These harsh economic times, however, call for a different ideology, says Terry O'Neill, NOWs new president. Middle-aged women are struggling to compete in the job market. "They have to find work," she told the New York Times. "They are going for Botox or eye work, because the fact is we live in a society that punishes women for getting older. By framing affordable access to face-lifts as a women's issue, NOWs president has given cosmetic surgery giants like Allergan, which makes Botox, one of its strongest arguments. The Bo-Tax, Allergan's spokeswoman explained to me without detectable irony, is about "a woman's right to choose." In 1991, Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth argued that society promoted unrealistic images of female beauty to keep women locked in place, forlorn and self-hating....
Question: I want a face-lift but I am afraid of surgery. Is there anything that I can try? Mimi: Hollywood makeup artists have some crazy practices. You can try them. One of the oldest is the "braid" eyelift. The hair at your temple must be long enough to reach across the top of your head to the opposite ear. Section off some hair at your temple.

Two of the area's best pitchers squared off Tuesday in an important Mission League baseball game, but it was a freshman who upstaged them both as host Harvard-Westlake came away with a 5-4 victory over Chaminade at O'Malley Field.

The prospect of getting two root canals at a time didn't scare Lisa Stewart. The price tag was another story. Stewart, who does medical billing out of her home in Jackman, did not have health insurance, or the $4,000 to $5,000 she was told she would have to pay out of her own pocket.

NEW YORK - Baby Boomers heading into what used to be called retirement age are providing a 70 million-member strong market for legions of companies, entrepreneurs and cosmetic surgeons eager to capitalize on their "forever young" mindset, whether it's through wrinkle creams, face-lifts or workout regimens. It adds up to potential bonanza. The market research firm Global Industry Analysts projects that a Boomer-fueled consumer base, "seeking to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay," will push the U.S. market for anti-aging products from about $80 billion now to more than $114 billion by 2015.
