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.

These comments are depressing. It's not "sad" that a woman is not in your opinion attractive. Ffs.

Gosh, I'm 38 and I never realised knees took on a certain look in the late 30s! Am anxiously going to the bathroom to check mine out!

MNRandom · 29/10/2016 09:17

I'm not against plastic surgery par se but this woman is definitely NOT plastic fantastic, some might say more plastic wanktastic.

iremembericod · 29/10/2016 09:21

This lip filler fashion is grotesque.

I'm pretty sure it's porn related seeing as they often look like actual vagina lips on a face

It's not "sad" that a woman is not in your opinion attractive.

Indeed. It is however sad that a mother, meaning a role model for her children, decides to expose herself in national papers. It is tragic that she is telling her daughters that their appearance is not good enough. It is pathetic that she wastes a fortune to look grotesque instead of focusing on her family, as she obviously doesn't have unlimited funds.
By exposing herself to the public eye, she is welcoming comments, positive or negative.

It looks to me like her and her husband are into bimbofication. It's a Dom/sub type of relationship fetish.

hoddtastic · 29/10/2016 09:25

what's really sad is that this woman clearly needs the help of Drs, and by that we don't mean plastic surgeons. But you know that right idaho?

Anniegetyourgun · 29/10/2016 09:26

YABU to (a) link and (b) believe the DM. So there.

TheWoodlander · 29/10/2016 09:29

Yanbu, I totally agree, I don't like bringing other women down - but the lip filler is just awful, and whatever she's done to her skin - it looks terrible. I'm 45, and have not led the life of a novice, but my skin isn't like that.

I'm not against surgery either - but this is just doing her no favours at all.

They say the trick is to scrape 5 years off so if you are 30 aim for 25 if you are 40 aim 35 and so on and so forth..

Sadly we live in a society that wants everyone to live as long as possible but doesn't want us to do something as unnatural as ageing

ChuckBiscuits · 29/10/2016 09:31

I've not looked at the link, to be honest I couldn't give a monkey's what other women look like. But who the hell are you lot to tell the world what your opinions of her are?

lljkk · 29/10/2016 09:32

It is very sad that she thinks she needs all these procedures to look good.
she used to be pretty, b4 she had any work done.

MauiWest · 29/10/2016 09:33

I think knees look awful quickly! Look at celebs, and how more elegant and attractive they look with longer skirts or dresses. On another note, I never understood why chubby women wear short skirts. Shorts or bikinis are one thing, they are comfy on the beach, but a longer skirt feels no different than a short one and looks so much better!

LunaLoveg00d · 29/10/2016 09:38

As is always the case with these odd women who want to be "plastic" they look SO much nicer and prettier before the ridiculously huge breast implants and crappy fillers in their lips. She looks dreadful, fake and probably has some serious self-esteem and mental health issues.

If my Mum had dressed like that and put those sorts of pictures on social media when I was a teenager I would have been MORTIFIED.

Ginmakesitallok · 29/10/2016 09:38

This is such a sad thread, so full of hypocrisy and misogyny.

BestIsWest · 29/10/2016 09:42

Hang on a minute...to all of you saying why not aim to look five years younger, what's wrong with looking your actual age?

Why are we pressuring ourselves like this?

Middleoftheroad · 29/10/2016 09:43

Thread is so judgemental Biscuit

so full of hypocrisy and misogyny. Confused

for judging and taking the piss of a woman trying to look like a porn star in front of her teen daughters?

You can look younger without looking like a tart. Actually, you will look younger if you don't try to look like a tart.

NicknameUsed · 29/10/2016 09:54

I think it's sad that she feels she has to change the way she looks. And I don't think that is being judgemental. She was naturally pretty before, and now she looks like a caricature. Her face looks ravaged (yes, that probably is being judgemental, but her face does look ravaged).

What is more worrying is the message that she is giving to her daughters.

0SometimesIWonder · 29/10/2016 09:58

Yes, instantly
"Her face has got that odd lumpy putty texture from too many fillers."

I'd like to know just when facial cellulite became the fashion.

ChuckBiscuits · 29/10/2016 09:59

Actually, you will look younger if you don't try to look like a tart.

Who died and made you the oracle on what women should look like?

MauiWest · 29/10/2016 10:01

ChuckBiscuits ahum.. I have eyes?

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 29/10/2016 10:07

A tart???? Ffs, is this really 2016? Wtaf? Misogyny is alive and well on mumsnet I see.

ChuckBiscuits · 29/10/2016 10:09

ChuckBiscuits ahum...I have eyes?

And?
