The really sad part is, most (if not all) of these hideous women probably think they look good - they can't see themselves the way we see them. Since the deterioration of their looks happened little by little, over many years and many procedures, they became used to the ever-changing reflection in the mirror, and see it as perfectly normal. Additionally, they may feel all the criticism about their looks is merely the result of people being overly picky or even jealous. I mean, really, if you've got millions of dollars, and you know you look hideous, why on earth would you ever bother stepping out of your house again? Just live as a hermit until you die...you can afford to.

So many women around L.A. are starting to look just like the...errr...lady...in the third picture. Stretched eyes, plumped cheeks, pumped out (yet flat-looking) lips, etc... To be fair, I have seen a few old men who've gone too far and are hideous.

Bring back the 80's!!

I think Joan Rivers and Angelyne are the scariest-looking people on the planet. They look beyond not looking human. Mannequins are prettier and more life-like than they are.




I - I have never beheld anything so indescribably bizarre in my life. That has GOT to be a draq queen-


Nope. She's a real, "normal" woman who's been promoting herself on Hollywood billboards since the 80's, I think. Even back when she looked normal, I still didn't think she was very attractive, so the surgeries only compounded her ugliness.

ANGELYNE is a true "legend" in the Hollywood/Southern California area, in a community full of legends, "legendary" or otherwise.

Although some sources credit her age as nearly 50, there are others I've read who go all the way to 70. Who knows? She never speaks of it.

You could never imagine that good ole Manderley has ANY connection to Angelyne in any way, but my partner and I have a good friend who knows Angelyne very well, but who is also quite loathe to reveal any private information about her. Although I am very curious, I respect that kind of friendship.

In any case, each year we have an annual holiday party for our friends and a few filmmusic acquaintances, and several years ago when our friend came, she told us that she had invited Angelyne to come along with her to the party.

Angelyne declined at the last minute, apparently unsure about how she would be received among strangers. That's too bad, as I'm sure she would have been welcomed generously. Perhaps another year.

She DID send an autographed Angelyne magazine and Angelyne T-shirts for both of us!

I'm relieved. It was bad enough to have to get hit by a bus and miss your party, but if I learned that I'd also missed a chance to schmooze with Angelyne -- well, that would have been the last straw!

I wonder if Angelyne was the woman I once heard about, a show business wannabe whose wealthy husband tried to make her famous out of thin air, with billboards and other ads.

Maybe there's been more than one such case over the years.

There's also a movement within the art community of artists commenting on this trend:



Orlan decided to use plastic surgery as her medium of choice. Since 1990, she has undergone a series of choreographed "performances" during which her face is surgically morphed through the use of plastic surgery. Her intention is not to become "beautiful" but rather to suggest that the "objective ( beauty) is unattainable and the process horrifying." This is, however, not the only issue or intent surrounding this controversial body of work, which is highly steeped in feminist and psychoanalytic theory, as well as (and in comparison to) art history. Orlan defines her work as "Carnal Art," which she explains as "a self-portrait in the classical sense, yet realized through the technology of our time."

With Melissa Rivers, if you can believe it.

Where's that Orlan paragraph come from? If it's for real, it's the sickest "artist" double-talk -- of which the art world proudly boasts an already excessive amount -- since Chris Burden had himself shot by a rifle in one of his "pieces."

In fact, to wound or mutilate yourself in the name of "art" I consider an even greater degree of sickness than that exhibited by people like Miss Rivers or "The Bride of Wildenstein" -- at least Rivers et al are doing it for misguided personal reasons, they're not making pretentious claims to creating objets d'art. And unlike the poor people who are in denial about what they're doing to themselves, (not unlike victims of Anorexia), these "artists" should know better.
