    And next. Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

    Before and after.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    God almighty. They are freaks.

    If they had aged naturally they would probably still be quite handsome. 'Nuff said.
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    It seems these folk think that looking young is the be all and end all. Without realising that often young people can be ugly as f__k.

    As these "procedures" become more affordable, they are becoming more and more commonplace. Thankfully not to that degree, but I fear it is a slippery slope and can lead to a body "dismorphia" (or a word similar to that).

    I count myself lucky as I have had a face like a dropped pie for most of my life, and am quite used to it

    Firstly, I don't know who the fuck they are - some Z-list celebs?

    However, bloody hell, what a freakin' mess right enough... They've turned into aliens!!

    Best tips for staying looking young involve NO surgery or make-up whatsoever:

    1) Drink lots of water.

    2) Get lots of sleep.

    3) Eat healthily - DO NOT smoke!

    4) Avoid stress.

    5) Exercise regularly/get plenty of fresh air.

    6) Feel genuinely fulfilled/happy and contented with life, and so more prone to smiling than frowning.

    Job done, then let just nature take its course!

    Lol - good one!

    Also... Embrace the FACT that 'the look' you had in 1975, when you were 25 (e.g long hair and/or biker's jacket, tattoos), makes you look like a TOTAL TIT at 65!!

    And, if you've clearly put on weight (and/or have a protruding beer belly) ENBRACE REALITY, and stop trying to squeeze into the same size of trousers you wore 15 years ago, by wearing them further and further down your waist, towards your feet!

    Oh, and lose that hair dye!!

    Nothing worse than an oldie in denial

    Spot on Marco - had a "no 2" (hair cut) for several years now, a sweep over or greying ponytail just isn't me.

    Lol... Have you see those clowns in their 70s, etc, with lank, grey ponytails and big bald patches in the centre of their domes?

    Get a fucking haircut, ya muppets!! And don't be in denial about yer bald patch. You're only accentuating it, by having what's left of your hair so long!

    On the flipside though, what is it with youngsters now sporting big, bushy 'granddad beards', wearing 'granddad shirts', etc, and generally wanting to look three times their age? Jeezuz... When I was their age, I wouldn't have looked like that if you'd paid me!

    It's NOT a good look, or particularly clever either, just because it's 'fashionable'. Take a good look in the mirror, 'trendy boys', and you'll see a TWAT staring back, so get the fuzz shaved off and wear something decent
