So you think I'm self-obsessed?

Mazel tov - you're correct! I am all about pictures of myself lately and now I have a super sexy one for you all to cut out and tape up, NKOTB-style, above your beds:

leslie.jpg


I know, I'm mesmerizing.

Actually, what you're looking at is a shot of my punim (look it up) before and after I altered it using LiftMagic, "the world's most advanced visual face processing studio." Yes, I totally stole the idea from Steph at Back In Skinny Jeans and no, I am not ashamed to admit it.

So, let's break this down, shall we? I used the Nose Reduction, Lip Augmentation and, just for flips and giggles, the Weight Reduction function.

Whaddyouthink? I my have overdone things a bit, as my chin looks pointer than a pair of Gwyneth Paltrow's stilettos.
But I must say (as I hang my head and genuflect to the gods of hypocrisy), I think my nose looks kinda good. My lips were already kissably lucious, and I don't know why my teeth turn all horsey in the After pic.

Feedback, please? Is it time to call Dr. Rey from Dr. 90210? (I kid, I kid.)

I can honestly say - the real thing is way better in every way! Very funny though...

I much prefer the before.

The after definitely has that gross plastic surgery look/feel about it -- everything pulled too tight, too narrow, etc.

And I'm glad you didn't mess with the cheeks.

Agree. Before picture is better.

Posted by JavaChick on May 21 at 02:53pm

The "before" picture is so much better!!!

Posted by anonymous on May 21 at 02:54pm

I pick...the left one.
Now if only I could get done, in real life...

As stated above, i think your before pic is world's better. And i actually think your nose is better in the before also. Its stange, both my parents have huge noses but i admit mine is fairly small. Some people pride on their butt or boobs, i like my nose. Btw, since i live in la and all, my dentist is in the same building as that Dr. Rey guy and i saw him once getting into his Jag. He's so weird looking! he had highlights and i swear he was wearing masacara!

no question-before pic is definitely a winner.

Actually, both self-absorbed pictures are not worth anyone's time.

Posted by Painful on May 21 at 03:14pm

Gotta vote for the before pic, too. Why mess with a good thing?

Posted by Dara Chadwick on May 21 at 03:30pm

The second picture just looks out of focus. Photography-wise and reality-wise! Don't change the punim. :)

Posted by Sarah on May 21 at 03:33pm

Not even close! The before is much better.

I'm often curious about those sort of sites that will preview a new hairstyle or virtually try on a pair of jeans for you or whatever--but then I realize I'm far too lazy to come up with a picture and fiddle with things, so I've never satisfied my curiosity. Thanks for being a guinea pig.

I don't think you need to do any fixin' of yourself. As Martina sings, "You're beautiful the way you are!"

BTW, NKOTB were on the Today Show last week! :) I still love Joey!

Posted by Palmtreechick on May 21 at 04:47pm

I agree with the above, the "before" pic is much better!

(MKOTB! OMG theyah wicked pissah!)

Isn't this blog about accepting yourself for how you are?

Posted by confused on May 21 at 06:51pm

It just look like it was stretched.

meh, not worth $59,597,297,000.00

Posted by Kelly T on May 21 at 07:16pm

Confused - you're right! WG IS all about accepting yourself...this whole blog was done in total jest.

Posted by Leslie on May 21 at 08:04pm

Eeeeek, that nose looks one surgery away from a Jackson nose! And that witchy chin? Not good Leslie. Your face has beautiful proportions already.

Posted by Cara on May 21 at 09:08pm

Good heavens, you could spear fish with that "after" chin! You look fab as is. Have we learned nothing from Meg Ryan?? PS> Waif - I totally KNEW Dr. Rey wore makeup! He looks faker than his signature boobs.

I notice a difference

Yeah. I'm on the before picture bandwagon.

When trying on new glasses today. The tech took pictures of me w/ my choices so I could narrow it down. Each photo looked progressively more like a mug shot. I went with the tortoise shell mugshot w/ th rhinestones.

Yeah, much better in the before. The nose looks weird on your face in the after pic. The lips I can't tell a difference.

I've had a rhinoplasty and have lip implants and they enhanced my appearance, but I guess it's not for everybody

Posted by beth on May 22 at 12:25am

it is sad that Steph @ SJ got it from my LinkLove and yet I, like Crabby, was too lazy to fiddle?

nothing deep seated either :) as I was too lazy to use the Knicker Picker and I NEED new knickers!

thanks for demoing!!

Posted by MizFit on May 22 at 05:42am

What a face Dah-ling! Stick to the before ;-)

Posted by Fitarella on May 22 at 07:00am

I swear, I had the same reaction to Steph's photo - it just looks like vaseline has been smudged all over the picture!
The before photo is a LOT better!

Posted by WundaLucy on May 22 at 09:04am

I'm with Crabby! (And much prefer the before shot:)).

Posted by Sagan on May 22 at 01:44pm

I'm sad that the face-smudging website exists, but all it does is reaffirm for me that a person's natural beauty is ALWAYS better than the man-made kind. People with plastic surgery always end up looking a little weird if you ask me. Maybe not right away, but eventually they all do.

Leslie, don't give in to society's pressure to have a nose that probably wouldn't even allow adequate airflow to climb a flight of stairs. :)
