Start saving now for plastic surgery.  Seriously.  Everyone has pensions and 401Ks now.  Don’t you think your face deserves the same amount of respect?

When I say plastic surgery, I don’t mean boob jobs.  Don’t get one of those.  Fake boobs are so over, even Jordan has had a reduction.  What I mean is: eye lifts, chin lifts and face lifts (possibly).  I also mean: botox and chemical peels.  You should also save for expensive eye creams and face creams.

You might think me a horrible and vain person.  I wouldn’t say that I am horrible (not usually at least).  I am paranoidly vain, however.  I am also a realist.  I know we are not meant to bow to the pressure of the media when it comes to self-image.  I know that celebs and models look they way they do because of all the air-brushing etc. etc. etc.  I also know that, no matter what, we still look at celebrities as comparisons to how we are.

And let’s face it, celebs don’t age anymore.  Even male celebrities don’t age.  We are soon reaching a time when if we see a famous person with a wrinkle, it will look odd. How long before wrinkles start to look strange on ordinary people?

We live in a world where it is okay now to get old.  60 is the new 40, and 30 is the new 21and all that.  But even if you are old, it’s still not okay to look it.  People have to say you look “great” for your age.  There’s even a show dedicated to the quest of youth (Ten Years Younger) and that’s all ”civilians” going under the knife.  This is why it is important to start saving for surgery now.

While it is still a few good years before I will need to start reaching for the super-hydrating, anti-ageing, anti-oxidant enriched all-night eye cream, I know the time is coming when I will need it and most likely a lot more potions and lotions to stop my face from falling to the floor.  I want to be ready for it.  That means saving, because I’ll need a good surgeon.   Everyone knows there is nothing worse than a bad face lift.
