I am rapidly reaching the age of irrelevance for women. But I don’t worry. It happens to men too. They just aren’t encouraged to stick poison in their faces. This video starring Sarah Haskins on the marketing of Botox is nicely paired with a disturbing piece from the Wall Street Journal on Botoxing Your Resume (removing the experience!).
