Apparently I need botox

[monkeysmama]

Ah yes. Went out with good friend at weekend. She has no kids, is 7 years younger and, if it matters, is about to be divorced due to his infidelity.

I am 34 this summer and care a lot about my appearance (night cream, day cream, eye cream, facials etc). Don't get much sleep, worked in a sun tanning shop for 3 years while at uni and tanned for 14 mins daily but stay out of sun since, like a drink, smoked 60 a day until 5 years ago . Was also a kick boxer until my mid 20s so have a few little stitch scars on my head.

Anyway, less than hour into evening (on second bottle of wine) friend says "you really need botox on those wrinkles under your eyes and above your eyebrows. The frown one is like an 80 year olds". As the evening (and wine) goes on she becomes more adament and criticial eventually offering to pay for Botox for my birthday!?

My question is simple: how do I look in the mirror without seeing THE LINE?

fgs, i just looked at your profile and you're stunning

frined is obviously madly jealous and hoping that the botox makes you look freaky enough that she'll look better in comparison

Where did you find the time to smoke 60 a day???
Seriously?

And did you have three bottles of wine? Jaysus, how did you get home?

i used to work (waitressing) with a woman (pre smoking ban obviously) who would have two fags on the go all during her shift, one at either end of the dining room and she'd take a drag every time she went past... she'd light a new one from the stub of the old one each time i'm a smoker but that even frightened me!

Have you ever looked at someone and thought "she's really beautiful, look at that lovely smooth forehead"?

Quite right BB. That made me smile.

Sadly I found it very easy to smoke 60 a day and sometimes smoked more when I went out. I worked in a bar, lived in Italy, was always smoking. I used to drink a lot more than 3 bottles of wine too . Not anymore of course but we did walk home from the pub without any problem.

Walking home from the pub is regular exercise
Sounds like you had a fantastic time when you were younger and well done for packing in smoking, its not easy.
One wee line on the forehead, so what? your friend sounds really anal!
