So the 'pillow faces' continue to pop up everywhere, joining Madonna and Kylie.
Those rounded rosy little chipmunk cheeks aint natural, they are the result of the latest trend for non invasive cosmetic surgery and fat implants.
Given the age old choice of 'your face or your arse', these greedy celebrities want both. They want to keep their size zero ass and the plumped up faces of youth, with their new, youthful glow seeming to suggest they may have had fat implants in their cheeks, causing the pillow face effect...
I always say live and let live. If you have the money and the inclination to tuck, lift or fill, feel free to crack on, but try to remember that with 'procedures' as with everything else in life try to practice moderation. Does anyone ever try to tell any of these women to stop before they take it too far.
Hopefully Daryl Hannah does, because if she doesn't stop soon, this poor girl is going top start looking like a duck billed platypus rather than a hollywood star.
Come on now Daryl, step away from the filler...
Queen Marie



i suppose i shouldn't but i kindof feel sorry for these celebs for feeling that social pressure to keep themselves from aging. but at the same time it angers me for the ancient argument that they are the role models and how will the rest of us ever be able to grow old gracefully, naturally?

They look creepily.

Now I can't get that image out of my head where they all get get their cheeks cut open so they look like gills and then they put minced beef-like dollops of their own butt cheeks to make their pillowy face cheeks. -- Oh, and now maybe you can't get that image out of your head. Sorry! ;-)

Like the others, I don't find this look at all attractive. I look forward to getting older, my face getting slimmer (again), and my glorious cheeks & cheekbones dominating my face.

Woooargh! scary yes. Kind of sad too, I agree with you mosey, that it must be awful to be under such neurotic pressure that you consider having your face cut open and bits of your arse put in. Ho hum

As the years roll on I think we should just get more and more avant garde, that way nobody gives a toss what your face looks like cuase your clothes are soooo amazing - word to Mads and Louis Vuitton, keep the wendy under cover vaginoplasty or not.

The quest for eternal youth is going to leave some nothing more than an extra out of a horror movie. I think a little subtle intervention is ok but there is a point to just age gracefully.

Sandra Bullock is going the same way. Did you see her on Jonathan Ross last night? Daughter apparent to the Bride of Wildenstein.

I didn't even know that was Catherine...my goodness.

Ahhh, I was wondering who that was in the middle and end pics. I would have never, ever guessed CZJ. Is that?! Pam Anderson? If it is, it is only because I guessed by the boobage.
Maybe my memory is shoddy after all these years, but I don't think these women had puffy cheeks when they were young. Did they?

Aging gracefully is an oxymoron. With a few exceptions, the whole thing is a nightmare. I want the cheeks but not the duck bill.

I prefer to see ladies like Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton, who look good for their age.
Posted by: Fashionitsa | Monday, 06 July 2009 at 09:07
yikes... well darryl hannah has looked that way for the last 10 years... and yeah.. as far as helen mirren, meryl streep and dianne keaton, they've all had some work done.
these are just extreme cases. i worked in the real estate industry in california for a long time and saw a bunch of people have work done. if done properly, it doesn't make you look younger.. it never does... but it does make you look like you're 'aging gracefully'.
personally i'm not against it, it's easy to say that you're looking forward to aging when you're 25, but when bags form under your eyes that won't go away, a wrinkle between the eyes that makes you look like you're frowning even when you're smiling these aren't the pretty wrinkles we think we're going to get.
honestly, i don't mind getting older, i just don't want to look like i'm tired and angry.
