Appearances vs Reality

I rarely have anything good to say about my appearance…I’ve always tried to compensate for my physical imperfections and shortcomings by working on my personality and sense of humor and hoping that would be enough. Today, I saw a picture of Lindsay Lohan from the AmFar Gala last night – here it is:

Now…I think she looks like a right hot mess. The interesting thing is her face – girlfriend is looking OLD!! I am closing in on my 38th birthday in a couple of months (2 months from tomorrow, actually) — & I don’t think I look that old!!! Her body is amazing…the only way I’ll ever have a figure like that will be via drastic plastic surgery or becoming a speed addict , but just look at how rough her face looks. It’s kind of sad, actually. She’s 25 years old…& clearly those 25 years have been hard. Poor thing. After the day I’ve had today (the urinator came back to school ), I needed something to cheer me. And yes, I know how awful it is for me to take delight in someone else’s poor situation – & I’m not enjoying the hard life she’s had (although I do think 99% of her troubles are her own damn fault), I am feeling slightly better about my old, unattractive self today. Petty? Yep. But I need a little something to make me smile
