10 Years Younger

My sister and I were recently discussing some of the makeover shows on TLC. We both agree we love What Not to Wear (will someone please nominate me for that show already?? We all know I desperately need it!!!). We both also agree that we hate the show 10 Years Younger. Neither of us could really articulate exactly why, except that we both hate the focus on cosmetic surgery. It hit me the other day what my real issue is: one show helps you bring out your own beauty, the other shows you what is wrong with you and how some professional can "fix" you so that ordinary society will finally view you in a better light. As much of a fashion beeyatch as I think Stacy London can be, I have never heard her tell anyone on that show that she needs to change anything but her mindset and her wardrobe. We all have inner beauty that we may need some help to showcase, but the idea that we all need botox and microdermabrasion makes me cringe. And we all know that cringing will undoubtedly lead to wrinkles....
