Try Bangs Instead of Botox

As I near the big 4-0, I do get a bit obsessed sometimes with my forehead. Even though I try not to be vain, my forehead wrinkles bug me. Furrows are growing...they will become prominent some day, I suspect. Argh.

Botox is not an option for me. Even though I live in Los Angeles surrounded by women with stretched faces, I just could not do it. I already know the health issues that can arise from Botox (paralysis, anyone?). It also just seems so...fake.

I recently changed my hair back to having bangs (something I have not had since college). Voila! Not only are they cheaper than Botox, they are healthier too.

Some are now calling for a black box warning on Botox, due to 16 deaths and many more complications. Really, is beauty worth dying for? All it will get you is a man who is interested in you for your looks, not for who you are. Then he'll dump you for the next Pretty Young Thing that comes around. Who needs that?

I'd sooner shoot chewing gum into my forehead.
