If you’ve been anywhere near the Internet over the past few days, there’s no doubt you will have heard of Heidi Montag’s extensive 10-procedures-in-a-day plastic surgery extravaganza.
Revealing her “new” body on the cover of People Magazine under the headline “Addicted to Plastic Surgery”, Heidi stands proudly in a bikini, seemingly unaware that she looks like the disturbing combination of Joan Rivers and Ru Paul.
Or maybe she is aware, but simply can’t stop. Who knows.
Montag does admit that she is “beyond obsessed” with becoming “the best me” – but the "best" version of herself obviously comes with cutting open her body for a hefty price, rather than just going to India or backpacking through Europe like most people.
Beyond all the feminist and psychological reasons for, um, not slicing open and modifying the appearance of your body, I really wonder why Heidi’s stupid husband Spencer Pratt doesn’t see why this is so horrifying. Or why her family didn’t immediately send her to the psychiatric ward the minute the found out what she did to herself.
This week I wrote about My New Pink Button, the pink dye for your labia, and mentioned how normal plastic surgery has become for women, but while it is obviously "normal" in our society for women to get “a little something here and there” to keep themselves looking "young", it’s still not normal.
Recently I’ve noticed how rare it is to see a woman in her late 40s or even 30s that actually looks like she’s her age. And I mean this is in the best way possible. If you’re 50 and you don’t have any wrinkles on your face, you look like a freak. Madonna is a FREAK. Who actually thinks she looks good?
The same can be said for Meg Ryan and even younger women like Trinny Woodall who are poster girls for the Trout Pout. There are so many women who I see both on TV and in real life that for some reason think that by having lip injections and Botox and face lifts that they some how look younger – but instead they end up looking like a psycho that is obsessed with trying to look young.
You don’t look young, you look like you’ve had work done. A lot of it.
What Heidi Montag has done to her face and body just reminds me of how I feel when I see Jennifer Grey, but worse. This past Christmas I was forced to watch The Road To Christmas on Lifetime, and Jennifer Grey played the main character. However, I didn’t even know it was her until one of my family members was all, “OH my GOD that’s BABY!”
Who is going to recognize Heidi Montag now? Without Spencer Pratt hanging off her arm, will anyone even notice it’s her? She just looks like a 23-year-old stuck in the body of some 40-year-old woman who’s had too much work done. It’s depressing and beyond disturbing.
Heidi Montag was beautiful before her initial breast implants and nose job. Why no one questioned Heidi’s psychological state when got her first surgeries at such a young age (or when she married Mr Pratt) I’m not sure. But it’s only going to get worse. She’s already admitted obsession and that she would love for her boobs to get even bigger. (Mind you, she's currently a tripe D cup.)
Heidi is going to further ruin her face and body, and doesn't seem to have anyone around her who cares enough to tell her to stop. But maybe, at this point, Heidi's beyond stopping.
