Yay or Nay: Heidi Montag’s 2nd Plastic Surgery

Phyllis — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:14:49 +0000

Earlier this week, Heidi Montag from The Hills stirred up quite a buzz with her new face and body on the cover of People magazine. The plastic surgery addict confessed she underwent ten procedures – buttocks augmentation, boob job touch-up, nose job touch-up, chin reduction, mini brow lift, Botox, fat injections in her cheeks and lips, pinning back of her ears, liposuction in her neck, waist and thighs – in one day in order to become “the best me”.

Heidi prior to her second surgery and now

Personally, I think Heidi looked a lot better before. There’s something off about her new nose and that brow lift kind of creeps me out. But the more important issue here is the message behind all this. Openly advocating plastic surgery is NOT cool! Everyone is beautiful in their own ways and we should all learn to embrace what we are born with. Not to mention, we all know beauty is not skin deep. Below is a quote from Audrey Hepburn that I really like:

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
And redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
You will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

So what is your take on Heidi’s new look or just plastic surgery in general? Spill!

Yay Or Nay: Jennifer Lopez In Dusty Blue Outfit And Makeup At Dolphins Game

Earlier today, Jennifer Lopez took things to the extreme by wearing a shirt, pants, shoes AND smoky eye makeup – all in the same dusty blue color – at the Miami Dolphins game.

I personally like the idea of matching your makeup with your outfit (plus her makeup here looks fantastic!) but pairing it with clothes and shoes in the exact same shade? That’s way too much for me! She would have looked *so* much better if she had kept the shirt and worn pants and shoes in a different color. What do you guys think?

Yay Or Nay: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Mole Removal

Earlier this week, actress Sarah Jessica Parker ‘fessed up to David Letterman on the Late Night Show that she regrets having her “signature” mole removed.

While moles do add character to a face, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal in SJP’s case. But if Cindy Crawford would have hers removed, I would definitely object.

Before and After

So what do you ladies think? Would you ever have your beauty mark removed?
