Everlasting Gobstoppers and other age-defying tactics

So I was sitting on a train the other day minding my own business and I couldn’t help but notice a lady sitting in the opposite aisle who’s face had had a lot of work done, and I mean a lot of work!! At a guess she was maybe late 40s. Anyway she was working away on her iphone or blackberry, whatever, some mobile contraption which meant she was way too busy to notice me staring at her non-wrinkles.

Her face looked kinda bloated and her lips were way too puffy. It distressed me. In an effort to look younger she looked more like a freak stuck in a permanent fish bowl…how does this look good??? Where are her friends to say “honey…just let it go”?

Of course once you start, how does it stop? On the flip side look at Demi Moore, the girl looks good no? She should be the official advert for plastics, has bagged a man half her age, and doesn’t look like she has had an ounce of work done even though she has openly admitted it. But let’s not kid ourselves here ladies, and this is what I think separates the Demi’s from my train friend.  Demi had the work done but still takes damn good care of herself – why else would her butt have looked so flawless as her erm slightly immature husband posted a pic of it on twitter? You can bet your life Demi eats well and trains her butt off for that ass (no pun intended), whereas my train friend, let’s call her Trouty, probably got the work done, and has done sweet FA for the upkeep.

Now we’re all about the natural route at Fit Girl as we love older women whose lines are on the face but still have a sparkle in their eye, to us that is true beauty. But if you do go the plastics route, we think there should be some form of regulatory system…

a. Hunt down Demi’s surgeon and only let him do the work if any!
b. Once you’ve had the work done, train your ass off and don’t eat crap
c. Don’t deny you’ve had work done, it’s boring cos everyone knows that you’re lying
d. If your husband posts a pic of your ass on twitter fly-kick him in the head!

So that’s the regulatory system, in all of it’s officialness!!
