In Your Face !!!

I am a huge fan of any reality show that has to do with the infamous Kardashians.  As much as I think these girls take things too far, I continue to find myself tuning in each week (and my guilty pleasure – watching re-runs over and over), simply to watch these beautiful ladies. Within the past few weeks I started realizing there was something different about Kim Kardashian. Did she get her breasts done? Negative. Did she get lipo? Negative. So I asked myself “what is different about her?” I could not put my finger on the answer! My fiancé continued to tell me she had work done, yet I could not see where this work was done. It was time for Google. Google can answer any question that your mind poses and this is a true story! I did my research and found these:

AH HA !! I said to myself..there we go! Her eyes: Kim used to have these gorgeous large eyes which continuously reminded me of Jasmine from Aladdin, but now she appears to have a very tight look with smaller chinky eyes.  The nose – there are no words to describe it. I must add, it is very cute, but it is also totally different than what she was born with. I then ask myself “why?” Kim, you were beautiful before.. you were pretty much perfect in my eyes, what made you do such a thing? Based on everything I have witnessed through T.V., Kim clearly has an issue with turning 30. She made it very clear she is getting old and appears to fear this aging. I guess she went ahead with plastic surgery to make her appear more youthful? I’m not sure what her goal was. She is still gorgeous, but she does appear a bit… tight? Yay or Nay? Where are the fine lines and wrinkles? Non existent!

Okay, so I thought I moved on from the whole plastic surgery issue, but then suddenly reality (literally) hit me again. Last night was the premiere of the new season of The OC Housewives. Everything appeared to be fine, but then the after show came on. I was frightened. Tamra ! Her face is something similar to that of a Good Year tire! Her forehead is screaming "hey look at me", her eyebrows clearly do not move, and those lips... well last night they appeared to be worse, and did she get braces? I understand the concept of wanting to keep up with your looks, but it is VERY clear that excessive plastic surgery (specifically Botox) becomes VERY noticeable and we will talk about you and laugh at you.

Clearly plastic surgery (excessive use/abuse), has something to do with a mental disorder. Maybe something in the area of Body dysmorphic disorder?

According to MayoClinic.com, BDD can be described as the following:

Body dysmorphic disorder is a type of chronic mental illness in which you can't stop thinking about a flaw with your appearance — a flaw that is either minor or imagined. But to you, your appearance seems so shameful that you don't want to be seen by anyone. Body dysmorphic disorder has sometimes been called "imagined ugliness." When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely obsess over your appearance and body image, often for many hours a day. You may seek out numerous cosmetic procedures to try to "fix" your perceived flaws, but never will be satisfied. Body dysmorphic disorder is also known as dysmorphophobia, the fear of having a deformity.

I believe BDD is for those insane housewives you may run into at the gym during your morning Yoga/Pilates, or at the nail salon during a manicure. Those that have the super tight face with no expression what so ever. You cannot determine what they are thinking or feeling, kind of like a serial killer with a personality disorder. They have lips that take over the bottom half of the face, and you clearly know they have done several procedures back to back. How can these individuals not see that something is wrong? They do not realize they have had enough. Hey! I know someone like that..Heidi Montag.
