2011 Oscar’s Red Carpet
March 1st, 2011
According to the prediction by the California newspaper, Orange County Register, “This year’s Oscars might all be plastic-surgery-free, judging from the stars who are currently being discussed as front-runners. As the telecast droned on, it appeared to me that most of the actresses looked pretty natural, as they predicted. Perhaps it was more a function of who was nominated this year. Of course, one nominee from “True Grit†was just a youngster, another was 9 months pregnant and Helen Mirren always looks stunning at any age! Despite all attempts to appeal to a younger audience, the viewership numbers were down again this year. I guess lack of controversy hurts their ratings.
However, as a personal observation, breast augmentation is still alive and well in Hollywood!
Aging Gracefully, the European Way
February 23rd, 2011
According to a recent article in the New York Times, the objective of plastic surgery in Europe, says Dr. Michel Soussaline, a Paris surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, is “to keep the natural beauty and charm of each individual woman, not to fit some current ideal of beauty.â€
We will likely see the opposite of this philosophy during the parade of Hollywood stars on Red Carpet this Sunday. The Academy Awards receives worldwide attention, only partly due to handing out the coveted Oscar statues. The rest of the media hype revolves around fashion, make-up and cosmetic surgery, and especially targeting those who look less than divine.
It has been reported that American women who particularly spend so lavishly on cosmetic surgery, fillers and wrinkle potions, prefer to be noticed. I tend to agree with this premise. However, by contrast, European women are more discrete and are genuinely thrilled when nobody notices a little Nipntuck. We’ll see if this year’s Oscar coverage fulfills these claims.
