I mean, to me, it was a surprise that it was even the newsflash.

Ah, okay.

I missed that.

But the names and events, I suppose, I remember are Renee Zellweger, when she had work done to her face and she was at a premiere and everyone was like, who is this person?

And it got pretty mean after that.

But also more recently, Mandy Moore, that like 90s pop singer who, similarly to Renee, got some work done and looks quite different now.

Yeah, it definitely makes me feel like, can I be 50 and wrinkle-free?

Because lots of these women who are actresses and models seem to be.

It's a bit ridiculous, but it has made me newly obsessed with skincare, I'll say.

Definitely with the retinol and the vitamin C serums and all that kind of stuff.

That's really fascinating to view aging as a medical thing to fix.

But it's also interesting, the stigma angle, because I will say, when I saw Kris Jenner's new face, and she's like, what, 70, 70 plus, I actually felt viscerally angry.

I was like, is this what we're expected to look like at 70?

Like, 50 is one thing, but this is next level.

Yeah, exactly.

And I guess the other aspect of all of this is also what it's doing to, like, the diversity of the faces we see.

I remember Bella Hadid a few years ago talked about her nose job and how she regretted getting her nose job because it meant she no longer had the nose of her ancestors.

And actually, um...

Hearing that was really interesting and kind of made me feel better about my nose, because that's probably the one part of my body where I've always been like, could I get a nose job one day?

And I never have, and I don't think I ever will.
