I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty…
The price of celebrity (for some stars, at least) is no more evident than on the wickedly intriguing website Awful Plastic Surgery (APS). For some, it’s good. For others it’s bad. And for many it’s just plain ugly…not to mention unnecessary.
I’m certainly not one to say that I would never consider a little Nip/Tuck action (especially if my surgeons looked anything like studs Julian McMahon or Dylan Walsh of the television series) but there’s no way in hell that I’d become addicted to it in the seemingly desperate—not to mention pathetic, tragic, etc…–way some actresses and actors do without blinking an eye; something that becomes a real possibility after one too many face lifts, I imagine.
APS is like a gallery of ghouls, or the equivalent of a circus freak show that from time to time will have you shaking your head in disbelief, laughing, cringing, and thanking god that you haven’t the cents to jump on the bandwagon–or in this case operating table—but instead have the sense to know better.
But enough of the sermon from yours truly already. Who can resist the temptation of checking out at least one—if not all—of the following categories offered on APS: Bad Boob Jobs, Brow Lifts, Cheekbone Implants, Collagen in Lips, Face Lifts, Hair Transplants, Nose Jobs, Before & After, Oops I Messed Up My Face, Scary Celebrities, They Need Lipo, They Need More Plastic Surgery, and They Need Plastic Surgery Really Bad. There’s also the uplifting (so to speak) Good Plastic Surgery category which proves that at least some of the surgeons to the stars actually take pride in their work.
The site goes as far back as September 2003 and includes not only the usual suspects of scary scalpel syndrome (Michael Jackson, Bruce Jenner, Farrah Fawcett) but also some that may (or may not) surprise you.
Visitors to the site should be warned though before taking a peak at any photos involving Jocelyn Wildenstein, the notorious Cat Lady, and her all ages fright fest face that looks like something the cat dragged in…from another planet.
Cheers!
