Gawd, I hate to admit this out loud, like you don’t even know.  I turn 40 here in, uh, a week and a half or so.  *sob*  And I’m thinking about Botox (thanks Lianne – you look amazing, gf – and *you know who* that I won’t mention .     It seems like everyone I know is talking Botox these days.  *sigh*

So my friend Nancy, at Beauty411, has done a wonderful 101 guide to all of the injectables available at your dermatologist/plastic surgeon’s office.   See?  She’s thinking about it too. 

I’ve been watching all of these things, new and old, with much interest lately, both from my aging *issue* and because I have been to Los Angeles twice this year, and both times I am astounded and horrified at all the women walking around with what they think look like Angelina Jolie lips, but actually look just disgusting.  There is no other word really.  Well, maybe cheesy porn star.  I also picked up the National Enquirer last week – the cover story was on plastic surgery nightmares – and that’s always good stuff.  Did you see it?  You might remember that I ranted a little while back on poor Priscilla Presley and Lara Flynn Boyle – they, of course, were the headliners in the issue.  It is just really sad.  I sure don’t want to do something to permanently disfigure myself.  A few wrinkles aren’t *that* bad.

So getting over the hurdle of being afraid of turning out looking like a cheesy porn star (I wish..lol), the next hurdle is my husband.  While it’s definitely precious that he thinks I am beautiful, he sure likes to knock down the botox thing whenever I *casually* mention it.  So how to jump that hurdle?  Not sure.  Got any ideas?  Id love to hear your experiences with Botox if you have them.  Is it a good idea?  Anyone have a bad experience?  Thankfully, I really haven’t run across any Botox nightmare stories – but I haven’t gone looking either.  Not sure I want to.
