What's next? Botox for babies?

I'm so bored of all the ads I see daily featuring beautiful women apparently moaning about invisble (airbrushed out) wrinkles.

Life's short. Why waste so much of it worrying about things that, in the grand scheme of things, really don't matter?

Part of me would love to see an baby in a similar ad. If we saw a beautiful baby bemoaning her or his wrinkly skin / baby fat, we'd recognise it as ludicrous. Maybe we'd even stop being so hard on ourselves...

Yet we seem to believe that these adult models (many of them accomplished actors) have nothing better to do than long for younger looking skin?
