If Botox was free, would you use it?

I wouldn't.

I'm haunted by the sight of Priscilla Presley :scared:

3. That's collagen.

Botox is for paralyzing facial muscles so you can't get frown lines. It also has an actual medical use for people with highly overactive sweat glands.

13. If I'd tried that at the Delta Anh Phuoc House

Rhino would've waited until just the right moment to burst in and say, "Pick up your fucking clothes, douchebag!"

2. Voluntary injections of a neurotoxin? Nope, thanks. I think I'll pass on that.

Who ever thought that was a smart thing to do in the first place?

5. Haunted by Presley? HA!

I'm haunted by Jocelyn Wildenstein! You can't top that freaky shit. It should be impossible to google image search her unless safe search is turned off. The goggles, nothing, etc.

11. there's a huge difference between taking shots in the face

and having your face sliced and diced like Jocelyn's.

16. Nevertheless

I wear my wrinkles, warts, and other embarassing bodily parts with pride. I've earned them.

6. Nicole Kidman looked scary a few years ago.

Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 07:44 PM by AllieB

She had a Bride of Frankenstein, permanently suprised look at one of the award shows after receiving way too much botox.

I would never do it, but I may try some of the other fillers like Restylane when I get into my 40s.

12. No way

But you can get it for almost-free, the botulinum, if you buy a bunch of canned goods and a mallet...

(you tend to die, though, so it's very much not recommended)

15. No way.

I am not having anybody stick needles into my face when it is not necessary. And unless I get disfigured in an accident or something, you won't find me in the plastic surgeon's office either.

17. I don't think so.

I have nothing against "procedures" but the things I don't like about my face could not be repaired with botox. My youngest sister has it regularly done to her forehead and you can't tell anything, except she still looks twenty-five (she's 38). I think she'd be perfect without it, but she'd have lines on her forehead. Not that it's a concern!

18. I use botox right now to hunt songbirds.. Knocks them right out of the sky.

Now mind you songbirds are little thing when going after a larger fowl such as an osprey I use a special prepared Nicole Kidman special. In fact A nicole kidman can take down any bird up to a raptor... Now for raptors I use a Katie Couric but that requires two people and a permit from the local FDA Representative. Just can't order a Katie Couric without having a real good reason such as a nuisance bird issue.

19. Don't Need It

Women in my family don't wrinkle or look old and I already have naturally full lips, so what else is Botox good for.

23. I might try it, for a couple reasons - the wrinkles, yeah, but mostly

to see if it would help with my migraines.
Although I would really like to get rid of the furrow between my brows; it makes me look pissed off and I'm really not a pissed off person.

Once you're over a certain age you become invisible. I'm not 30 anymore, but at least I can try and look younger.
