Fixed Up Faces

I’m watching Famous Faces. Its the first time I’ve seen it but I’m pretty sure after only ten minutes I’ve worked out the premise. They get people who want plastic surgery to look like their favourite celebrity and follow their journey through their transformations. MTV claims that the contestants(?) already want it and they just document the whole thing.

I’m pretty shocked by this girl who wants to look like Carmen Electra. She is absolutely beautiful but she’s getting a nose job, breast implants, lip injections and she has the tiniest love handles so the doctor agreed to get a tiny bit of fat out of her sides with liposuction. I can’t believe this chick that is already so hot, is absolutely fucked with her body image and hates herself so much. She says her last boyfriend was really fucked up and ruined her self esteem, made her feel like she was the lowest and that since then she has always struggled to love herself.

So to try and hook the new guy in her life, who will sleep with her but not commit to her, she is getting breast implants to make herself more attractive to him. If thats not unhealthy I don’t know what is. And I’m telling you, this chick is stunning. A little bit fake looking, because she dresses herself and does hair and makeup to be Carmen Electra, but shes beautiful in a wholesome blonde American girl next door kinda way. Just watching her go through so much pain, both on the inside and outside with recovery, is horrible.

As far as I can tell, just after seeing the shorts for next weeks episode, all of these are about girls trying to get on the cover of Maxim. It really upsets me that for these girls to feel good about themselves, they morph themselves into breast implanted, fake nail wearing, hair extensioned promo girls. It reflects so much about society, when so many women are feeling the pressure to conform into this male pleasing image, and even carve into their bodies to make sure they have the sufficient breasts, lips or even vagina.

Anyway, I don’t have much to add. I just thought it was really sad these women thought they had to go through this to make themselves happy, when it was obvious that the problem lies within their egos and their own lack of self worth fueled by the impossible standards of beauty that magazines like Maxim create.

Mayor Moloney Throws A Bone To The Uglies

While having a bit of a squiz around I noticed that a lot of Aussie blogs are buzzing with disdain from the comments of the Mayor of Mt. Isa, John Moloney, on the state of the woman drought in his town. He says:

“May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa,

“Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness.

“Often those who are beauty-disadvantaged are unhappy with their lot.

“Some, in other places in Australia, need to proceed to Mount Isa where happiness awaits.

“And, really, beauty is only skin deep. Isn’t there a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that evolves into a beautiful swan?”

Really, I don’t know what they’re all complaining about. What a splendid idea! We’re killing two birds with one stone really aren’t we? First of all we fix the poor male miners woman drought AND get rid of all the uglies! I mean those women probably wouldn’t have had the chance to get married before, this is an excellent opportunity for them. Any girl would look good compared to an eternity of solitude, wouldn’t she? We can’t have those poor men out there without any female interaction, we need to ship some chicks in there for them to prey on.

Hmm, it would be interesting to see what kind of screening process they use to find their ugly women. What if she were fat, but had a pretty face? And just how ugly do you have to be? What if you were slightly attractive, would you be barred from the shipment?

And he certainly made a great point with that smiles on their faces comment, I mean imagine that, an unattractive woman finding happiness! Who would have thought? Obviously she didn’t receive the memo that unless men find her worthy of a look up and down she must be miserable.

Beauty truly is skin deep isn’t it? I’m glad we’ve had such a gem of a man finally assure us that too, here we are getting our degrees and expanding our minds and so forth, and its such a relief to find out all our time and effort has not gone to waste. Although, he didn’t exactly mention the worth of our personalities. But, who cares! He doesn’t mind if we’re ugly!

Fuck, what am I doing wasting my time hanging around here? I’m off to pack. Come on ladies, lets go do our female duty and supply the world with more nuclear families! Thank god some men in the world are willing to look past the ugly for a bit of ass.
