THE ACTRESSES’ SCULPTURE

The idea of ​​an actress over 70 years old continuing to work under the surgeon’s knife is a reflection of the social pressures placed on women, particularly in the fashion and entertainment industry. These pressures often emphasize the need to remain young and attractive to maintain a career, even in old age, like Diane Keaton who no one can recognize anymore.

A sort of social movement of the void where society imposes a standard of eternal youth, particularly for women. Actresses are frequently forced to undergo surgical procedures to match unrealistic beauty standards and remain competitive in the job market. So, we continue to see “Naomie Pabelle”, “Claudia Chou-fleur”, and “Laetitia Casse-toi” on the catwalks of the big Fashion family.

It is not only a matter of personal choice, but also a response to the expectations of the industry and the public. There is an underlying critique of ageism and sexism in this world in which older men are usually valued for their experience and maturity, while women are judged on their appearance. In truth, if I had the choice, I would rather sleep with the “Cauliflower” than the man from Toledo.

This trend reinforces the idea that aging is something to be fought against rather than accepted. This can have negative effects on self-esteem and body image. Thus, younger generations internalize these standards, and begin their operations very young. In the past, we offered a car for the Baccalaureate, today a breast augmentation.

In short, this situation embodies a dilemma between societal expectations and the realities of aging, as well as a critique of beauty standards that continue to marginalize women as they age. An invention still organized by men to marginalize women once again. For my part, it’s good to get old, because being young was killing, but being old is when you know all the answers but no one asks you any questions anymore.
