A mouth stretched from ear to ear in a look of screaming fear. Lips like a clown, eyes like a toad. Oh, good grief! a missing nose, Ridiculous boobs, a face that can't move, Chipmunk cheeks on forever young freaks. Not a wrinkle in sight but it looks like fright night, It's probably a good idea to avoid Looking at celebrities in the tabloids but after such a horrible sight I view my wrinkles in a different light.

If there was a surgery for poets and their poetry, I would have that annoying, blank, undefined space between the lines removed. Ya, know the ones everybody talks about em, "Just, read between the lines" How embarrasing. I feel so exposed. Love Tracey. |

Ida, when it comes to wrinkles, and gray hair, I have always said. I have earned every wrinkle on this face, and every strand of gray hair on my head. |

Hi Ida, few are proud of what they are and many are not. Wrinkles add to the character of the person more. Beautiful thoughts, hope the celebs are reading this. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Limelight and darkness are close friends, share the room. You have made a truth bare. Dazzling. |

when it comes to wrinkles, I just get the iron out and press them ...after all, wrinkles are simply the evidence of experience in the furrows of life |

LOL at Steven's reply. Wrinkles are beautiful, plastic faces are not....botox lips and other body parts are ridiculous. I love it when the artificial goop travels to a different place than intended (unless of course, it was necessary to correct serious burns, scarring from accidents etc).  |

There is "grace" in old age but grace is such an old fashioned word that most people would rather not have anything to do with it. I'm with you all the way when it comes to keeping wrinkles - may not like them but, hell, they're mine! Enjoyed your look at "plastic".Helen |

No kidding! Did you ever see Goldie Hawn in "First Wive's Club" - surely that will make any woman stay away from Botox. Love this one, Ida. Xoxoxox Alison |
