I've always liked Joan Rivers - her comedy - kind of mean sometimes, but she was funny. I saw her on TV this morning. She looked as if she was wearing a mask. Her face appeared paralyzed, with little or no muscle movement, no expression except for what you see above, and she kind of spoke as if she may have had stroke. It was weird.
She's never hidden the fact that she has been a plastic-surgery junkie, which is fine when you have too much money I guess, not to diminish those souls who genuinely need cosmetic surgery however. In Joan's case, as with Michael Jackson, the end result is pretty freaky.
An interesting note however, she related how she loves the Catholic religion, grew up with Catholics and went to Mass with her girlfriends, feeling left out when she couldn't go into the confessional as they did.

I've always loved Joan, too. What was her catchphrase? "Oh, stop it." "Shut up." Something like that. She was freaking hilarious during her stand-up days. Johnny Carson shafted her. That chair should've been hers.
ReplyDeletePretty soon Joan's eyebrows will be on the back of her head if she keeps having surgery.
ReplyDeleteAmerican women are mistaking frozen facial features with youth, but if you look at the Holy Father, who, though 80, sparkles with life, and I'm thinking of sweet older women I've known, the beauty of youth is joy and life and it comes through the eyes. It's an external expression of the state of the soul and you can't make that state appear by stretching skin on the face.
ReplyDeleteAs John Paul II said: Despite old age, despite death, youth is found in God. (paraphrase)
Mother Teresa was/is another example of this principle. Although her face was riddled with deep wrinkles, she looked like a young girl.....SF
