This ticks me off.
I hate hollywood. The "stars" who think they're royalty, the idiots who give them reason to think so. I mean, they're just human with a super high paying job. So what? We don't have royalty in the US. So get up on over yourself, already.
But here's what really gets me.
"Star" goes off, gets a nose job, comes back, and denies it every happened, despite the fact that you can TELL looking at side by side pictures it happened.
Another famous person goes off and gets a boob job, but, again, denies it happened, despite the fact that, boobs DECREASE with the downward shift in weight they almost invariably take at the same time, not go two sizes up. And yet, they deny it.
It's the ultimate in gaslighting. Lying to a whole nation about what we can plainly see with our own two eyes.
No wonder men (and women, I should say) do it: they're taught it's okay from prominent societal figures. These celebrities do it, so it must be okay for them to do it.
How have we gone to a place in society where lying is so openly accepted?
Uggh. I hate certain things about our society, and actor/actress adoration is one of them. How can people adore someone who makes part of their living by LYING to them? Why can't I go to look at the news, without seeing the latest "______ (insert celebrity name here) is a Drug Addict!" Head line or "(insert person no one cares about here) is a plastic surgery addict" or "____ had a boob job!" Who the fu.ck cares?
And not only that, but why these poor girls feel the need to do this to themselves is beyond me (well, not really. Porn influence, much?). It seems like 95% of the time, plastic surgery changes people into something, while more *perfect* than before, fake because they are cut into this cookie cutter mold, and they all seem to start looking alike anymore. Sort of like the '80s nosejob. Every single person who got a nosejob in the 80s seems to look the same. It takes away their indiviuality, and that which made you think, to begin with, that they were beautiful. Why can't they understand that their flaws are part of what makes them so gorgeous, not that they are beautiful in spite of them, but that they are part of the whole?
Okay. /rant off
