Botox, Breeding a New Generation Of “Satan’s Children”

April 1, 2009  4:57 pm


We’d be lying if we said that we didn’t judge people who have excessive plastic surgery. (What? There is such a thing as growing old gracefully.) Which is why it’s always refreshing when rock icons and screen stars of old add to the discourse. In a recent interview with WWD, Stevie Nicks expressed her, um, misgivings, about cosmetic enhancements—to which we say, rock on…and SO TRUE about the cast of Desperate Housewives!:

“I had Botox and I hated it. For four long months, I looked like a different person. It almost brought down the whole production of the last tour. It was so bad, I would look into the mirror and burst into tears. Botox is becoming the new face of beauty and it’s unfortunate because it makes everybody look like Satan’s children. Everybody has pointed eyebrows. Everybody looks related. All the Desperate Housewives look like sisters. If you’re an unattractive girl who’s trying to be beautiful with Botox, forget it. If you are a beautiful girl who’s trying to be beautiful with Botox, you will look like you’re angry all the time. You’d have to tie me down to get me to do it again.”

Thoughts on injections and their growing cultural acceptance?

  1. Stevie Nicks has done no work at all of course! LOL! Maybe it’s not Botox but she’s “not gracefully older”. What a joke this is!

    I think it’s silly an unnaturel. The older supermodels, hailed because of their “beauty” are not for real anymore either. Frozen and/or surprised looking faces and photoshopped too. Actresses who can hardly show real emotions anymore. What a sad world we do live in…we are mortals. We’re gonna get sick, old and die.
    Look at the women who has done those things for years now. They look freak-ish. Like our lovely Stevie, great singer by the way, and a lot of her colleagues: scary monsters, super freaks. There are a lot off these males to by the way….brrrr….

    Why snub the cast of Desperate Housewives? If they are the only ones….god…..

    Maybe you should have asked Patti Smith about this?

  2. Style.com didn’t interview Stewie. That interview is from elsewhere. And no one is saying Stevie hasn’t done anything. It clearly says that she had botox for awhile and hated it. I don’t see why people need to make catty comments about whether someone has or hasn’t had work done.

  3. No, Style.com just copied from another interview with Stevie who does lie, is in denial. Further the title of this piece is - Botox, Breeding A New Generation Of “Satan’s Children” - that’s catty too isn’t it? But I love it!!
    I’d find Stevie very silly and in denial about her age as so many people are. In the end they do all look odd. And apparantly a lot of people are thinking about is just looking good. Or better said “fake young”. That seems to be all that matters these days.
    But you know what, time waits for no one, inside you grow older or get ill, no one can stop that process. No matter if you train 5 hours a day and drink green tea or whatever the new miracle is to stop the ageing process. There’s something as DNA and genes. Remember?
    I bet Mother Nature shall never ever allows to stop that process. We’re mortal.

    My thought about injections and their growing cultural acceptance is that a lot of people are scared to be what they are. Movies with all these plastic fantastic stars who cannot really act bores the hell out of me yet…I don’t care for photoshopped “beauty” anymore either. And guess what? I’m not the only one….
    It’s like “Brave New World”.
