In case anybody was wondering about Katie Holmes' hair extensions and beautiful look when she attended the movie premiere in Japan and its cost, the Daily Mail has reputed that it was a a £30,000 makeover.
Yowser.
And she has removed the long hair extensions which supposedly took six hours to put in and cost £2,000.
And how was the rest spent, you ask? I'm glad you asked.
£7,000 in spa treatments,
£20,000 in dental veneers
£1,000 for premium make-up.
And how long did it take her to achieve this flawless look? Evidently, more than two days.
Youth by itself is normally gorgeous. We don't half appreciate it at the time.
I could make a joke and say that I could understand it costing me £30,000, but Katie Holmes?
The bar is ratcheting up in today's market.
It used to be enough to have your own teeth; now they need to be white. And they should be straight. But have you ever noticed how many movie stars' teeth are not, when they are projected on the wide screen? How come is that, when the rest of us are bombarded daily with adverts promising us white, white teeth and a perfect structure. And quickly too!
Whatever happened to wanting our own form of beauty rather than becoming a copy of someone else, because everyone is being made over by the same doctors and their look is the in thing?
And have you seen the photos where Madonna now looks eerily like Kate Winslet? It used to be enough to be Madonna, even when she looked like her real self a la Desperately Seeking Susan.
I refuse to believe it's that hard to be a woman.
Of course, if they have money to burn or want to be unrealistically, perpetually young, they will have to go the extra mile. And then the bar is ratcheted up once again for the rest of us. But first, I'd take a trip, then I might consider taking another one. Then again, I can't conceive of having that kind of money.
How about you?
