Stopping the hands of time

You weren't using those veins anyway, were you?

Last summer, as you no doubt do not recall, both Madonna and Angelina Jolie were criticized for having veiny hands. A concerned plastic surgeon explained to the Daily Mail that wrinkled, veiny mitts are a hallmark of the aging process, noting that babies, by contrast, "have podgy hands." Well, it was only a matter of time: Now, for 1,300 pounds (about $2,600) you can have a doctor reel those bulgy veins right on out. Yep. I'm pretty sure Jezebel put it best: "Shrimp should be de-veined. Not hands."
