AT the rate that all columnists, beauty experts, entertainment writers, and showbiz personalities here and abroad are commenting on the Charice “botox” issue, it has emerged as the most controversial aspect of her career, almost as stupefying as her rise to fame.
While the dizzying breaks that accompanied Charice’s international career did have a few bumps and reproaches along the way (“she’s not that good; so many Filipino youngsters are better”), no one can dispute that her being at the right place at the right time catapulted her to an enviable position not only for herself, but also for her country.
And there, comes the rub. Charice must think country before she thinks of herself. Everywhere she goes, she carries the country with her. When she sings out of tune, when she dresses unbecomingly, when she speaks out of line, when she undergoes botox. Poor girl, such a heavy load for one so young. But that is the prize of fame.
Without going into details of whether or not she did get botox as the Belos and the Charice defenders are exercising damage control on, I would simply like to share something I picked up from a columnist of another publication. According to this lady, a study on botox in the scientific journal “Psychological Science” showed that not only does botox numb and paralyze the muscles resulting in the erasure of facial lines responsible for the ageing look, it also is responsible for disrupting emotions so that patients cannot express themselves well. And this is according to a team of scientists who conducted experiments on ladies injected with botolinum toxin-A commercially known as botox.
What this means is that an actress or a singer may look marvelous, but when singing or acting out anger or sorrow, our brain that cues facial muscles to move accordingly to bring out these emotions are hindered significantly from doing so in time. And that is the negative effect on those whose careers depend on effective emotions from unparalyzed facial muscles. Take this information with a grain of salt.
