That girl is poison...

Dear Shape Magazine,

In this month's issue of Shape you solicited reader feedback. Well, here it is!
One of your tips on how to look your best was: Botox before wrinkles! You say that if we, your readers, start injecting Botulinium Toxin into our face before wrinkles begin we can stop them. See, injecting Botox makes your face freeze, for all intents and purposes. You can't smile or frown. Therefore, you're preventing wrinkles with facial paralysis. Only, see, here's the thing. I LIKE smiling. I even like frowning. I appreciate that people around me can interpret my facial expression as an indicator to my mood. I don't like the idea of not being able to move my muscles.

Also, I have some startling information for you. Whether your face is smooth as Silly Putty or wrinkled like a Shar-Pei, you are still going to age and die. Really. You can have a face that looks twenty years younger than your age but that will not save you. Nothing will. Just thought you should know.

Also? I am frowning at you right NOW. Can you see it? Good.

Stephanie
