Helen Gurley Brown, former editor of _Cosmo_, needed a lot of expensive surgical work to look as scary as this: [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/\_YLONlAJifWw/SGac6k4ZTrI/AAAAAAAAAk8/5nqf1uDevhw/s400/helengurleybrown.jpg](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YLONlAJifWw/SGac6k4ZTrI/AAAAAAAAAk8/5nqf1uDevhw/s400/helengurleybrown.jpg) ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > I hate that cheekbone implant look that all the actresses seem to be getting now. I’ve heard that they do it because it lifts the saggy/jowly skin at the jaw. Which makes sense, but it’s just like any of these other things–it doesn’t make them look younger, it just makes them look like they’ve had plastic surgery. And having had obvious facial plastic surgery that’s supposed to make you look younger just makes you look OLD. ---

Presumably she made the choice herself to get her face all messed up (as all these people have), and paid a very good doctor a lot of money, so where does the victimization come in?

I meant “victim” in the same sense as “fashion victim” – someone who spends obscene amounts of money to obtain a particular physical appearance without giving sufficient thought to whether the end result would be attractive, personally flattering, etc., or not. ---
