Most of them are still pretty ugly! Too much makeup is always a giveaway to what's underneath!

I think they look terrific and what is so very compelling is how much energy and confidence seems to fill their faces! Andy dude, these are women (read: grown-ups), seems to me you would not know a good looking woman if she hit ya right on top of the head.

it is never bad to become a beauty
if it grows older, since it thinks so also by whom, however when young, the one as it is will be a beauty

whoa..i am amazed...especially the second from last..i think thats the best one.

I think in the post
"been changed drastically in terms of their sexuality"

would read better as
"been changed drastically in terms of their appeal" or appearance, you don't have to bold it either. As much as I'd like to see a gender reassingment operation I don't think broadcast TV is quite ready for that. :P



One of the biggest things about this show I wonder about is the physcological factor. Do these women not see them selves as worthy? Do they really believe that they are better with saline in their chests and so fourth and so on? Is this giving the impression to more people that prefection is only one surgery away?

Yes in all objective critisizm one could say that the after shots look better than the before shots and sometimes there is nothig wrong with changing a little here and there, but when we physically augment our bodies are we loosing somemthing?

Oh my god, that's amazing! As a media designer I can truly understand that it can't be quite easy.

muy buenas los trabajos, yo soy Diseñador grafico de Chile

It's a shame. These women have raped by media. :(
Why isn't enough to be a human? Why everybody wants to be "perfect"? Why we let to tell us who and what is perfect?

2 things... and this is an illusion how?
and
they needed help. BAD and the poor things still didnt get it. poor things

i totaly agree w/ t2

TOTALLY EXTREME

Since when is plastic surgery an optical illusion?

this is what celebs and models do

this is amazing...i agree with t2....also to GreenDayGirl: u like Green Day?! omfg i LOVE Green Day!!!:)

Hillbilly to hollywood

wow thats pretty crazy

The last one down CLONED... Into a man... Creepy... But seriously... Those are creepy

I, honestly think it's sad when you can't stand your body enough that you have to go get surgery.

(Fear The Wall Of Text!!! XD)

I hate the media. It's all the media's fault. That's why hundreds of thousands of Teenage girls are out there starving themselves or throwing up afer every meal. They always want to look like Britney Spears, or Hilary Duff, or even dip to Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan. Why not someone like Queen Latifah? She's much more of a role model than any of the others. There are many other celebrities that are so much more admirable than the skinny, blonde ones.

That is all, you may sit down now.

Mat- I agree. XD

Hai- *Pokes Webbie*

Also, third from the top... Really needs to get a better fitting shirt.

im glad im beutiful!!!!!!!!!!

how exactly is this body paint?

Hey I still think that's all of us...you guys are not excluded! Sorry! You can put on a large t-shirt or shirt say"Alen Jackson" or Brad Pitt style or Whatever and cover up and grow a beard& moustache..walaaa!
Anyway, sincerely,
can any of you give me a photoshop 4 dummies quick lession? I have to make a label...Food product label. Deadline, next Tuesday! July 25th,06.
Character logo done. Perfect...NOT!!! I need some friendly assistance! I would like to make transparent lables layers, so that when I send it to the Printers they will be able to adjust, since I,m such a novice. Any suggestions,,,greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
breezy

OMG I LOVE THAT SHOW they do amazing thing BUT i dont belive you should have ur body surgicaly MODIFYED enless its a medical problem

LET ME TELL YOU WHO NEEDS AN EXTREME MAKEOVER ARE ALL THE GIRLS ON FLAVOR OF LOVE SEASON TWO.

Wonderfull how they can make 2 out of 1 (see last picture) :P

that is so wrong- God made you perfectly in his image and how he wanted you to look like- he didn't want you to look like how the media is potraying you to dress/look like!!

19.-- obesity is just as much of a problem as anorexia and bulemia. And many more people are obese than unhealthily thin, so, it's a -bigger- problem.

Also, how is plastic surgery an illusion? They are big changes, impressive, yes, but not an optical illusion...

that makes me sad somehow-- i wonder how healthy it is to place conceptions of beauty and confidence on mear physical appearance... luckiy there is no body paint to cover up what really makes us pretty or not pretty

Why do/did they do it? You're kidding, right? Coyote ugly is reason enough. Some of them could have cured their own hiccoughs by taking a quick peek in a mirror. Thank God there are treatments for CBU (congenital butt ugliness)!

nice

Can u say fake?!

I still think most of them look pretty ugly. I wonder how they looked after they went home, washed their faces and washed their hair? You know without the makeup and the blowed hair...

Mat i so agree with you...frankly it was pointless doing that to peole

First of all these women are not Ugly I totally agree with sebastian and surf 24/7 However, this is the cold hard reality about society,not just the media. Men like andy and are contributing to this as well. Don't you think? If there weren't shallow men in the world like that they would not have to do this. They just want to fit in and be loved,Nothing wrong with that.

this is sick
think of how many people NEED plastic surgey to save there life
nd its bein wasted on them
half of them only needed hair straighteners, good clothes and confidence.
sheesh

the third one is a man

I can't believe those women felt they needed to go to such extremes to aspire to superficial labels such as 'pretty' or 'beautiful' (which are subjective ideals anyway). Most of them could have improved their looks with a better understanding of what to wear, and a haircut. But most of all, it was their lack of self esteem that made them 'unattractive', and most of all, the unattractiveness in their perception fed into the befief that they were 'ugly' by sucking the happiness out of them.

Plus, psychologically, these women are still scarred by their slavery to the ideals of 'perfection', and probably try not to think about how their 'improvements' aren't parts of their actual bodies, thus meaning that the person other people ISN'T REALLY THEM.

It's tragic, really.

I want to grow up to be a plus-size female African-American celebrity!

Some of them are Australian.

The first is the the daughter of the fourth. They both spent thousands and thousands of dollars on surgery "together" as a "mother daughter" thing...

The amount of money these women spend is so clearly not worth it... For less than $AU200, you could give them a complete makeover with a new cut, colour, and style, and some well chosen and well applied makeup, and that is already 3/4 of what their "transformations" rely on to "look better".

The other five figures or more (of cash) only give 1/4 (max) of their overall aesthetic improvement...

The third one down looks like a man! haha

Whoah, a lot of them got some implants up there. And I get that they felt ugly but some times I really don't get why people just aren't happy with what they are..... I mean it what's inside that matters, not your looks.

amen, surf 24/7!!!!!!!!! O yeah, what's the illusion?

dude, it probably took 7 years 2 get all that SICK makeup off

# six is the best of 'em all shes very pretty... I never knew that!! How she can go from that from... THAT!!!!

i agree

The last one was a little pretty before!

Ugly woman doesn´t exist. Only the poor ones!

perfection is overrated, these women are just as ugly before and after. its a shame that they believe that simply changing their appearance makes them any better of a person.

milfs

i have to say good for them! but on the other hand i wonder how many of them left there husbands or wives afterwards because they thought now they could do better!

i don't get how this is an optical illusion.
like, is this supposed to be a joke?
cuz there is no illusion

How did the last woman turn into a man?

SAD, SAD PEOPLE... apparently they are ugly inside as well as outside.

I knew a woman who died of cancer when she was 35. Do you think there would be ANYTHING she wouldnt have given for the opportunity to live long enough to be old and ugly like these women?

And all they care about is how their precious SELF-CONFIDENCE has been restored!

Talk about SELFISHNESS!

Wake up, people, you have it better than you think!

Nobody needs friggin surgery to look beautiful!! All you need to do is be happy with what you got or make it look better without surgery!! It makes me mad how people do this everyday!!

Wow, I like illusions and everything, but I think that's pretty much the coolest one I've ever seen.

I am, of course, referring to the last one. With all the others, sure, they've changed each lady's appearance drastically. The last one, however ... they've even managed to make it look like she's with a bloke!

I can't work out how they did it, but they did it goooood. The others should take note, they too could make it look like they are with a man.

PS people are stupid.

Yeah, I wish I could get made over to look like I have a hot-ass supermodel next to me 24/7.
