If you are 55+ and you are an ordinary woman, then your appearance will be treated condescendingly. At the very least, it's critical. This is if you suddenly notice wide financial opportunities, you will not be forgiven. This is what happens with celebrities (actresses, singers and models), who are not allowed to grow old by fans and bystanders for their wrinkles and gray hair.
No more plow
We live in an amazing era. Women have access to all the benefits of cosmetology, so they are no longer worth aging. In online communities, photo collages are posted comparing 30-year-olds today and several decades ago, where still young women, exhausted by hard work, looked 10-20 years older. And society no longer allows us to look our age. Other times have come. Now we plow in a fitness club, not in a field, so there are no more excuses for unkemptness and old age.
If a lady suddenly does not do Botox, her girlfriend or subscribers in social networks, wrinkling her smooth, shining forehead, will definitely ask why she does not stab her eyebrows and fill her face with fillers. It's not plastic. This is basic care, don't you understand? As well as lips in the style of "stay, boy, with us, be our king." It's just for general convenience.
I live near the school and I just can't get used to the fact that these girls who look 28 are actually 13-14 year old schoolgirls who look almost no different from Instagram divas. But back to the title.
Don't get old and don't get young
Toward the end of last year, we were shown "And just like that" - the long-awaited continuation of the series, the heroines of which have grown old, gray, plump and sad. Yes, and their ranks thinned out. Some got it even at the stage of the feature film, released almost 15 years ago. Now, when the heroines are 55+, they are getting even more from the fans, who have become even more diligent and angry in their comments regarding age and appearance.
Most of all goes to Sarah Jessica Parker, who has been carrying the burden of the main character for all these almost 25 years. Parker, what's there to talk about, the woman is ugly. In her youth, she could look sweet and pretty, but with age this disappeared, giving way to charisma and naturalness. The last one is the problem.
When the original series came out, the actress was 32. She is now 56, and her face, covered with wrinkles, with small eyes, gray hair and palpable ptosis, many viewers, frankly, turn away. The most interesting thing is that Kristin Davis looks younger, but thanks to fillers. And the fans turned out to be merciless to her too: what a gentle and natural Charlotte was, but she became a rubber doll!
"I know what I look like"
And what do they want, these fans? Well, what do they care if Parker fills his face with fillers, smooths out with Botox and pulls himself up like Davis? Will she look younger and prettier? Of course not. She will look ridiculous. Many women need to take her example and calm down a bit. Sarah seems to be quite calm about her appearance, but it was the reaction from the public that hurt her.
Here's what she said in an interview with Vogue:
“I don't know what I can do about aging. Yes, I'm getting old. My God, I'm getting old all the time! I know how I look. I have no choice. What should I do about it? Stop getting old? Disappear?
The actress also emphasized that all these claims are made against women, while for a man to have gray hair is normal and even beautiful.
“There is a lot of misogynistic chatter around this that will never happen to a man. Gray hair, gray hair, gray hair... Does she have gray hair? I'm sitting with Andy Cohen, he has a mop of gray hair and he's amazing! Why is it okay for him? I don't know what to tell you people."
Parker's annoyance is understandable. She has been included in the lists of the ugliest celebrities all her life, in 2007 Maxim magazine named her the most non-sexual woman of all living, and in 2010, the animated series “Southern the park".
Now she has entered the age when the appearance, unattractive according to the canons of beauty, is strongly affected by age. But she is honest both with herself and with her fans. Yes, she is now. Aged, wrinkled and gray-haired. So what? She does not make herself younger, but she is not going to apologize for it either. And this in the world of Botox, fillers and ageism commands respect.
