Jennifer Aniston’s aesthetic manipulations made it nearly impossible for me to pay attention to Marley & Me when she was on screen.

I want more stars to follow the lead of Virginia Madsen, who uses Botox to soften a few lines without compromising her entire look. See her talk about it here.
