I was watching TV last night and I stumbled on a show called, "I want a famous face" I am sure you have heard of it. It is an MTV series the documents people ridiculous obsessions with famous people's looks.
What has this world come to? Seriously? The episode last night was especially disturbing. A 26 year single, divorced mother of two children, wanted to look like Jennifer Aniston. She was very pretty as is, but she said "since my kids were born I haven't been able to wear cute things, I have been ugly." It sounded as though she resented her kids for making her have stretch marks and gaining some weight. This woman's appearance became the center of her life. The show was a half hour long and it may have showed her kids (about 4 and 2 years old) for 5 seconds. She had a boyfriend that thought she looked fine, all her friends thought she was very pretty, but she could not please her toughest critic, herself. People like that could have all the plastic surgery in the world and they will not be happy because they did not take care of the psychological part of it. Self image has almost nothing to do with looks, it has to do with confidence and self esteem. She should be able to take a look at her beautiful kids and loving boyfriend and say, "It doesn't matter how I look because I have a beautiful family". Granted, everyone wants to look nice, but looks are all relative. This was an above average looking woman, very cute, yet she thought she was ugly. Her problem is not her looks.
The surgery cost her $23,500. Are you trying to tell me she couldn't use that money to better her kid's lives at all? She couldn't use that money to see a psychiatrist? I truly feel that people like this are mentally ill. They may not have dementia or psychosis but they are suffering from severely distorted self image. I hope this woman and others like her find help that doesn't involve a knife and bandages.

I saw some of that too. I had a friend send me a forward today with Jenniefer Aniston and Courtney and David with their new baby. I guess Jen had sent this to someone and well we all know how that goes. SO I emailed her back and asked her why she sent me this. I told her that I don't know these people on a personal level so I don't need to see this. My point being...people are so obsessive with others, that they can't focus on themselves. 23,000 is a buttload of money. She must have come out nicely from the divorce.
I hear you dan. these peopel are nuts. I like movies and movie stars as much as the next guy, but come on, I don't want to look like them.
Q
That show is sick- I have never watched it... You are so right about her having a self image problem and that the money should have went towards her children instead. What a selfish b*tch.
This post really got to me. This show made me sick though whole time I was watching it, and not how MTV wanted it to make me sick. it made me sick that there are people out there that are so self obsorbed and selfish that they would put their looks before their children or their physical health. I hope people don't watch these shows and think that is normal, or think that is what normal should be.
