She's indistinguishable from Angelina Jolie IMO.

alphabite · 17/08/2012 08:43

She looks absolutely awful.

ErikNorseman · 17/08/2012 08:51

There is nothing impressive about her looks. She had ravaged herself with surgery and she looks revolting.

What happened to ageing gracefully?

gettingeasier · 17/08/2012 08:58

Each to their own

Bumblebee333 · 17/08/2012 09:22

Those lips are obviously horrific but other than that I think she looks really good for her age.

Nancy66 · 17/08/2012 10:02

I had the misfortune to spend about 3 days with JS once. She really is absolutely bonkers.

NameChangeGalore · 17/08/2012 10:04

Nancy66, did she read your bum in those 3 days?

She looks like the female Gremlin

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 10:12

Would you ridicule any other 90 year old based on what she looked like?

I would ridicule anyone of any age or gender if they had done that to their lips.

Methe · 17/08/2012 10:14

She looks hideous.

SummerRain · 17/08/2012 10:18

Fuckin hell, she does not look 90

Christ people, the woman has been alive since before WWII, I think she's earned the right to go around looking as good or as bad as she bloody wants at this stag.

She was born in 1921 ffs

Nancy66 · 17/08/2012 10:19

namechange - no she'd moved on from the arse reading by then and was obsessed with the british royal family.

I'd arrange to meet her and she'd be about 3 hours late and when she turned up she'd say: 'oh Nancy I'm so sorry i'm late but I was having dinner with Prince Philip.'

Then I'd ask her assistant if that was true and she'd say; 'no, she was just in bed.'

Bonkers.

QuintessentialShadows · 17/08/2012 10:21

I am with SummerRain.

My dad was born in 1927, I wish the two would meet.....

And sweep each other off their feet....

midori1999 · 17/08/2012 10:45

Her lips do look silly and she does look a bit bizarre, but at the same time, I agree she doesn't look 90/looks good for 90.

yellowraincoat · 17/08/2012 10:50

People can look however the fuck they want.

PenisVanLesbian · 17/08/2012 10:57

how tragic (for youse, not her) that you look at 90 year olds and still feel the need to rate their attractiveness/whether they look their age/how normal or otherwise they look.
REally rather pathetic.

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 11:01

People can look however the fuck they want.

Yes they can. And if they have placed themselves in the public eye and have done something bloody stupid to themselves then that can expect comment.

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 11:02

I think it's really rather pathetic to inject shedloads of crap into your lips so you look like a fish. Irrespective of age and gender.

yellowraincoat · 17/08/2012 11:07

Really, SoupDragon? I just don't think about it like that. I used to make comments about how other people looked as well, and when I stopped (and it took a lot of effort, because it was so normal for me) I realised that I felt much better about myself and about other people.

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 11:10

Note that I said if they have placed themselves in the public eye. People who court attention can expect both positive and negative attention.

Personally I think it extremely sad and pathetic that someone would turn themselves into a parody of "youth" through cosmetic surgery. My grandmother looked far better at 99 than Jackie Stallone does at 90 because she looked natural.

Whippoorwhill · 17/08/2012 11:10

Is this not just a frantic attempt to establish his heterosexuality in response to the Tom Cruise rumours?

yellowraincoat · 17/08/2012 11:12

So what if they're in the public eye? Of course people have the right to comment, I just don't see why they do.

Women looking natural get shit. Women plastered in make-up or with loads of plastic surgery get shit. Ho hum.

Presumably she likes the way she looks.

PenisVanLesbian · 17/08/2012 11:13

She's 90. And she's not exactly a movie star. Get a grip and stop justifying your judginess.

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 11:18

I have a grip, thanks. I rather think you have lost yours though, PVL.

Yes, I judge bloody stupid cosmetic surgery.

Look at Jane Fonda. 74 and looking fabulous. With sensible use of cosmetic surgery. No trout lips, no frozen cat looks, not trying to look 20 again. Fabulous.
