Because You're Ugly: Orange County Puts Vanity on Hold

Orange County? Postponing implants and Botox?

The New York Times is reporting that in Orange County, “where plastic surgery is a part of [our] culture” (sigh), business is down 30 to 40 percent. 

The story chalks it up to both financial constraints and, surprisingly, even a “Botox backlash”–men and women finally disparaging the unnatural, plastic look cosmetic surgeries all too often generates. 

And more good news for your Friday afternoon: Other researchers are finding that less sex, more depression–which, in turn, can lead to all sorts of health issues–and teary ballads topping the carts are other ramifications of the recession. 

Have a good weekend!
