I hope you're only getting Botox because it makes you happy

I can't stand that weird stiff upper lip thing (and not the cool British kind) women of a certain age have going now.

These women are getting what I assume to be Botox or its awful equivalent, and it makes their upper lip kind of stiff and strange.  For example, Mindy Kaling, whom I positively adore, has it. She seems way too young to start with that nonsense, but there she is.

This morning on The Today Show, I saw that Uma Thurman has it too.  I'm not talking about the over-the-top face fixes that some celebrities have gotten, like Meg Ryan, Priscilla Presley, Jaclyn Smith, to name a very few.  It's just the little upper lip that now juts out the tiniest bit and annoys the heck out of me.

No one ever says "She looks so much younger with that stiff upper lip!"  But as with most things, if it makes you truly happy and feel better about yourself then I must approve!
