To think "another one bites the dust" when I saw pics of Cindy Crawford

She looks bloody awful after her Botox, fillers and goodness knows what.

I thought she was dead by your title!

I think most people look a bit odd after Botox definitely. I remember having a meeting with my boss and being distracted by her top lip looking non-existent.

Link?
Personally I can't stand the Botox/fillers look, I think it is awful. Destroys a woman's natural beauty.

runningwilde · 09/01/2012 07:04

Link! I agree that it makes women look odd

Look at how awful Kylie and Madonna look now!

OddBoots · 09/01/2012 07:12

And yet so many people want that celeb life and all the pressure it brings, I really don't understand it myself.

I hope she's not messed her face up.

Naomi Campbell looked like she'd had work done during that court case Sad Confused.

ClaraSage · 09/01/2012 08:49

So much pressure on these celebs to stay young looking. I am the same age as Cindy and look my age (46) but I like to look 'good for/at my age' .

Pagwatch · 09/01/2012 08:54

Cindy craw ford has been very open about the fact tat she has been using stuff for years. She is like a spokesperson for Dr Sebagh and has created a range of products with him.
If she has finally tipped into looking artificial it has been on the back of years of treatments.
So not really another one bites the dust. She was more like a founder member of the injectables celebrities

the celeb cat face syndrome

dm alert

Areallytiredwoman · 09/01/2012 09:00

I find it sad that women would rather look like a bizarre parody of their younger selves but society and media tells us constantly that ageing is bad and women should look eternally young by buying anti-ageing products and treatments instead of celebrating their maturity, strength and experience

Men however don't age but just look tired Hmm I think Mickey Rourke must have been bloody exhausted judging by the amount of botox/fillers/surgery going on with his face.

Areallytiredwoman · 09/01/2012 09:01

And how do the rest of us stand a chance of having any self esteem if the most beautiful women in the world aren't good enough Sad

boredandrestless · 09/01/2012 09:11

Those cat faces are disturbing!

Even if I had loads of money I wouldn't have a face lift or botox, what's wrong with growing old gracefully?

AnyFucker · 09/01/2012 09:25

what a shame

she is beautiful, whatever her age, I wish these women wouldn't ruin their natural beauty in this way

CervixWithASmile · 09/01/2012 09:34

The scary thing is I remember being horrified by Jocelyn Wildenstein when they first published pictures of her. Now she looks almost normal for a celebrity because they all look like that. I think Jennifer Aniston is starting to look pillowy too but don't think it's been mentioned in the papers?

chickydoo · 09/01/2012 09:50

My God those DM photos are just so sad. Thing is we all know approx age of those celebs, we know how a woman in her 40's 50's 60's looks. Why do they feel they have to look like clowns. I feel let down a bit. If I had the cash I would buy new clothes, have a facial each week, get my hair done constantly, use tons of expensive moisturiser....not let someone change the way I look. feel sad
about it. In life we grow old, Fact! we have to get old then die to make way for the new generations, it doesn't matter if we look 12 on the outside, we are still getting older on the inside. Grow old gracefully, but happily, an old face shows wisdom, character and a life well lived.

Pinot · 09/01/2012 09:54

She was THE Supermodel IMO, had everyone my age in awe of her during my High School years.

Now she has ruined her face. It makes me feel desperately sad actually. If she can do that.... well.

SuePurblybilt · 09/01/2012 10:01

Wasn't Arlene binned from Strickly for being too old? But in those pics she's by far the most attractive looking of them all, I reckon.That weird cheek/eye thing looks like latex stage make-up - those women are turning into Mrs Doubtfire.

KalSkirata · 09/01/2012 10:05

so sad women feel they have to have this stuff injected into their faces

CogitoErgoSometimes · 09/01/2012 10:08

It must be so difficult, when your entire career and persona is based around something as transient & subjective as good looks, to accept the ageing process. It's not so bad if you've only ever been ordinary-looking because you can look elsewhere for self actualisation and a few wrinkles are neither here nor there. Must be much worse for someone used to 'flawless' and who has no fall-back.

BsshBossh · 09/01/2012 10:13

All these women (and men - eg Mickey Rourke) look the same. So sad. Yes, there is immense pressure in their industries to look young but they end up looking comedic. Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and others all may have had "work" done but they still look natural.

YuleingFanjo · 09/01/2012 10:13

she has that desperate housewife look about her now :( like Angie Dickinson crossed with Joan Rivers. Very sad. And only 46!

daenerysstormborn · 09/01/2012 10:19

cindy crawford doesn't look like herself anymore

thatgirlsevil · 09/01/2012 10:20

She looks like Janice Dickenson.

eurochick · 09/01/2012 10:22

It's really sad that these women don't feel like they can show their age. I am all for making the best of what you've got, but they have gone way beyond that.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 09/01/2012 10:25

People I admire for growing old gracefully are the (seemingly untampered with) Jo Lumley, Honor Blackman, Sylvia Syms, Julia Mackenzie... even good old QEII. Good examples rather than dire warnings.

PostBellumBugsy · 09/01/2012 10:25

Oh, feel so disheartened looking at her picture. I thought she was so stunning and I loved all of her fitness DVDs, particularly the post-birth tone up ones she did. She just looks really odd.
It is such a shame, because she would probably aged quite well, with such great bone structure.
