I’ve admired specific traits in certain celebrities, but I’ve never wanted to look just like that person. I get frustrated with some parts of my body (usually my skin-I’m very acne prone even at age 31 and no dermatologist has ever been able to help) but I can’t imagine having pastic surgery.

Most of the super-skinny actors and actresses lead terribly unhealthy lifestyles to get that way. I have a friend who is a cinematographer in LA, and he shakes his head at the rampant eating disorders. I’d rather be healthy and look like myself than copy someone who lives on coffee and cigarettes.

And no, I’ve never purchased anything because a celeb endorsed it. They get paid for doing it, so why would you trust them?

This is so true. It amazes me how other people wants to be and look like someone else, instead of recognizing that they will never be that person, no matter how hard they try! So world, STOP IT!

Great post, the media has us brainwashed on what is attractive. When you see celebrities without make-up and airbrushed photos they look like everybody else.

I always thought it was strange when you watch people on TV getting getting plastic surgery, saying “I want Angelina’s lips and Julia Robert’s eyes…”

My answer to your questions: NO!

Most of those people looks absolutely terrible in real life! They look fake and sick. Even Madonna is starting to look ridiculous as she tries to appear like a 30 year old when she is 50.
