Guess what? There is a difference between basic skin hygiene, i.e. a skin care regime for basic health of the largest organ of the body and plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is not done for hygienic purposes. We all cleanse and moisturize our skin to allow it to function at peak performance. Plastic surgery has nothing to do with this. Cate’s right. It stems from fear. I don’t wash my face and use a mask out of fear of getting old. It’s just part of a healthy regime.

CB is right. David Bowie’s facelift was done so well. Anyone have a problem with that?

I agree with celebitchy on this one. Anti-wrinkle creams et al are less invasive then plastic surgery which has more obvious and dramatic results but all pander to the quest for youth and beauty. If you’re gonna slather on the face cream/mask to try and maintain your looks (she’s an actress and would be foolish not to) it’s not fair to blast others for doing the same although their methods might be more drastic. Problem is too many actressess nowadays go overboard. Nikki Cox is the most recent plastic surgery overkill victim that I can think of. Maybe Cate was too broad in her generalisation and she was talking more about those who overdo it. In which case she’s got a point.

Am I the only one who thinks someone as fair as Blanchett should have at least a bit of a forehead crease, she looks botoxed to me.

Sorry, Celebitchy, you are completely mistaken here. It’s one thing to protect and care for what you have. It’s another to try and erase what you have.

plastic surgery for wiping away years has always looked as though someone has actually stretched away the years. it screams mental imbalance, total mind control, not one thought in the head that is it’s own. creepy too.
madonna looks plain scary however many kiss up video’s to perez madonna scams to. she still has never mastered the art in hiding her scare factor. she is really scary. her muscles have been clenched for 50 years her facial skin cells ran to the dr’s screaming for the cut. from afar she has become what she dreamed of a youthful diva just escaped from her teens yet upon closer assault of the eyes she becomes he the old gay sailor that did gym.
funny not plastic.

This isn’t even close. There is such a gulf between buying a beauty product and getting a vanity plastic surgery that it’s even wider than the Grand Canyon. Sure, both are about looking good, but that is such a reductionism, it has no discoursive value whatsoever. Showering regularly is for looking good too; and so is gettin your nose hair trimmed. By the post’s logic, people who shower regularly can’t discourage people who get vanity surgeries, or else they’re just hypocrites. Cos, you know, showering regularly is just like getting vanity plastic surgeries…

She can afford the expensive skin care products, and there is a VAST difference between that and plastic surgery. I think I’ll never be into doing it, look at all the celebs that do it and end up looking like someone punched them in the face. Why do they pay surgeons so much money to fuck up their faces anyway?!?! Cate is damn straight up right!

I gotta agree with Celebitchy on this one. Cate said that people who get plastic surgery are self-obsessed and afraid. So what are people who use every cream, lotion and potion in the book to minimize wrinkles and “counteract the signs of aging”? If you’re going to use Cate’s logic, they’re just as self-obsessed and afraid. The results aren’t as dramatic, but the incentive is the same. Hell, I’m 37, and I haven’t met a wrinkle-reducing eye cream or face lotion that I haven’t tried (especially if it’s on sale). Sure, I tell myself it’s all part of a healthy little “skin care routine,” but really, when it comes right down to it, it’s because I want to look as young as possible for as long as I can!
