Kate explores an ad for Botox. She writes, “So, we purposefully paralyze muscles in our faces with poison. I’m dumbfounded. Not only that, the ad itself, never mind the two additional pages of fine print warnings, lists the ‘serious side effects’ as ‘life threatening’ such as problems speaking, swallowing or breathing. Talk about giving new meaning to the ‘seen and not heard’ axiom! We’re supposed to be wrinkle-free our entire lives, and, like a cardboard cut-out of a person, we’re unmovable in our pursuit of a lineless face.”
