I Guess I Don’t Fit
A recent Time magazine on “Amortality” (living agelessly, trying to avoid aging) centers on Las Vegas and says this:
That’s the Vegas paradox: despite the mind-boggling range of architectural styles and eras represented, there’s a remarkable uniformity to it all. The residents are similarly homogeneous. Perma-tanned and toned, many of them sport a uniface common to both genders and across the income range, from bellhops to casino owners. The uniface is defined by absences: its eyebrows have been plucked, threaded or waxed into submission; its fine little nose is free from bumps and bulges. Above all, it looks neither young nor old. It is ageless. It is amortal.
Really? The Vegas I live in? … Weirdness.
