He Said She Said: Old Peoples

“I am tired of the cult of youth. The cultural rejection of old age, the stigmatization of wrinkles, grey hair, of bodies furrowed by the years. I am fascinated by Diana Vreeland, Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Bourgeois, women who have let time embrace them without ever cheating." - Tom Ford

  5. People shouldn't cheat , go for a full face lift and look totally different and then admit it , but botox just ain't going to cut it woozies !

  6. Dear Anon: I see you're not for botox - but i guess it's a bit of a compromise between full-blown sag and a completely new face?
