@Squirrels Are Trash yes you are so right.The pressure to look a certain way in high visibility industries is tremendously stressful.

What I find interesting is its effect on cis het men, too. I am in tech and have seen many of my male peers get Botox and there are a few who I think get filler. Back in the aughts, a few single male colleagues (who were in their 50s, and I was in my 30s) asked me to help them "dress younger." Of course, in the entertainment, real estate, beauty, etc. fields, men have been undergoing these treatments for almost as long as women.

Just goes along with the casual look these days. People aren't really going out of their way to get dressed up and "gussied up" as my grandmother used to say

@Nonametoday Jeez I hope I am misreading your post but the way it came across was a bit harsh. I have tattooed eyebrows and not for my "insanity or vanity" as you say, it's from losing all of my own to chemotherapy. Have you ever been through that or have you had the emptyness and sadness of losing your identity by going totally bald?? I'm hoping I misunderstood your post but tattooing was a saving grace for people like me.

ETA: I just read your other post to @wagirl so I see you have been through it........so your remarks surprise me even more.

@LindaSal

I was talking about some of the Hollywood grifters. Sorry it sounded like anyone who has just the tattooed eyebrows. My BFF has tattooed eyeliner and brows. Sorry you misunderstood or I did not make it clear.

Sorry I took so long to reply. Are you looking for a pinky Peach lip gloss? I have the most beautiful Pat McGrath peachy pink lip gloss. The name is pale nectar fire . I have a backup of this. As with all my other lip glosses, I wear it over an Elf pink lip tint. It is a beautiful fresh look.

I did not expand on this last night as I was having to take care of my husband who was needing some medicine, to get to bed for the evening and his blood pressure had plummeted as well as his blood sugar. I had to give him some glucagon and monitor him. I just wanted to add that a poster had posted about all the things that women in California (Hollywood types) needed to do in order to get work and I had said that in reference. I should have added her name. I am sorry. I will try not to be so careless next time. Thank you for pointing it out to me.

I haven't read all the other posts but I read yours and you weren't careless you were preoccupied. I hope your husband is feeling much better today

@monicakm

Thank you so much. He has lots of issues and it takes a lot of time and patience. Thank you, thank you. I never meant to insult anyone.

As far as I'm concerned, you didn't offend anyone. I have compassion for you as a caretaker. It's a tough job. My grandson was here today doing some outside work for us. He's 18 and for as long as he's been able to understand, I've been singing DHs praises about what a kind, helpful and loyal employee his gramps is (but were technically self-employed). Also how he stepped up, never complaining, and took care of me thru 2 knee surgeries, a heart attack and 6 months later, open heart surgery. He would grow up to be a wonderful man and husband if he followed in his gramps' footsteps. I hope he remembers when it's his turn to be a husband and father. So...

What a sweet and heartwarming sentiment. Thank you.
