 Posted: 03/12/04 - 17:32 Post subject: Extreme Makeover
It's a fascinating show on some bizarre level. But isn't it kinda scary just how incredibly absolutely convinced some of these people are that a change in appearance is the most pivitol moment in their life? That somehow now they've turned into what it'll take to be successful or loveable by the people around them?
Kind of a sad commentary from a sociological perspective, no?

That plastic surgeon dude scares me.
Naw, he ain't had any work done. Totally natural looking... Right! Dude is just one bad eyebrow waxing away from looking like Joan Rivers.

There is one person here that I would nominate for it, and not to have anything altered, per se.
I want her too see what a
Post 70's hair cut
A little makeup
and a wardrobe from this decade will do.
She's in a lot of pain right now, and they don't know why, so her appearance has just hit the skids. It never was that good, but she did wear makeup when she met with clients and stuff.

I saw part of this the other night. I expect if he sneezed really hard, he might blow his face off.

Did ya notice the blood vessel that goes vertical up the middle of his forehead? That's what scares me. One more facelift and he'll cut off circulation to his scalp!

This is what I think too. Very sad. Some are better than others but there are so many that think their entire lives are going to improve just because they are getting new chin/tummy/brow line/etc. Scarier are some of the ones who they follow up with and they have cut all these people out of their lives because of a new attitude they've adopted with their new nose, teeth and (no doubt) boobs. Its a very very warped yet fascinating show.

I've seen it once and it both scared and disgusted me. 2 (still in their teens) girls went in to have boob jobs and whilst they were there the good dr. talked one of them into some kind of liposuction. This girl was slightly chubby, nothing getting up off her butt wouldn't get rid of. They weren't bad looking girls either but all they could say was: " Maybe when we get boobs we can find a boyfriend."   And what I really want to know is: What kind of sick parent would pay for this?
