I have a lot of friends who look older for the same reason. I don't think Adele has wrinkles, but I do think she looks older than 23. You made a lot of good points, but I think you said that she's the same age as Lindsay Lohan? I may have read that wrong, but if not, just pointing out that Lindsay is almost 26. Anyway, I agree that people should stop pointing out every wrinkle and flaw on celebrities, because it's their business and shouldn't be made public. She's a pretty girl and has a good voice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-63266685944635592832012-02-25T21:25:14.683-05:002012-02-25T21:25:14.683-05:00Adele has mentioned numerous times in interviews t...Adele has mentioned numerous times in interviews that she smokes and drinks a lot, which tends to age people. While she doesn't look "old", she looks older than she is. I was very surprised to learn she's only 23, as she looks to be at least 30. I don't see any wrinkles though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-67409817554063292702012-02-20T19:13:26.565-05:002012-02-20T19:13:26.565-05:00Cath

I think part of the problem is our unquestioned consumption of mediated images - ie: every image seen in the media has bee photoshopped. We've come to rely on and demand perfection (our stilted view of perfection at least) without questioning the reality/truthfulness of the images we see on a daily, if not minute by minute basis. Our ideals of beauty have become stilted to the point where "normal" seems like an affront to our sensibilities. It's a vicious cycle of both celebrating people for representing ideal forms of beauty and punishing them for when they deviate from those ideals which is, of course inevitable. If we exercise this type of judgement on others, I hate to think what type of self judging we are doing.<br /><br />Jbeautysquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537285243645269519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-35274526702583079432012-02-16T04:53:33.500-05:002012-02-16T04:53:33.500-05:00And forgot to mention: EEEEE BUSTER KEATON.

I hate it when someone thinks he/she insults one other by saying that they have wrinkles. It's like trying to insult someone by saying 'You have long hair, you bastard!' and equally ridiculous. Because this is not a faulty personality, not a bad behaviour, not even an annoying habbit. This is that person's physical appearance and which is the same to me with saying someone that they are fat and hoping that they would be offended. And I personally think that Adele is one of the most beautiful women in music industry with actually something quality to offer. She looked amazing that night and deserved every single of those awards. <br /><br />She's my age and if she has dry skin, she'll eventually will have wrinkles sooner than others because that's what I'll go through. I wish I had amazing skin that refuses to get old and saggy but alas, we're human and I think it's really creepy to see a 50 year old woman with a baby girls skin. It's trying too hard and never serves the person well enough to make up it's cost. Aging gracefully is what I care about and hoping for, for myself.PageAndLeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931069312042922228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-59431070889279234422012-02-15T23:21:02.674-05:002012-02-15T23:21:02.674-05:00Also, this was a great post.

I would much rather have laugh lines than no wrinkles at all!<br /><br />Also, some people just don't know any better... did you see all the people saying, "Who is Paul McCartney?!" or "I've never heard of Bonny Bear... who the hell is that?!". People never cease to surprise me... ha!<br /><br />Whenever there is an awards show or something "big" happening (like a celebrity death or marriage), I make sure to stay away from facebook and twitter or else I go a little insane! ;)Holly Knitlightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403267201087602217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-79293225729995544502012-02-15T12:36:05.555-05:002012-02-15T12:36:05.555-05:00And that pretty much lays this whole argument to r...And that pretty much lays this whole argument to rest.Bon's Motshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036033082611506543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862566457662104543.post-17614461760697796722012-02-15T10:52:54.257-05:002012-02-15T10:52:54.257-05:00uh, i can speak from experience.

The thing that stuck out for me was her bubbly personality, her frankness and her amazing makeup.<br /><br />After reviewing photos and rewatching the 60 Minutes footage, I did see some wrinkles. (GASP! Hold the fucking presses!) But nothing that would make me question her age. Adele has more wrinkles than I do, and I'm almost twice her age. For me, it's got to be genetics - I don't wear sunscreen on my face, wear make-up everyday and, until a few months ago, smoked. For her, as you point out, perhaps the harsh TV lighting, the amount of makeup and stress from the spotlight and her surgery created a few wrinkles. <br /><br />I, too, love to be snarky, but there were a few tweets that night that crossed the line. You don't make fun of folks for things they cannot change, like their age, or their body type. I unfollowed a few people on Twitter that night because of their insensitivite and sometimes cruel observations they try to pass off as humour. If you were to ask them, these same people would be against bullying, yet they lack the self-awareness to see that they are engaging in the same tactics.Bon's Motshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036033082611506543noreply@blogger.com
