So it's like less about looking like a dead body, I suppose, and more about like being an inanimate object, which can remain unchanging.

And can remain forever smooth and like plastic doesn't sag like skin.

Yeah.

I wonder like, what do you think this morgue beauty trend is?

And our obsession with dead beauty icons indicates, or rather I should say our current obsession with dead beauty icons.

What do you think that indicates about women's place in society or what women are dealing with in culture more broadly right now?

I'm very interested in the inverse relationship that you have highlighted also here between an obsession with eternal beauty and an obsessive fear of death.

As you mentioned, anti-aging is anti-life.

Tattoo that on my forehead, please, because I need people to understand.

And I say this as somebody who, listen, I love to be fully moisturized.

I love to feel nice and plump.

and juicy.

But still, anti-aging is anti-life.

But I don't know.

It's kind of bugging me out that those two things, they are so equally compelling to people, or at least within the same ballpark, right?

Eternal beauty and fear of death.

Like,

death is the end of life to give a definition to everyone.

Um, you don't need to be beautiful to be alive.

No.
