"brow cleavage" -- i love it! and my own.

Here's a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note.

Don't worry

Be happy!

I'm a 50 yr old "old-school" guy, and I eschew women to try to look like they did in their youth. In so many ways, the have "no life". Give me a real face, that shows a real life.

my wrinkle between my brows isn't really mine.. it belongs to my dad...he lets me borrow it

lovely mae had me right through

Nice... I could go on and on and on... but I won't. I will just say- I'm with you Amanda. The sad thing is it is really women themselves who perpetuate this nonsense, so... what can you do? Look at that founder of the animation co (Ciran??) who died recently on the table undergoing cosmetic surgery. She had it all... and she was lovely the way she was. Ah well, here I go going off like I said I wouldn't...

I was just talking with my surgeon to see if I can get a permanent goofy smile like Jack Layton's.

I recently cancelled a gardening magazine subscription that I was getting for free, because I got fed up with all the advertisements for botox injections! It got to be depressing after a while. I am the proud owner of a deeply furrowed brow. If you were a 50-year-old working single mother of 15-year-old twin sons, yours would be furrowed too. It shows the world how hard I'm trying...

I can remember being in a school test in Paris France just after the war...I was eight years old at the time, and the trauma of moving from North America into that war torn environment was deep for me. I felt to look up suddenly, and the 2 teachers at the front of the dead silent room, were pointing to my frown lines and pantomiming my intense concentration with smothered laughter. I have been fascinated by those lines in my own and everyone else's face ever since. And equally fascinated by the Asian proccupation with not having any expression at all. Thank you Amanda! Real women do indeed frown, and laugh and cry and dream of a world in which emotional reality will be safe and accepted. Thank you Amanda!

I'm 33 years young with a well-earned furrow between my brows. I think I'll save the money I could spend on Botox and other cosmetic unecessaries and invest in RRSP Mutual funds and retire early with my naturally lined face. I feel more relaxed already!

Do women have furrows between their brows? I never noticed but I'll keep my eyes open and my mouth shut, just to be polite. I think it would be something like noticing something like freckles so it doesn't really concern me enough to worry about.

How could I communicate with my allies (or otherwise) across a crowded room without my expressive lines?? A split-second face-muscle communication is worth a thousand words. Ask any parent or lover. :)

Botox; the face of the Buddha for today's time rushed socitety.

I don't have to worry about Botox and a facelift or peel. The millwright on my crew has offered to do it all for free, using a "come-a-long" and a forklift. He says he'll lift my jowls off of my kneecaps and yank out the wrinkles around my eyes. I won't look a day over 65, he promises. I'm 58.

Archie Bunker consoled Edith once by expaining that maybe God made his eyes weak as he got older so he couldn't see the wrinkles she was distraught about anyway.

And why should we put any credibility in the comments of someone who can't even get a name in the lead paragraph correct? As a quick Google check would show, it's Jeanne Beker.

Thank you for pointing out the error, it is now fixed.

oh mae! Very well written(with the usual wry twists of humour)never mind maven-probably made her scowl... how about the new north american women's obsession with cutting their toes down so they will be in an ever pleasing straight line!????@*i wonder if they are happy yet?xox

If a woman looks in the mirror and feels depressed by the unsightly facial lines, you have our superficial world to blame. It's HER face and she can do whatever she wants. So she gets a little help with botox. Not everyone digs the brow cleavage like you, Amanda. Do you really want REAL women? Then we might as well forgo deodorant, shaving and toss all our make up out the window. p,s, Preparation-H gives a killer instant facelift!

O well done, Umm Great Niece! Nicely crafted and with a smooth finish- an enjoyable read! Can see your point of view but kinda like females in my world adorned with make-up, stockings, and with acephalic skin hairless etc. While would never advocate Botox- indeed, would resolutely deny its necessity if asked- cannot swear would argue against it in the face of a decision by an associate to use it. But well put and compliments on the piece

It's about time women started taking an interest in thier appearance. At least it's not being done in some back alley clinic in the scuzzy part of town.

their, not thier... maybe you should start taking an interest in your language skills

IT's a typo jerk. Maybe you could read the piece, and give a little constructive criticism? I thought it was well done.

Have any researchers tried injecting this stuff into the voice box? Or the jaw muscles? Even my daughters have lines in their faces. My wife and my mother have some that I most likely contributed to, so I simply don't see them. However, if I could have a little hand held "Channel changer" which gave some lady a shot in the noise maker ... Who knows?

Dang, I thought that would get a comment. Anyhow Pinky: I like the preperation H advice and some old guys I was considering buying a boat from came up with this: WD 40 for arthritis just spray it all over the affected joint. 'Course it probably voids yer warrentee on your hip replacement and the original owner warrentee on your finger joints. Then there is DMSO dimethylsulfoxide Can't buy it here but it's made by the barrel for the Pulp and Paper industry. It's an organic solvent and will carry any thing you want through the skin (it will also carry anything else available through) like sweat or sun screen. So be carefull. In the short term it does promote healing. I ain't recommending this stuff

When I moved from Florida climate to Michigan climate year round, to my astonisment within 3 years I looked several years older with lines that did not show in Florida also the products in Michigan did not work as well for me as in Fl so I resorted in my 5th yr to a dermotologist and to my amazement he prescribed Retin-A and twice over I broke out so gave it up. What about preperation-H and whatever the gal on Oprah Winfrey show said 2/21/05 that in conjunction with is great for the wrinkles etc. I need info from the show I personally did not see!!!!!!!!

I hate to be the messenger of THIS news but I went to the Oprah site and this is what she said. Ugh - "I have been putting vaginal cream on my face for 20 years. And I use that with Preparation H for puffiness and dryness around the eyes. I use that every night and it really seems to work."

Hi helpful Me....I seen that Oprah show too and i was going to try it, but i cannot find it on the Oprah site.I really wanted to read it and see what exactly she does?

Hi there. Hopefully this link will work, although the lady who does this doesn't explain what kind or how she uses the cream for her dry skin. Here it is: http://www.oprah.com/health/beauty/slide/slide_beauty_younger_108.jht ml

Good luck trying it if you decide to! I'm really not on the up & up with what vaginal creams are out on the market...let me know how it goes!

Preparation H contains Hydrocortizone which thins skin if used over time, and maximises appearance of veins. It's fine for use on your bum, but research thoroughly before using it on your face.
