Television Obsession

Los Angeles is one big advertisement against plastic surgery. I have never seen so many oddly ageless, bleached blonde, skinny and deformed looking women in my life. My feeling is that it might be dangerous to make your own decisions about what you want to look like. For most women it seems to result in puffy and lumpy lips, tight shiny skin, and pointy noses. Overall the effect is disorienting. I know that what I see in the mirror is distorted, because I rarely have the same opinion about how I look day to day. Some days I think I'm fat, other days I look skinny, sometimes my skin is glowing, other times it's horrendous. I clearly have no perspective. Therefore I think it would be terrifying to make some sort of lasting medical impact based on my self assessment of what would make me look better. It's also incredibly creepy not to have any idea how old someone is.

I take it all back. Los Angeles clearly dominates New York City in the celebrity viewing face off. But, you apparently need to be invited to a Hollywood party before the sight of so much celebrity interacting together will be revealed to you. I was lucky enough to be invited to a premiere party last week, and I saw one of my all time favorite celebrity hotties - Keanu Reeves. Keanu is extremely good looking in real life. And I think he is aging very well - adding a little rough and tumble to the pretty boy looks. In addition, I really freaked out at the sight of Adam Brody. He's shorter and skinnier and wears tighter jeans than I would have hoped, but it was still pretty exciting. Other celebrities in attendance were Woody Harrelson, Parker Posey, and... Prince.
