Spackling

Um, this from Lisa Schiffren at The Corner:

Speaking of Joe — what in God's name possessed him at the dermatologist's? He had the eyelift a little while ago. But now he has the deathly pallor of someone who has had more than a few peels, microdermabrasion, whatever. Plus all the little upper lip wrinkles are gone. Restylane. And he has had the naso-labial folds spackled in with more restylane, or maybe heavy-duty purlane. Obviously that unmoving central forehead was over-botoxed. The plastic surgeons and dermatologists in my neighborhood all pride themselves on more subtle work.
