oh this is SO good!!!!! one time for a class I combed through a discussion board of people analyzing ads that targeted ageing and the first part of this reads like an amalgamation of all of them. as always I ADORE your writing and I love the part on mothers & daughters

Thank you so much!! There's something so dark about those anti-aging ads.

That mothers & daughters section was inspired in part by the post linked below, I was looking into existing writing on the subject & Emma here said point blank that she started looking at her mother for ways she might get work done in the future & I think it is such a potent symbol for the less-tangible things that are at stake in these pursuits.

She brings out a lot of details about elective cosmetic surgery that I wanted to include here but couldn't wrangle into the format I chose, def worth a read

I’ll give it a read!! 🫡 and very much agree to the less tangible part, I remember I wrote for the same class about how it can become such a driving force for daughters as they grow up and grow into it
