No More Pageants... I have Crow's Feet!
I only noticed the bird footprints a year ago. Now, those little feet are the first thing I see when I look in the mirror. As I am getting older, I am really perplexed about what to do. Is this the end of pageant smiling for me? No more beauty contests?
Until I can figure out what to do about it, I have immediately ordered myself to NOT do any more pageant smiling. If you click on the picture in this post, you'll see for yourself only tiny bird footprints. Not too bad wouldn't you say? But now look at my previous blogpost under this one. GASP! Do you see the size of that crows feet? See what I am talking about?! Sniff.
This is really fucking with my head. I am now contemplating always raising up my eyes when I smile (looking like a crazy person) to flatten those babies out! I see older gays do this all the time. When I ask an Elder of our people like E.Shrew, he adamantly insists that his are CHARACTER LINES but mine are undeniably CROW'S FEET! Hmfph.
Question for the day... HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH YOUR CROW'S FEET?

I take off my shirt... it draws my attention to my beer belly, so the crows feet aren't as noticable...
Embrace them and enjoy them. Each line you have shows that you've lived a happy wonderful life. Instead of seeing the negative, remember all the smiles that made those crows feet possible.
HA!! Just wait until your pushing the BIG 65, and then hope that all you have to worry about is crows feet - just relax and calm down, enjoy.
LOL, How Dare You!
Honey, I just have one thing to say to you: PLASTIC SURGERY!!!
Start now; don't wait so long that they can't do anything. You and I both know that the only people who refer to them as "character" are old trolls.
Botox.
Their creeping up on me too, so I'm trying not to laugh anymore.
Good grief! You have beautiful skin.
At our age, most crow's feet are nothing more than dehydration lines. Drink more fluids and keep up that beautiful smile.
I embrace them and my gray hairs (though there are not nearly enough). I am enjoying getting older and I find older men hot so why not accept it all?
Your crows feet are hardly noticeable...fairly shallow, I'd say. They match your personality.
Hey, c'mon...you asked for it!!!
They are what they are - would rather have them then be dead...
Aren't they a sign of wisdom?
That's what I'll be tell myself when I get them.
Brett my man. You have a beautiful smile and share it with us always. It's not just for pageant judges.
You wanna see some crows feet check out Matt Damon on the cover of GQ. No air brushing for the gents I suppose. Would you tell Matt no smiling? I thought not.
Honey, I'm older than you and I don't have 'em.
Crow's feet? Time for a good lotion. Any Trader Joe's in your area? CB
Oh shut up, you know you are cute as all get out!!!!!
I am pretty comfy with my status a "bear daddy!" It is starting to have VERY good effects for me...so bring on the crows feet...it is a sign I have led a happy life!
BTW< I FIALLY got to watch some of your videos. YOUARE TRULY messed up!!! LOL. I saw the PRIDE one and the newest NSFW one (which isn't a problem since I am at home! Hehehehe. Love ya buddy!
Brett....don't let that bother you. You are a handsome man...and you shouldn't worry about a few lines here and there. Don't even waste time thinking aboout it....Just love yourself and take care of yourself....
Put birdseed in your belly button and they'll walk down to you stomach.
Or only use nude photos.
I just accept them, my dear. Especially when they are on other people. I have flawless skin. ;-)
Your left eye lower looks lower than your right. Another sign of aging is sagging facial features. Sorry, and welcome to middle age!!
I just chop'em up and make stew. You know Southern folks never waste any part of the bird. hehehe
If the cream of some young guy doesn't work, and it should, I'd recommend getting over your bad self and recognizing you for the beautiful man you are. Up to, and including, crow's feet. Dear, we aren't getting any younger...but we're getting sassier, aren't we? Hugs and loves.
Thanks guys for all the support. This aging process is going to be something I'll just have to adjust to. One wrinkle and a time. Boo Hoo. ;)
The secret to making crows feet disappear is to hang out with people who look a hell of a lot older than you.
Do what I do. Don't smile, just scowl lol
Seriously, exfoliants will help significantly. The easiest kind to get is a facial scrub with granules. Wash your face with it as much as possible without causing noticeable redness, chafing, swelling and scaling (those are worse than the little lines). A more extreme measure is to have a minor facial peel, from the dermatologist. They use salicylic acid starting in 5%, then 10% then 15% or 20% I think I remember. This of course causes temporary redness, swelling and scaling but the results last quite a long while.
You might even try something like benzoyl peroxide Clearasil or generic acne over the counter creams) but they also cause some irritation in the short term.
The most important thing to do, living where you do is to wear sun block, serious sun block on your face and arms, and shoulders etc if you run around half naked all summer long. European fashion models avoid the sun like smallpox. It destroys the skin, wrinkles are its fastest mark. Sun block sun block sun block, for years and years or you will have heavily lined skin as you age (if aging is your destiny).
Moisturizers, hydration, vitamins etc are nothing compared to sunblock in the long run. Start now and they won't get (too much) worse.
PS. Smoking is the strongest wrinkle drug there is on earth.
