Yeah, I've always thought how unfair it is when people lose a lot of weight and suddenly look old and wrinkled because the fat that ironed out the lines has gone.
I've been saying this for years. ("Oh you don't look anywhere near XX years!" Me: "The fat irons out the wrinkles." Them: "Oh, don't talk that way about yourself." Me: (WTF?)
Big Dot - So, phoentically it'll be "eh hin big" - or am I thinking of the wrong actress?
Becs - Are you smiling wickedly when you say this? Otherwise, they are required to disagree with you.
Of course I'm smiling wickedly. I almost always smiling wickedly. I even have a permanent little crease next to my mouth to prove it. (I've heard them called wrinkles. I disagree...)
These kinds of studies always annoy me. How much money did they spend before they realized that fat fills out wrinkles and makes a person look younger? There's a reason I look like I'm in my 20s bitches! I WIN!
I made a handbag cake for my daughter's 18th and brought it out, candles blazing, in a grand gesture and announced to all her (18 year-old, natch) friends, "It's a handbag!" in my best Lady Bracknell tones and they all just thought I was squiffy. Which I was, but also making a cultural reference...
Becs - Yes, those are called wicked lines.
Rayleen - Think of the money we save NOT injection fat into our wrinkles.
Big Dot - Looking up squiffy ...Ohh, yeah. That word is easy to use in a sentence.

Big Dot - I know - they look like wizened monkeys.

By the way, when my chicken purse comes, I'm going to call it my hen bag. (Works best if you say it in a Dame Edith Evans/Lady Bracknell accent.)

No, that's the one. I knew you'd know it.

Thanks, I really have enjoyed your cruise and I didn't have to spend anything or get naked.

PolymorphicGirl - Good! Are you sure you don't want a chicken purse now, though?
