ME: Gad, I wish you weren’t so dead set against me getting a little bit of Botox, just a bit, just between the eyes. I know you’re totally against it. I just wish you weren’t.
HE: It’s the marijuana of cosmetic surgery, the gateway procedure. Next thing you know, you’re Meg Ryan and you look like the Joker.
ME: I think I give people the wrong impression sometimes because of my frown lines.
HE: What are you talking about?
ME: I think I look concerned or angry when I’m really not.
HE: Well then smile!
ME: I do smile! But it’s like a dog that’s barking and wagging its tail – they don’t know which end to believe!
HE: Then wag harder!
ME: Sigh.
HE: I love you too.
I had the same convo with my husband. Just do it! I get a shot between my eyebrows every three months. I no longer look as if I am glowering at everyone and smiling just made me look evil. It can be a gateway though. I also tried fillers (once) and the results were really obvious so never again. But botox is subtle. Like you’ve been away on holiday. Of course a couple of glasses of wine will relax your frown lines as well but the unless you keep drinking the results don’t last as long.
Heh heh. It’s worth a shot. Pun intended!
