‘Fallen Princesses’ Series Reveals The Dangers Of Princess Culture

âFallen Princessesâ Series Reveals The Dangers Of Princess Culture

Princess culture is everywhere nowadays. For every heroine aimed squarely at girls like Katniss Everdeen, there are at least 20 who don’t have any interests outside of snagging a boyfriend and living happily ever after. But given that the majority of Disney princesses don’t aspire to function as anything other than romantic interests, one often wonders what that happily ever after would actually look like for figures like Belle, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty who don’t really do anything besides fall in love and be pretty.

Such was the quandary for artist Dina Goldstein who decided to interpret just what happened at the end of those storybooks — and in modern times. More »

Jennifer Aniston Admits To Fillers and Botox; Has Surprisingly Healthy Attitude Towards Beauty

Jennifer Aniston Admits To Fillers and Botox; Has Surprisingly Healthy Attitude Towards Beauty

Botox scares the crap out of me, but I always feel somewhat refreshed when a celebrity who looks supernaturally good for her age admits that she’s gone there. Which is why I think it’s pretty great that Jennifer Aniston admitted to having had injectable fillers, botox and spray tan, as well as getting her sunspots “zapped” off in her recent interview with InStyle. Because if she can admit that she doesn’t do it without the help of a good dermatologist (at the very least), then at least we’re all getting a little more honest about what it really takes to look like the “sexiest woman in the world.” More »

CEO Nip/Tuck: Plastic Surgery Helps Me Keep My Executive Suite

“I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I’d look like without plastic surgery.” Joan Rivers

Recently a story was featured on Oprah.com about a female CEO who confessed she had had 10 plastic surgery procedures. The woman, who works in the investment banking industry, told the interviewer plastic surgery directly related to her career success:

“My career instantly shifted into a higher gear. I was suddenly being courted by senior partners, included in meetings with the CEOs and CFOs of current and prospective clients. I thought, “Wait a minute—I’m the same person I was before the surgeries.” But now I looked like a bombshell in addition to being really good at my work, and it definitely opened up more opportunities. That’s when I began to think of the surgeries as an asset and an investment.” More »

Fix-A-Flat Booty: Woman Has Cement, Tire Sealant Injected Into Buttocks

Fix-A-Flat Booty: Woman Has Cement, Tire Sealant Injected Into Buttocks

This morning, another example of the insane lengths some women will go to in the quest for a better body: A woman in Florida had “Fix-a-Flat” tire sealant, cement and mineral oil injected into her buttocks, in an attempt to get that coveted Kim Kardashian booty on the cheap.

The 30-year-old Florida woman, whose name is being withheld, was severely injured, after fake plastic surgeon Oneal Ron Morris injected her with the fix-a-flat and cement concoction, then sealed things up with Super Glue, in May 2010. The toxic materials spread through her body and nearly killed her, the Miami Herald reports. The woman went to three different hospitals about her “pneumonia-like symptoms” and the “large, infected welts on her backside” before admitting to doctors what she’d had done.

Plastic surgery has been a bit of a popular topic around the office today, probably having something to do with Courtney Stodden, who hit the beach this weekend to prove once and for all that she probably had plastic surgery*. Anyway, cosmetic procedures on our simple brains, we decided to ask a bunch of ladies what kind of plastic surgery they’d get. Don’t be fooled by the post’s title, though, as plenty of them expressed fear of or disdain for “the knife.” More »

Tara Reid Would Like You To Know Her Stomach Looks Better Now

For a long time, Tara Reid was known for two things: getting shitfaced in public and being the victim of some truly unforgiving plastic surgery. Anyway, a Wenn photographer caught the former actress outside her hotel in London last week and–since she is in the business of desperately clinging to whatever modicon of notoriety she can–she held up her hoodie to give the world an update.

Lindsay Lohan, NEXT Model Manageement Both Deny Ali Has Ever Had Plastic Surgery [UPDATED]

This week, images of Ali Lohan hit the internet and caused a stir. This was odd because normally, no one pays attention to Ali Lohan. They barely pay attention to her sister anymore, for that matter. Anyway, they caused a stir because Ali looks like a completely different human: plasticine skin, hyper-sculpted chin, swollen lips and cheekbones that look like they came out of a Jell-O mold.
