Here's what I don't understand. A-list
stars have stylists, make-up artists, hair dressers, and god knows what else,
whose sole purpose is to make said stars look as attractive as possible. Why then,
do these advisors wimp out when it comes to telling them the truth about their
plastic surgery?
Did no one think to tell Mickey Rourke that
his rugged good looks didn't need a lift or three? I mean, look at him. He
looks like he's wearing a mask.
Ditto Kenny Rogers, who is almost
unrecognizable after his 'work.' He, at least, has the grace to voice his
displeasure at the results. Unfortunately, it turned a decent looking chap into
another mask-like weirdo.
I get why the stars sometimes end up
wearing fashion disasters. We all take a few risks and let others persuade us of
something if we're on the fence; they're no different. And anyway, it's not permanent if they make
the odd mistake. I also get how fake, fickle and insecure the Hollywood scene
is, so if a top stylist tells you the cheap-looking fake fur Speedo worn over
woolly tights is THE look for spring, you can be forgiven for giving it a
whirl.
But who exactly, benefits from bad plastic
surgery? Plastic surgeons have a
conflict of interests in that they want to make as much money as possible yet
should also be serving their clients' best interests. Even if they went for the
money alone however, how many of them want their clients to be a laughing
stock? Hardly a good advertisement for their services really.
So please all you advisors to the stars -
get yourselves a backbone and save them from themselves.
