Summary:
Miles Mathis, a 59-year-old man and painter who claims to have a “proven eye for these things,” offers a defense of Justine Bateman’s appearance, stating she “DOES Look Rad.” He argues that at 57 years old, Justine Bateman looks “far far better and far far SEXIER” than many middle-aged women who undergo cosmetic surgery and heavy makeup. Mathis specifically praises her long, thick, healthy hair, skinny arms, and natural wrinkles, contrasting her with individuals like Johnny Depp. He admits he doesn’t know Justine Bateman personally, has never met her, and doesn’t follow her career, nor does he have a crush on her. His sole focus is on her appearance and his wish for more women to age naturally, ditch makeup, stay thin, and avoid coloring their hair. Mathis speculates that criticism of Justine Bateman’s looks likely comes from women rather than men, as he believes many men are “sick of the make-up and perfumes and nail polishes and stinky shampoos. They are sick of the fried hair. They are sick of the fake teeth. They are sick of the phones and jewelry and ugly purses and skin-tight clothes and too much cleavage all the time. They are sick of the quacking voices and constant drone of advice on how to be a man in the new world.” He concludes by urging women to stop these perceived artificial enhancements.
