A Wrinkle In The Botox Craze: Wiping Away Smiles And Scowls
Dominique Browning has worked in glossy magazine land most of her life. She was editor of House and Garden. Knows perfectly primped homes and landscapes very well.
And then there’s the issue of human faces. Browning has been out around the country looking at American faces. And too many these days, she says, are Botoxed into blankness.
Injected and nipped and tucked until they can’t even express simple emotion anymore. A little is okay, she says. But enough is enough. And we’re there.
Let’s show our age.
This hour On Point As a portrait photographer I work with so many women from mid thirties to my age..late fifties who are unhappy with their faces or looks. They are so focused on the wrinkles and the droops that they overlook the beautiful. I work hard to make them comfortable with themselves and try to photograph that energy and beauty. Everyonce in a while some one will say, you did a great job but I look awful maybe I need to use botox. We are so focused on our imperfections that we fail to appreciate our own beauty. I don’t know whether it is our embrace of the youth culture or our fear of aging but I find it disturbing. Thank you Dominique for raising this issue in our over botoxed expressionless world.
