ARIANA blows the 45 candles on her chocolate-flavoured birthday cake. Her birthday wish is to look younger as her dressing mirror has been showing a wrinkled her. And to make her wish come true, the socialite’s present to herself is a face-lift.

These women are above 45 years, moneyed, and are facing the inevitable effects of ageing.
