Before and After

Posted on | April 30, 2004 | 2 Comments

I regularly get Weird News from ArcaMax, and yesterday had a fun little blurb on Awful Plastic Surgery

WHY WE LIKE IT: I came to terms a long time ago with the fact that I will never be mistaken for a Hollywood starlet. Even with a skilled surgeon, a dedicated personal trainer, a celebrity stylist and all the money on the planet, I will never look like Meg Ryan. But that’s OK because, as AwfulPlasticSurgery.com helpfully points out, even Meg Ryan doesn’t look like Meg Ryan any more. And while I may never have her fame, fortune or memories of passionate nights spent in the arms of Russell Crowe, I also don’t have “trout lips.” It may be small consolation, but with swimsuit season looming, I’ll take whatever self-esteem boosters I can find.
Maybe it’s petty and mean-spirited, but I don’t care. The way I look at it, I spent $8 and two hours of my life sitting through “In the Cut.” Meg and her trout lips owe me.

Can’t say I’d want the memories of Russell Crowe (I would much prefer Dennis Quaid) but I think this writer got snarky just right.
The site is fun, but not well organized and no categories to follow so you can’t just look at bad noses, say, or everything Sarah Jessica Parker had done.

    This is so funny – – the other day me and one of my girlfriends were talking and ended up on the topic of plastic surgery so we went to that site and clicked through the bad noses, boobs and everything else – – and you’re right it is a fun site and definitely worth visiting!
