I Come In Peace
This is a picture I've had on my computer for a while. It creeps me out every time I come across it. It's from a comedy special Dana Carvey did a year or so ago and it is some scary, air-brushed, alien-looking stuff. I mean, c'mon! A man in his 50s is not supposed to look like that. 
It brings to mind another freak of nature that goes by the name Barry Manilow. I saw a picture of him on that awful TMZ show a few weeks ago that frightened me. A man of 62 years just should not look like this. Frosted tips atop wind tunnel swept skin and those scary 'wide awake' eyes. Apparently looking plastic surgery weird isn't just for ladies anymore.
Heck, the list doesn't stop there! Kenny Rogers comes to mind. I loved Kenny growing up. "The Gambler" "Lucille" "Coward Of The County" and all his duets with Dolly Parton. The man was, well, "The Man." And then came plastic surgery. And cool Kenny suddenly became scary, nightmare inducing Kenny.
I'm not saying looking young is bad thing. but these guys don't look young. They just look creepy.
