In this hilarious and original take on the cult of looking young (or at least less old), Beth Teitell takes the spotlight off the pampered Park Avenue social X-ray set and offers a beacon to real women yearning for a second youth. She turns a lighted magnifying glass on our Botoxed New World, a frightening and expensive landscape filled with facial fitness coaches, $475 serums that promise to cheer up aging skin, and anti-aging gummi bears while helping us laugh at the madness. (But not too hard ladies, consider those nasolabial folds!) Women today spend an enormous amount of energy, time, and money looking for the magic bullet—the face cream, tonic, mud mask, or surgery—that will transform their middle-aged bodies and faces into models of 20-something fitness and beauty. As she chronicles our hunt for the elusive fountain of youth, Teitell lampoons the latest trends, yet offers hope that in this age-obsessed culture, just maybe, 50 is the new 40.
