I have just had botox! <stares in mirror>

[GetOrf]

BRILLIANT woman in Cheltenham did it.

It hasn't worked yet and apparently it can take up to 2 weeks to take effect, but should be apparent in a couple of days.

Didn't hurt - was expecting it to be like those monstrous dental injections. 6 injections, no pain, just slight scratch.

Yay! Hatchet-face BEGONE.

Will report back when I start looking like Gisele Bundchen

god im tempted.
how much again?

Stallion I admit that "the look" isn't quite as effective as it used to be but the raised eyebrows seem to convey the same message. Especially when they know it's followed up by mobile phone confiscation.

i think its a whole male planned thing so women can never disapprove without vocalising said disapproval and therefore opening themselves up to accustations of NAGGING
(gasp)

Just shout a bit louder. They will soon get the message.

It's great. £180 stallion. Don't go to SK:N ( a chain, so may well be one near you) - a had a consultation there and it was crap, all 19 year old stupid girls botoxed to the hilt.

You can still give a filthy look which will stop kids in their tracks.

Practice the gimlet-eyed stare.

I have told DP to have words with me if I start getting the Kidman effect.

what's wrong with ageing naturally? i really don't get this botox and youth obsession. think it's :(

Well, I don't.

I want mask-like perfection.

Stallion, you might be over thinking it a bit now just run along and have the little injections, stay looking pretty and keep talking about fluffy bunnies and lip gloss.

Wimpy, it's ok it's not compulsory. I have also single handedly proved that it cures pmt.

I wouldn't have had those wrinkles at the age of 33 if I didn't spend the best part of 50 hours a week frowning at small type on a screen. That's not natural either.

Botox is just helping me look like what I would probably look like if I didn't look at a screen all damn day.

Gets rid of headaches as well (apparently it is proven to reduce tension headaches, some people have it purely for this). I get tension headaches a lot (from the screen staring) and from 2pm or so every day start swallowing the anadin extra. If it gets rid of that I will be delighted.

Not sure if it's looking at the screen that gives you frown lines or just the hideous reflection that stares back from the screen that polarises the wrinkles in your mind.

I can't see a reflection of myself in the computer screen thank god, I would have had the needle years ago if so.

The sight which terrifies me is catching sight of the wrinkles in strong sunlight in the rear view mirror. It is horrific.

Strong sunlight in a convertible car makes me look bald! Which is ridiculous because I've got loads of hair

It def works for headaches plus i was up half the night with ds v sick (teenager wtf thought these days were over!) and have to be in town by 1030 and look absolutely fine! Anyone thinking of it go to a doc not a beautician!

Cheaper to make the font on your screen bigger. :o

D'you think your desire for mask-like perfection (and I include the £100 foundation in this) is influenced by having a 15 yr old, who of course does have young perfect skin? Lots of mothers are having their first baby at your age, so by the time their DDs are 15 they know it is too late to compete in the flawless-skin game.

DP did say something along the lines of it being something to do with (what he calls) my stupid comptetitive nature and having to be the best at everything. I don't think you can include smooth foreheads in that. He says I am getting more like Monica Geller as I get older (why is that a bad thing? )

Alouise I used to have a convertible, I loved it, and then would have to pull up at traffic lights with the worst hair in the western world, and feel like a tool and assume people are pointing and laughing at the woman with troll hair.

and the sheets of course.

god, you will all be having a 'showgirl' next.

Yes, and storing the kettle in the cupboard so it doesn't clutter up the kitchen.

And throwing the toaster in the neighbour's skip because of the crumbs.

And not having any cushions, carpets or curtains because I don't like soft fabrics and their dust gathering ways.

Poor long-suffering sod.

what's a showgirl when it's at home?

Showgirl?

trying to wonder what a showgirl is.

Nipple tassles glued on?
Glitter welded onto cheekbones?
Anal bleaching?

The mind boggles.

Urban dictionary revealed nothing.

How do you have no curtains? What do you do if you want to make it dark, or if you want people outside to not be able to see in?
