Jane Fonda is all over the news at the
moment having had a little ‘work' done on her chin, neck and eyes. Unlike most
people in La-la land, she's owning up to it, thus everyone is raving about her
honesty.
To me however, she's just one big double
standard. Remember back in 2000? Despite having had breast augmentation and eye
bag removal surgery, Ms. Fonda began a very vocal campaign against plastic
surgery. (She had the implants removed, claiming they were ‘unwomanly,' and
somehow the eye surgery didn't count as plastic surgery.) She also made a
public pact with fellow actress Sally Field in 2007 not to have any more
plastic surgery done. (No comment so far from Ms. Field, although her face is
looking rather ‘tight' these days. I'm just saying......)
Discussing herself on her blog, Ms. Fonda said she got
herself a new haircut as a distraction. Make your mind up - if you're fessing
up to plastic surgery, why then try to make people think it's your new ‘do'
that's taking years off you? ‘My crows feet are alive and well' she gushes, as
if retaining one sign of ageing cancels out the work done on the rest of her
visage. Apparently Fonda decided to renege on her deal with Field because she
became ‘tired of not looking how I feel.' (Does that strike anyone else as
hilarious? I get up every morning not looking quite like how I feel, i.e. human.)
She continues, ‘I wish I'd been brave
enough not to do anything but instead, I chose to be a somewhat more glamorous
grandma.' Perhaps the icing on the cake here is that she's apparently writing a
book about ageing. Ha! ‘I want to give a face to ageing' says Jane. Obviously
just not the one she was born with.
Look - I don't care who has what done to
their face or any other part of their body. Go for it. Knock yourselves out. I
may be joining you in the future, who knows? What I'm fed up with is stars who constantly
try to tell the world what to do, whether it's feeling the burn or eschewing
plastic surgery in favour of L'Oreal anti-ageing cream. They're as fickle as
the wind.
