OK, enough of the serious stuff (at least for a few minutes). I confess I’m not above having a giggle at the sheer mindboggling idiocy of human vanity. We humans do like to puff ourselves up, preening ourselves and strutting around like peacocks. Even I’ve been known to do it. It’s called my workout. In my defense, however, I have done away with the short shorts that I wore with pride as a younger man (just quietly).
Plastic surgery is probably the ultimate expression of vanity. I almost put a picture of Michael (you know which one) at the top of this post, but felt so bad about the image I found I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I used a more flattering example - Kylie Minigue. Still, you probably saw the pictures of twins Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, who attended the Cannes film festival recently. I confess I’d never heard of these guys till yesterday, but apparently they had a hit sci-fi show back in the 80s. Looks like these guys watched a few too many episodes of their own show, as they appear to have morphed into ETs themselves, courtesy of the surgeon’s knife.
This is what they looked like when they were heartthrobs in the 80s.
And this is the magical transformation.
