I saw this little weblink on the Walrus ‘ wallow and it set off a train of thought which is quite radical, so ignore it if you wish / at your peril, heh,heh!
It caught my interest & I immediately made to try it & then hesitated: …. Walrus is witty, clever, cosmopolitan, wise & has 100 friends; his blog is worth $12.00 … I am naive, unpolished and only have 3 friends … what will my blog be worth …12 cents?
My train of thought went this way: this is how Satan works … he senses vanity and pride and a desire for re-assurance and exploits it: you could just be wiser / more entertaining than you thought… don’t be chicken….
It has been a recurring thought, last thunk when I saw, at first glance, an attractive woman of about 40. Closer examination revealed those tight bubble cheekbones that suggest botox treatment. Â That’s when I thought about vanity & how Satan sucks people in through vanity. Botox is definitely a vanity thing. I don’t believe vanity is ever a good thing.
It’s not easy though,is it – I still have a sneaky need to know …
Vade retro, Satanas

This me commenting on what I wrote – I am ugly & have no hope of vanity being an issue, so maybe it’s easier to take the high ground : )

Bubbly cheeks would denote collagen.
Immobilised face in the likeness of a partially paralysed porcelain doll would mean botox (think K Minogue)
Petrifying face with a permanent expression of surprise or horror would point to a face lift (think the Cat Woman).
Red nose and puffed eyes would indicate a bout of flu (that’d be me!!)

Thank you, friend – even if i bore you
I like the unpolished bit – it smacks of hidden brilliance , like in a diamond. I need to be harder!
