		<description>If this &quot;improvement&quot; is real - he might drop down and bang out 20 push-ups. My guess however is that he&#039;s finally gotten smart enough to visit a good cosmetic surgeon and with some judicious use of facial fillers augmenting the areas where he has lost all facial fat and fullness, we&#039;ll find a much more youthful appearing Mr. Jobs speaking to us from the podium at this upcoming event.



 Fully 2/3rd of the male CEO&#039;s in this country have had a &quot;little work&quot; done.  Jobs probably would have done so by this time, too,  had he not been pre-occupied with saving his life from a nasty type of cancer. He went through a grizzly surgery (which of course the company minimized) and we saw the after effects on his face last time round. He is in good physical shape, but the loss of the fat pads in the face - which in his case were exacerbated badly by his illness and recovery, combined with the normal aging process that men go through as they pass that big 50 and move onward toward 60 - really showed on Steve.



Also, it may be time to say adios to his &quot;signature&quot; black sweater and jeans and put on some well tailored slacks and a sweater that has a bit more bulk, both of which would tend to a.) make him look more &#039;age appropriate&#039; and b.) give the illusion of a little more meat on his bones as well.



Any Beverly Hills Matron knows there&#039;s a time to hang up the Versace&#039; short skirts and all-but-a-hooker plunging necklines and opt for something as fashionable but more classically elegant.  Mr. Jobs is in need of the same fashion advice along with the requisite bits of surgery to maintain the youthful looks.



Hell, once CEO we know well spent over $50k on a facelift, some lipo, and of course works out three times a week with a private trainer and has a full time nutritionist preparing every morsel that he ingests. The result is that he facially looks 35, his body looks like a worked out, buffed-but-not-to-excess 40, and then he let his dark hair go natural and now it&#039;s about 50% silver.  The stark silver/white temples and sparkling white hair mingled with his once brunette locks, coupled with the face and body of a man nearly 30 years his junior give the appearance of robust good heath, and yet he doesn&#039;t appear at all conscious of his age or appearance in the slightest, due to the fact that he doesn&#039;t color his hair to cover the gray.  He also dumped the Brioni suits that were his &#039;trademark&#039; for decades and now can be seen in his office most days in very high end Armani sportswear. When he needs to be in a meeting where his &#039;youthful&#039; image is important, he chooses not power suits, but again, well cut and tailored Armani and Brioni Sport combos.  Still the boss, but a much younger and more aware version of &#039;the boss&#039;.  This guy has run his company in a very competitive field for nearly 24 years now and looks better than he did the day he was promoted to President all those decades back!  But every few months he visits his doc who renews and refreshes the botox and restalyne to make sure there are no tell-tale wrinkles or lines and that the face is as full as a twenty-five year old man&#039;s would be.  Considering he&#039;s making a few million per year plus his stock options which would make anyone wealthy - his investment in protecting his position was a sound one. Very damned sound indeed.</description>

		<description>Are you kidding?!  He already was wearing a &quot;fat suit&quot; the last time he appeared on stage.



(joking)



What happened to the saying that you can never be too thin or too rich?   And yet the media must think that Steve has already achieved both and now they&#039;re running it into the ground every chance they get.</description>
