We’re moving right along with my recounting of the best plastic surgery blogs of 2010. If this seems like an act of vanity to you, well…you may be right. But then again, I am writing about plastic surgery, and it doesn’t get any more vain than cutting open your body to change the way you look in the hopes that you’ll finally feel comfortable in your own skin.
Part 2 of this “Best of 2010” series will cover a couple of posts which I really liked for various reasons, but don’t quite measure up to the gems that will be revealed in Part 3 and Part 4. However, all of today’s posts are definitely worth giving a read if you haven’t already done so.
Plastic Surgery Junkie Injects Cooking Oil into Her Face
Yes, this is vile and disgusting. Make sure you haven’t recently eaten (or don’t plan to eat soon) before viewing the hideous photo of this woman’s monstrous face (it’s near the bottom of the blog post). When I say monstrous, I’m being kind. She looks like a freak out of a B-rated zombie movie.
Yes, sadly a middle aged Korean woman just couldn’t quite conquer her plastic surgery addiction in time. After nearly 20 years of frantically seeking out every plastic surgery procedure under the sun, the surgeons in Japan and Korea finally cut her off. Her parents, who no longer recognized her, sent her to therapy for an intervention. Unfortunately, therapy didn’t do the trick, and there aren’t too many 12 step programs for plastic surgery addicts.
Eventually, she was forced to take matters into her own hands. Without any access to the genuine article, she decided to try her luck with cooking oil. Trust me when I say that shooting cooking oil into your face is something that you should never, ever try – no matter how desperate you get. If you need to be talked off the ledge, just read the full post, which contains quite a few entertaining analogies to back-alley crack junkies.
Boobquake
With a name like Boobquake, how can I not put this blog in the “Best Of” series? If you have not heard about the Boobquake, then I really must ask where you were all spring. This event even garnered coverage on the Colbert Report.
An Iranian cleric boldly made the asinine statement that “Many women who do not dress modestly…lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.” That’s right, according to this nut job, there is a direct correlation between showing lots of cleavage and an increase in earthquakes. And you wonder why I say religion is the root of all evil.
A college student at Purdue University heard this statement and decided to test the Iranian cleric’s theory scientifically. She created an event called Boobquake which encouraged women to dress immodestly on the same day to see if it would inspire the wrath of God. Initially, this was meant to be a joke, but it spread like wildfire over Facebook, and on the big day, more than 200,000 women across the world showed a little extra cleavage.
The Boobquake post describes the results of this science experiment in greater detail, and of course contains my gratuitous commentary on the situation. I must say, I instantly became a fan of Boobquake founder Jennifer McCreight. I think she’d make an excellent guest blogger for the Cosmetic Surgery Directory Blog, should I ever need a fill-in for a week or two.
Check back next week as we inch ever closer to revealing the absolute best blogs of 2010. It only gets better from here.
