Is Frozen A New Wrinkle?
MSNBC gives us a Reality check on the war on wrinkles: Looking younger or just weirder? Pursuit of youth isn’t always pretty!
Wrinkles have become optional. So have age spots, forehead furrows and baggy eyelids.Name a badge of aging and there’s a fix being peddled by your local dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Crow’s feet?

I mean, May is already the month of Mothers Day, so why not National Mommy Make-over Month? And what better way for Fathers, Lovers, or Friends to celebrate the Mother in their life by treating them to a Mommy Make-over!

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry," said Diana Zuckerman, president of the nonprofit National Research Center for Women and Families, after reading "My Beautiful Mommy."“This is disturbing on so many levels," she added. "For one thing, it perpetuates a completely unrealistic ideal" of female beauty: the large-breasted, wasp-waisted, midriff-baring Barbie-doll look”
And the ladies on The View seemed to put a negative spin on the book as well… see the video below:
