to think some women get it SO WRONG when trying to look younger

I am not anti-plastic surgery at all. I find it all very interesting. However, I constantly see examples of women who in trying to look younger, do the opposite. I was reading this and the DM claims that people think she is the sister of her daughters. She is 39 but if you scroll down, particularly to the last pic, she looks significantly older.

  • cascades of peroxide blonde hair extensions
  • ginormous boobs
  • over-inflated lips
  • PVC miniskirt.


I think all of the above makes you look older. If you want to look 25, then dress like a 25 year old. And have surgery (if you must) to look like you did at 25, not like a Bratz doll.

Sorry. Just had to get that out of my system Grin.

They are all delusional.

What makes you look younger: a natural baby-face, naturally full and elastic skin, thick & glossy natural hair, slim figure, youthful muscle tone.

What does NOT make you look younger: obviously fake anything - boobs, hair extensions, collagen-enhanced lips, hair colour.

She looks every bit of 39, and ridiculous with it.

Oh, and as usual, the DM is just making shit up.

Not for a second does anyone think she is the sister of those teenage daughters.

If she wants surgery for whatever reason then go for it, but whoever told her that she looks significantly younger than 39 needs to get to Specsavers.

Her boobs are so veiny, they look like my nan's.

The thing is, you can fake looking younger... stay slim, work out, natural-looking hair extensions, lip fillers to replace the volume to that of a 20 year old, natural-looking fake tan... the problem is these women get it SO WRONG.

The article says she's obsessed with looking "plastic". If that's her goal, I'd say she's achieved it.

Yes, but I think she genuinely believes she looks younger...

I remember when I was younger, older ladies trying to look younger would bleach their hair and wear leather miniskirts. The hairstyle was always 10 years out of date and no young people wore leather miniskirts at that time.

Her poor kids! I'm all for women being able to do what they want with their bodies, but when your kids are being teased for it at school you need to rein it in a bit. She looks good from a distance but way older than 39 when you get up close. Bad plastic surgery just ages you.

Yes, I also feel sorry for the kids. She could invest that money in their education or help them get a foot on the property ladder. Blatant selfishness..

The DM had an article about a similar woman a couple of years back. Her DD was about 6 year old and she was talking about her dreams for her to grow up and become a model. The poor child was so plain and definitely not model material. I often wonder about her.

On the other hand it's also possible to dress young and look fab.
Really admired an older (about 60) ladies outfit the other day and would have liked it for myself (28)...she wearing dark jeans, slouchy leather boots, a teal slouchy jumper, long dangly necklace, jacket and red leather rucksack....she looked a lot more stylish than I did that day. Her hair was up in a chignon type thing and was a bit brown and bit salt and pepper.

In the photos of her when she is younger she is very pretty. She probably would have aged well of she hadn't messed with herself so much Sad

Platinum hair is so ageing, I agree.

Yes, the saddest thing is that she was naturally very pretty before she messed herself up!

She is a really pretty woman, with body dysmorphia. Even the awful surgery doesn't distract from how good-looking she is. I hope she listens to her daughters.

She looks significantly older than 39 and a bloody mess.

She reminds me of somebody who was in Big Brother about ten years ago. Leah?

God that's so sad. Poor woman who feels the need to make herself plastic and poor kids. Imagine the stick the son is going to get when he's older.

O.M.G. What has she done to herself? The silly, silly woman!

She looks grotesque! Those hyperdistended breasts remind me of the udders of the fresian cows that, as a child, I used to watch plodding towards the milking sheds on a nearby farm. Her lips look as though they have been transplanted there from someone else's face.

How can she do this to herself - and how can her family be so unkind as to encourage it?

Her face has got that odd lumpy putty texture from too many fillers.

She's obviously very insecure. Sad really.

I think she is not really 39. She has probably been 39 for some years.

I am older than her and the fashions in her old photos make me suspicious. Not that it matters, she was so pretty and now so scary.

She was naturally beautiful and obviously has a mental health problem. Surgeons should be stopped from disfiguring perfectly normal people in this way. Look at how masculine and attractive pete burns was before surgery. It's a terrible crime. something should be done to stop this.

Her breasts look under pressure, you can literally see the veins popping.

If you completely changed her hair and got rid of the awful lips, the rest of her face looks decent enough for her age IMO.

The hair is just awful though - the block platinum colour wouldn't look good on an 18 year old or a 38 year old.

Think the trick is not to try the twenties looks, but to look like a young thirties....you can't hide ageing knees, so they should get covered. And unnatural blonde is v ageing.

Am I missing something here? I'm assuming from those pics that she's a hooker or does housewife porn - that's the coded reference in the description of her as a SAHM. The story isn't really about her surgery is it?
