...Botox is now being used by men, some of whom did not even run for President. The number of men in the U.S. who paid to get a series of tiny injections in their face nearly tripled from 2001 to 2007--to 300,000, or about 7% of the total Botoxed population. And despite the recession, those numbers aren't going down yet; one of the many things the laid-off cannot afford is to look their...
...thing I noticed over the many years I worked at More was that although people often wrote about divorce and Botox and sex, they didn't really talk about money in a way that was as profound or exploratory. And then I was kind of pushed over the edge when a relationship of mine ended. I was involved with a very wealthy man, and I was in my early 30s.

Fancy procedures like Botox, face lifts, and microdermabrasion are among the many tricks that can give aging skin a mask of youth. But Harvard Medical School researchers may have found a gene that can actually hold back the clock.

Cells that remain in better condition for longer age more slowly, theoretically allowing organisms to remain younger longer. “People may have an extended lifespan,” said Raul Mostoslavsky...

I thought I'd crossed that invisible but really visible line into middle age. And as a longtime journalist and social observer, I really felt that I needed to chronicle the experience...
...Well, for a while we had an ongoing discussion about whether or not I was going to get Botox. He's a doctor so he's always concerned. He considers that a medical procedure; I was making the argument that something done in a mall next to a Cinnabon can't truly be dangerous. But just between the two of us, he thinks of me as a youthful person. I guess that makes me feel more youthful. I hardly ever do complain [about my age] because I think that's one of the things you should not do. But when...
