Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Thompson form Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League

Growing more beautiful as we age, is about learning to love ourselves by being as real and true to our innermost values.

Paying too much attention to what goes on outside of us, never brings out the true light and love that lives within.

We must be strong and set new and kinder standards - firstly beginning with ourselves.

With Goddess-sent Gratitude,

Please note - in response to some comments here - that I would define 'cosmetic' as an outwardly learned desire to remain very young which is sold to us All by both men and women. Love and accept yourself - take care of yourself and find joy in YOU!

I love it! I am happy with myself and any changes I need to make are within my realm - a bit more exercise and 'balance'. Why would I want to look like all the frozen insecure phonies?

The fear of DEATH and AGING puts money into the hands of vultures preying on those who have the least courage to face Death and Aging.

They all look a helluva lot better than the ones that look like they're made of plastic and can't even smile normally. Joan Rivers is a good Example.

Wondering what the definition for cosmetic surgery is? Mine is going under the knife, and perhaps laser surgery. I do anti aging things which I consider innocuous, and not surgery, like chemical peels, and topical skin care regimes. Other than that, I object to the ubiquitousness of cosmetic surgery and how it seems to have become the norm, and almost expected of anyone over 30, and worse, acceptable for people in their 20's. I agree with the poster who said that it is a benefit to some people who really need it, but most don't. I think it represents a pathological fear of death, and therefore a non acceptance of life. I try to view our bodies as some kind of stage in the course of our development as souls - much like some creatures move from one form to another as they move through the life cycle - butterflies for instance. I believe the world is in the shape it's in due to it's irrational fear of death, and subsequent rejection of life. Lack of faith naturally springs from these conditions. Not just faith in God or religion, but faith in ourselves, in our capacity to grow and learn, in the rewards of effort, etc. Instead, many put their faith in the hands of cosmetic surgeons, or other people/institutions/objects, etc.

Confidence and happiness are what makes a person beautiful, and I definitely feel that people should be encouraged to love themselves for who they are naturally. But piercing ears is a form of cosmetic surgery, and they've all had that done. How about makeup? Or hair dye? Or bras? All lies and illusions. But if they make people feel good about themselves, I say rock on. It is not my place to judge.

Vanity is one of the seven deadly sins

Thank goodness for the naturals in tinsel town...Lord help us all when they walk around and look like Joan Rivers....Now that is one messy looking face!!

I love these actresses too! especially Kate Winslet, I've seen here in interviews and the way she speaks and acts, she is such a beautiful person inside and out

kudos for these ladies i appreciate as artists...

That's how it used to be when I won a beauty competition in 1956.

Right on Ladies!!!

its about time people started to speak up. I am so sick of looking at these plastic faces. They all look like. Like the planet of the apes. Yuck.

What I find truly repulsive are the breast enlargements that so many of these women
are having. These great bulgeing boobs, straining to break free of dresses and tops
is not a pretty sight. Some of these women remind me of dairy cows waiting to be
milked.

Beauty comes from within...The world lacks inner beauty. Now, mother Theresa...she was beautiful !.

Very unfortunate how Corporate media has defined the standards of beauty so that if you don't have the perfect, wrinkle free face, you are somehow less of a human being. People are growing up and thinking that this is acceptable. I've got a couple friends who are saying that they'll need plastic surgery around 30 and that they don't want to live past 45 because they'll be "old". It's disgusting that the world has come to this.

Good on these three, world needs more of them.

great idea.

I aplaude them BIG TIME!!!! To sad that we copy the AMERICAN WAY!!! Why can't we be grateful the way we we're born...gosh I am...yeah I have 10pounds more, wrinkles...but I am HAPPY....my hubby loves each wrinkle i have...I am 40 , I will age graceful.
I have no problems with plastic surgery if there is an accident or abuse or even breathing problem..why would anyone just go under the knife for pleasure!!!! What has happend to us humans...so sad...instead going under the knife they should go to a shrink!!!!
Feel sorry for them!!!! Good for those smart,successful woman...and you look 100% beautiful!!!!
