Botox wears off. It puffs up the tissues to make wrinkles disappear but has to be reapplied periodically. After many treatments the sessions are spaced further apart and you require them less and less.
I know this. And I think its very strange when old people have some wrinkley parts and not others. My mom never had Botox and she barely has wrinkles.
Can you really claim that your city is home to the most beautiful people when most of the beautiful people have come from elsewhere? Most of the people that are well dressed and look great in L.A. and NYC have gone there from elsewhere looking for modeling and acting work. I'd say the average New Yorker or Los Angelan is just that -average.
The fact is, compared to natives of cities like Rome and Milan, the average American; including those from L.A. and NYC, are overweight and poorly dressed.
thats laughable. Manhattan doesnt translate into transplant from north dakota there are many born and raised manhattanites.....in manhattan lol
Im more impressed by the genius of the poorer nabes in nyc anyway. Those that didnt need trustfund money and versace to create a style that would be followed WorldWide. And those are as native nyer as u can get
I'm a transplant from Ohio and I was always drawn to NYC because it represented the ultimate urbane (not urban but that is obviously a reality that we have to acknowledge) and fashion capital of the USA. Well, a lot of the mystique is due in large to the wonderful advertising and marketing campaigns, outstanding film settings and glamorous iconic figures from history. Granted, I can find whatever I need to create an uber-sophisticated lifestyle and environment but there is a caveat. While one may live a fab life and personify that, one is ALWAYS having to deal with the harsh realities of urban living. There is very little middle ground. Sociological lines are clearly drawn and there is an ever-present antagonism. As I walk to my "coveted" job whereby the company is glamorous but the work isn't, dressed elegantly in designer clothing which generally includes an expensive handbag and shoes a la Sex and The City style, hair, nails and feet always done with impeccable makeup, I am met with odious glares. This wasn't what I expected. In Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna and Rome (and I have been to them all), beautiful women acknowledge each other approvingly and men look on favorably. It's a war zone in NYC. One might find shelter amid the jealous fueled storms with other similar acquaintances but when you step outside, it's not the glamorous enclave generally depicted. Whether it be the "pants to the ground" crew, tattoo crew, big hair holding on to the 80's crew, the Shenaenae and gold teeth crew, bohemian by default, etc, etc., there is something about "NY style" that infuriates them. I should have moved to Paris years ago. (BTW - I lived in LA for two years, but I really prefer NYC access to fashion and style.)
I feel the same way! I feel I get more dirty looks here in Manhattan than I do anywhere I else. I feel I get dirty looks from a lot of women. I don't particularly like the NYC "style", I prefer the more laid back west coast look. This place is too uptight and people think too much of themselves here.
yeah you guys are sooo spoiled here. How come if I never see Brad Pitt?
Most of the celebrities are smart and only come to NYC for business related things, and not to live. When it comes down to where they want to live, it's usually in beautiful California.
There are a lot of beautiful people in NYC. There are tons of models, dancers, actors, students, many immigrants and tons of tourists to trow in the mix. There are many beautiful people around. Just sit on any bench somewhere in a busy street and count how many beautiful people pass by. You will count a lot in less than an hour I am sure.

Huh? You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
For celebrities, business is in Hollywood not NYC. Just like for models and designers, business is in NYC. "Celebrities" (i.e. actors) careers are based in Hollywood. Hollywood is where the agents are, Hollywood is where the studios are, etc.
Even with that, it seems a huge amount of Hollywood based celebrities live in NYC (Meryl, Madonna, Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves, Harrison Ford, Kate Winslet, Will Ferrel, Gwneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, etc etc.) even though it is thousands of miles from business. Clearly a choice as living in NYC for them is not business efficient.
