Or the wearing of masks. Which is the exact same phenomenon.
You will recall your question to Dr. George Savage about one year ago: “Doctor Savage- should I be wearing a mask?”
Dr. Savage (in summary) “That depends on you. It is not likely to provide any medical benefit to you, but it is a symbol and a signal to those around you that you take this disease seriously and that you care.”
One year later, the science is not to be questioned, and that symbol has become a mandate in many parts of the world.
The biggest problem is when an older actress portrays a character who isn’t a plausible person to have had a facelift; e.g., homeless or working class.
I think it’s in the movie, First Wives’ Club, in which Goldie Hawn’s character is ridiculed for her puffy lip job.
What a fantastic commentary! I laughed at the comparison of one child unable to keep from vomiting starting a chain reaching of the most horrific experience. I doubt the bystanders saw the first ill kid and thought ‘gee, what a good idea!’, yet the starlets see one young thing disfigure her own face (on purpose!) and think just that. The madness of crowds. Thank you for a good bite of real humor, @roblong
