Botox And The Fag

We're happy to be the only ones deeply suspicious of this "botox and the fag" meme which we've been tracking for a couple of years.  We'd noticed it in the West, initially appearing in gay mags aimed at the purportedly more affluent gay man who could pay for cosmetic enhancement.

Then these "botox for the boys" ads, together with free consultations, popped up in freebie fag rags lapped up by the white 20-something ghetto trash stumbling home from the after-party.  Lately, it's being helped by "infomercial" type reporting.  Check this out (underlining by FuelMix):

"In cosmetic medicine, this procedure is called a "soft lift." It combines two of the mildest, least invasive, most popular cosmetic procedures: Botox and dermal fillers. Together, the two offer a temporary, low-risk cosmetic pick-me-up that takes only an afternoon at the spa and around $1,000. Perfect for the targeted middle-aged woman with a moderate pocketbook and no desire to look like Joan Rivers.

But Breeze is neither middle-aged nor a woman. A man under 30, he represents a fraction of one percent of the Botox demographic.

The young gay musician, performer and tireless self-promoter believes that can change.

"It's always been something that's been talked about, but it has to become accessible," he says. "People need to get it out of their minds that it's not fucking plastic surgery."

Breeze thinks the young gay crowd is a ripe target market for Botox and dermal fillers.

"Spending 10 years in the club is going to have an effect on your body, physically," he says. "I think the reason it's appealing to people in that lifestyle is that they can freshen up. It's almost like you take back the years of being all crazy."

What  surprised us was the speed and saturation with which "botox for the fag" hit Asian gay rags predominantly aimed at a younger Asian readership. Since Asian men don't usually look like ageing shit as readily as white boys, there could only be 4 explanations:

1. they have more cash to burn;
2. more of them must be living a  "gay lifestyle" equivalent to burning the dildo at both ends. The gay Asian party scene is getting bigger all the time;
3. they're getting vain and desperate;
4. they've adopted the white cut-off point of age 35, beyond which, it would appear - if the online ads are gospel -  that a fag is not worth looking at;

For those who didn't know, Botox, (botulinum toxin) is actually a lethal neurotoxin, minute doses of which are capable of killing instantaneously.  The only reason Botox as a cosmetic product doesn't kill, is because even smaller doses of it are injected under the skin. The effect is to deaden the muscles temporarily - in other words, it's an induced paralysis.

For the generic fag, Botox could be regarded as another aesthetic "must have" in the burgeoning list:

• facials - we've heard of fags having facials every day.......
• manicures and pedicures
• hair tinting
• tinted contacts
• teeth bleaching
• teeth capping
• waxing
• electrolysis
• tanning sessions
• anal bleaching - yeah you read that correctly

We don't have a problem engaging a bit of outside help to look good.  Where we have a problem is where Insecurity - meets - Obsession - meets - False Body Image - meets - The Gay Gospel.  Like dealing with the Yeti, you'll be damned if you can describe it beforehand, but you'll know exactly what it is when you see it.

For all the "It Gets Better" shit, Faggotry can still take full credit for globally planting the seeds of personal insecurity, courtesy of Ageism and Lookism. It's well known that fags are more insecure than str8 men.  It's  ironic that after exhorting gay teenagers not to kill themselves, nobody bothers to tell them that they'll die a thousand deaths in Fagland. Most will become emotionally deadened young adults (so injecting Botox to deaden the skin makes perfect sense), some will turn to drugs to ease the pain, a very few will awaken and leave the mentality and the postal code whilst they're still alive.

So what's going on here....? Trapped by Faggotry, is metamorphosis only possible via botox and filler? Is there a life metaphor here that what's been hollowed out inside can only be chemically filled?

In an earlier post, Dead Man Dancing, we'd mentioned the profitable connection between addiction and infection via the gay mega-dance parties. The introduction of Botox - for- the- Twink appears to make a potentially profitable connection between Insecurity, Self-Loathing, Naiveite, Vanity and Big Pharmaceuticals.

We're told repeatedly that Botox and fillers are harmless and assimilated into the body over time. But has anyone bothered to research the combination of Botox, fillers, cigarettes, alcohol, weed, amphetamines, steroids and poppers? Thought not.  But the average fag ingests at least more than one from that list over a long period of time.

We're baffled at the blitz Botox advertising aimed at young gay men. It's all about Looking Good Now.  There's nothing said about Future Shock or Future Consequences. It fits perfectly into one of the fundamental tenets of Faggotry, which is Hedonism. Are we to assume that all this marketing of Botox and filler is to inculcate a new grooming regime.....? In other words, if a fag can ingest chems, he can tolerate a chem injected to his face for a few decades to come?  Is Botox destined to become the new gay recreational drug....?

So......next time some hot looking 20 something claims to be drug free, are you gonna have the guts to ask if he's Botox free too....??
