One, or Two?

I had to go to the eye doctor recently. Besides the stinging eyedrops that dilate your pupils and the fact that the opthalmologist spends half the time two inches from your face - thank God for Tic-Tacs - I hate…and I mean hate…the part where they flip back and forth between prescriptions asking you “Which is better? One, or Two?….One, or Two…One, or Two?…ONEORTWOONEORTWOONEORTWO!?!?!?!??”

I DON’T KNOW THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME TO ME!!!!!

Deep breath. I’m good.

Anyway, in honor of my last trip to the eye doctor, I thought I would give you all a couple sets of two photos each to look at. Hopefully, it will be obvious whether “One?” or “Two?” is better. And hopefully, it will be way more entertaining than the doctor - although I can’t promise you still won’t walk away from your monitor squinting.

Now. What I would like to know is, do these people not have any friends? I’m not saying they shouldn’t have friends based on the fact that they both so obviously had horrible plastic surgery/Botox jobs…what I’m saying is, didn’t they have any friends before? Anyone who could take them aside and say, “Dude/Girlfreeeeeeend…for reals, lay off the Nip/Tuck antics. Enough’s enough.”

Since those photos hurt even my blind-ish eyes, here’s an example of someone who has aged gracefully and very obviously taken care of herself. We’d all do well to do the same.

Mickey Rourke scares me. I assumed his character in Sin City was mostly costume, but apparently that wasn’t the case! Oh my.

Meg Ryan makes me sad. She used to be as cute as a button. Young Meg Ryan, cute. Older Meg Ryan (She was 40 in Kate & Leopold), cute. But Meg Ryan after going under the knife looks like an obsessed fan who had lots of plastic surgery done so she could look LIKE Meg Ryan.

Airbrushed photos vs. non-airbrushed photos are fun! They make me feel ten times better. If that’s what airbrushing does to people then I could look that good, too! Except for the first one, I don’t know what went wrong there.

Oh- Em- Gee! I have to admit that the “new” Meg Ryan has me wishing I knew her doctor so I could slap him/her. What is WRONG with people?? And I am wondering, also, where are their friends?? My girls would NEVER let me get away with that. My sister would be the first to have a t-shirt made that said how stupid I look with guppie lips. LOL

Ugh. When you look like a cracked out version of yourself… the word of the day needs to be “enough”.

We all get older. That’s how God intended it. Get on board and enjoy the ride, people. I’ll be 35 next week and there is NO plastic surgery in sight! HAHA

Kev :: It’s so sad. He used to be such a good looking guy. Same with Meg Ryan - she used to be so cute and perky, now she looks like someone took a skillet to her face and then fixed it with Play-Doh. So sad…

Erin :: Too bad it’s impossible to just airbrush ourselves in the morning. Might save a lot of money on makeup!

Corrina :: Same here, my friends will be all up in my Botox-ed face telling me if I don’t knock it off they’re going to tie me to a chair in my living room and never let me leave the house. Happy early birthday!!! I can say with first-hand knowledge from looking at your photos you do NOT look 34-35. ;-) (And, by that I mean you look younger, not like you’re 90!)

You probably don’t believe me, but I’ve had 11 plastic surgery operations on my face. I want to look like the Marlboro Man.

Ahem - Julie Andrews is one of us, unfortunately. It’s unfair to expect humans to be able to equal Martian standards of ageless beauty and perfect diction.

Marvin :: Dang. How can I become a Martian, if that’s what I’ll look like when I’m 70-ish???
