WE’RE SO VAIN: YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS BLOG IS ABOUT US
YES. This blog is about us and nobody else. We had a bout with vanity and vanity won.
To be even more specific, Mary looks like a candidate for victim of domestic violence for the month. She’s been left bruised and swollen, but bottom line, she looks YOUNGER and bruised and swollen as opposed to older, wrinkled and victim-less. She couldn’t be happier.
Goody goody Lorraine looks perfect. Isn’t that speciaaaall?
We love our results but are seriously questioning our sanity at paying big bucks for self-inflicted torture and pain.
We felt like we’d been abducted by aliens, put under the bright lights and poked and prodded. Our doctor, who looks a lot like the statue David (this made the whole thing a lot easier!), had a constant yet mischievous smile on his face as he dug those needles deep into our “nasolabials” (sounds like a private part) assuring us we would walk out completely satisfied.
We knew we were in good hands when we looked around at his staff who looked like they had walked off a cover shoot for Cosmopolitan.
It was indeed a party atmosphere. There were fresh strawberries, chocolate, and cheese and crackers, and wine upon request. Too bad we were too numb from the numbing cream to enjoy it. What a tease. These people are sadistic and yet there was a room full of ladies waiting for the same treatment we had just been handed.
While we stood at the counter waiting to empty our bank accounts, the whole room became a love fest. The talk became wanting to know the dirty details of who had what done and who was waiting to have what done. It was like a bachelor party without the strippers, although we got the feeling that could be provided if the demand was made.
That room full of ladies and ourselves were all willing, compliant and eager to have anything done to make us look younger.
Gloria Steinem would have been ashamed.
Although, we saw her on CNN the other day, and she looked suspiciously good.
Now we’re noticing every woman on the street, on TV and movies, nodding her heads knowingly that they too “had work” done.
Our husbands are scratching their heads and we don’t care.
“We have one eye in the mirror as we watch ourselves gavotte.”
