I remember watching that BBC 'Synth Britannia' documentary a few years ago and thinking "why does everyone in this look like a taxi driver now?". Then I looked in the mirror and thought "oh shit I look like a taxi driver now".

There is some life-affirming humour to be found in the "we all end up looking terrible" theme, but needs rejigging here.

The way I understood the vibe from the original thread was 'bloat' as a descriptor of the physical manifestation of access to too many excesses, years and years of Bacchanalian excess expressed upon the visage (perhaps the singer of Sum 41 being the most tragic example)
But you're definitely right that there's an element of fat-shaming to the concept too, and I apologize for the offense and the perpetuation of it

this thread makes me sad because despite the "overindulgence lol" premise it seems like it's fundamentally about aging as such. the "bloat" in question derives from the unpleasant fact that, generally, your face gets fuller and rounder and mushier as you go from twenties to thirties to forties. My dad is a plastic surgeon and he's described the irreversible process by which gravity acts upon the face, and in particular upon where and how fat gets stored on the face. You can tuck your chin and enhance your jaw, and tighten things sideways with facelifts, but you really can't undo what age and gravity are going to do to your features past a certain point. (Part of why you don't see, say, "facial liposuction"). Radical diets can swing the weight up or down, but the essential process of going from "sharper features" to "softer features" is largely unvarying. And yes, there are some examples of older men with gaunt, bony features (the hawklike and supremely photogenic older portraits of Samuel Beckett comes to mind), but they're outliers. In general, to age is to bloat to a certain extent.

David Lynch is somehow like the Mr. Rogers of celeb directors. (Mr Rogers was the exact same size and weight for like 40 years or some shit due to living each day the exact same)
― mh, Thursday, 7 August 2014 04:01 (ten years ago)
Mr. Rogers was a vegetarian. David Lynch is a "rumored" vegetarian. David Lynch claimed he ate at Bob's Big Boy every afternoon for seven years, so we could say he's prone to routine.

I think w child stars the larger issue is that children whose faces are seen to have some kind of "star quality" that adults respond to often grow up to look kind of...funny? Because child stars don't look like normal kids, they're supposed to have that "something" at age 5 or 8 or 10. Some kinda ratio of eye size to cheekbones or some shit, how do I know.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Thursday, 7 August 2014 12:54 (ten years ago)
Haley Joel Osment was always an odd one from that POV because he had little squinty eyes rather than big doe eyes. And as his face and head got bigger, his eyes… didn't.

tune is space otm, the other part of the equation is the loss of teen/early adult fat. so you end up having sharper features for a few years before the onset of adult gravity and the fat that comes in differently in your face as an adult rather than as a youth.
plus that creepy thing where your nose and ears continue growing

I saw Matthew Sweet live around 2003/4 when he was doing that group thing "The Thornes" and that was the first time I'd seen him in a while and there was some definite drug-related bloat going on there. My friend at the show with me suspected heroin, but I always though heroin made a person super skinny. Depends on the person, I guess, because Steve Earle puffed up too.

Heroin can have side effects of nausea and vomiting. A friend of mine told me that when she was real strung out, she would puke all day.
― how's life, Thursday, 7 August 2014 17:00 (ten years ago)
once you have starved yourself on a steady diet of heroin + air and are v skinny, your metabolism is messed up. when you start living like a normal person again, dramatic weight gain can occur. like any starvation diet. bad idea.
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Thursday, 7 August 2014 17:15 (ten years ago)
I think the nausea/vomiting side effects apply to all opiates, although not for everyone, as I told the nurse who said I should probably take vicodin with food when I dry swallowed one
