Jenny McCarthy recently did an interview with Michigan Avenue Magazine where she revealed she’s gaga over Botox.
“I think plastic surgery is fun if it makes you feel good. I’m all for looking better, so I plan on doing whatever I want when the time comes. I love Botox, I absolutely love it. I get it minimally, so I can still move my face. But I really do think it’s a savior.”
While plastic surgery is one thing, we’re sending a big boo to Jenny for proclaiming her love for Botox.
Botox isn’t just any cosmetic. It was tested on animals before it was approved and hit the market. But it’s still being tested on animals. Every box.
Because Botox is a toxin, every batch must be tested before it’s packaged and shipped. Allergan injects mice until it finds a dose at which half of the animals die, or “lethal dose 50,” and use this to gauge the potential harm to humans.
There are different opinions in the vegetarian community about the use of animals in medical research. But it’s safe to say that the use of animals for purely cosmetic purposes doesn’t win approval from any of us.
And who says it makes you look better?
David McWilliams recently made a comparison between Botox and credit and the economy in the Sunday Business Post Online.
“Botox works, but not in the way it is intended. In fact, cosmetic surgery works in the sense that you can’t take your eyes off a woman who has had a lot of “work done”.”
“But you (or at least I) don’t look at her in the way that you find her attractive, but in the sense that you find her weird.”
“Last Friday, in New York, I had one of those moments. I was introduced to a young woman and I couldn’t take my eyes off her face.”
“Her brilliant, bleached-white teeth, her perfect button nose, her sensual bud-like lips and her blemish-free skin, all had the opposite of the desired effect. She was a freak, a classically beautiful woman, but a freak nonetheless.”
“What made her freaky was not just the lack of any expression in her face but behind that very lack of expression lay a profound absence of a scintilla of interest, curiosity and love of the things that make people interesting – the blemishes, the character faults, the glitches.”
“This statuesque product of human ingenuity was not beautiful, but repellent. She was playing tricks on herself and inviting the rest of us to share in her conceit. All the Botox and fillers were making her feel like someone she was not and in so doing threw the gauntlet to other women to do likewise.”
