Thank you Lavonya!

This woman's skin is beautiful but she's 75 years old!!! In my humble opinion that's not normal! We've been through so much to earn our wrinkles. Sure we'll do what we can with creams and healthy diets to make them less noticeable but darn it we can look good and mature at the same time!

Ok. I'll hop down off of my soap box now. lol

This is really a tough subject for me.

I'm trying very hard to accept my aging appearance. It's not easy. If I wasn't afraid that it might get botched up, I'd go under the knife for a mini-lift to correct the marionette lines. I don't really care so much about crows feet, etc.

I wouldn't mind looking younger than I am, but when I think of the confidence and power I have acquired throughout my life, I want it to show (but with a proper jawline!!) :-)

You might think this is really stupid, but in trying to overcome my angst at growing old, I've look at a lot of photos of stars without makeup, not airbrushed, just doing average everyday things. Hey, they look just like me!!! (Except Madonna, who is my age and has had some pretty amazing surgery.)

Take a look at Helen Hunt. She is sort of an inspiration to me. She is definitely showing her age, but I think that’s cool to let it all be real in Hollywood while fans are finding fault with the fact that you have allowed yourself to age. She knows she is no longer an ingénue, so she's grown up and ahd begun directing. It reeks of confidence! Go girl!

Maybe I can grow up as well!

Oh...one thing Helen Hunt appears to have is a nice chest. Me? Well...

Wrinkles are personal...Joan is in a profession where they are obsessed with 'youth'...until we can send the message it's ok to grow old on camera, it will always be the same...Nobody in my family looked their age, I think genes have a lot to do with it, also taking care of your skin...I can never go under the knife (skin condition) or I would end up looking like Frankenstein's monster!! Technology is dictating what is 'normal' or not...either you do or don't...at least you have a choice!!!

I think Joan Rivers and Helen Hunt are two extremes. Joan is like the (very expensive) fairy tale and for all I know Helen could be resisting the vanity trend. Whatever her reasoning, I looked at her self confidence and not her wrinkles.

I thank God we live in a free country and I understand the "to each his own" theory.

As for me; I'll thank God for what he gave me and take care of me the best I can. : )

Joan Rivers' face gives me the creeps. It is just so Not Right. I'll tell ya, Joan Rivers has always, always had a mean mouth about other people's appearance (Oh! Grow Up!!)

I wonder if Joan's body matches her face? I'd like to see her in a bathing suit! smile

Miss Rivers admits she has had so many face lifts she can't count how many! Of course her skin is going to look good! If she looked that good "naturally" I'd give her a thumbs up but hey, like anything else if it is from the hands of a Dr then big deal, anyone can if they had the money whether it is multiple face jobs, boob jobs etc! Not to mention how much make up is applied to any of these female actresses you'd need a shovel to scrape it off!

Lol. I see I'm not the only one that's not impressed with what money and doctors can do to Joan's face. My dad used to say that if she didn't stop getting face lifts her eyebrows would be up in her hairline. lol
