Stop getting angry at people for getting older

It's unfortunate, yes, but consider that the crowd who thinks that plastic surgery is a mistake is usually a much more intelligent crowd than the ones who think plastic surgery should be done.

It's better to just age naturally instead of becoming a laughing stock of plastic. At least getting nothing done is natural and not the CHOICE which surgery is.

I rarely know anyone criticizing people for looking older. Sometimes there's the occasional comment of "so-and-so isn't aging well" but it's not such a stark criticism as it is an observation, and such an observation is usually mixed with sympathy, since none of us want to age in that way.

At any rate, Griffith's mockery is solely over her ridiculous surgery, which she CHOSE to have. At least if she only had minor work, it wouldn't have called so much attention. It mystifies people that celebs would so often rather look silly and plastic, by choice, than to just look "older", which is natural and understandable.




You're spoiled!

Aging is a combination of lifestyle and genetics. Since her mother has aged quite gracefully and her father also, before his death, I would say that Melanie's aging has more to do with the former.

As for Antonio, Melanie's substance abuse has continued during their relationship (at least two trips to rehab) so he bears some responsibility for her lifestyle. Unconditional love is admirable but sometimes tough love is what's needed.
