I watch too much TV. Last night was an especially odd, amusing night of television. Here's why:
American Idol John Stevens can only croon. Good at singing theme songs from Casablanca, bad at singing everything else. D1ana De.Garmo sucked, especially cause she sang My Heart Will Go On. I think it's between LaToya London and Fantasia. Those two are both consistently gooooood.
Extreme Makeover Ok, I just flipped back and forth to this show. But oh man, the one dude's teeth were hooooorrible. If there's one thing I notice about someone, it's their teeth. And he had the craziest teeth ever. Crazy teeth man. Thank goodness for dentists. He looked better at the end... but he kind of ended up looking like a Ken doll. Plastic. Anyways, makeover dude fell in love with a chick getting her own extreme makeover... they met while they were recuperating from their plastic surgeries. It was very odd. Oh, and makeover chick had a tattoo removed. What was this tattoo? I believe she had tattooed the name "Wayne" in Korean on her stomach. Yep.
I Want to Look Like a Celebrity Or whatever the heck this horrific MTV show is called. The girl wanted to look like JLo, so she went in for a hairline lowering, cheek implants, eyebrow lift, chin thinning, breast implants, butt implants. Seriously. And the thing is, the chick wasn't a chick-- it was a dude!! The guy was taking hormones to get boobs and a girlier figure. As for hiding the ahem male appendage... let's just say duct tape was involved. AH! This show horrifies me, and I'm sure it horrifies these celebrities to know that people would go to such crazy lengths to look like them. It's just disturbing. In the train wreck kind of way. You just can't help but watch in horror.
Overall, I think these two shows do a great job of dissuading people from getting plastic surgery. Cause good lord, it looks so freakin' painful. The JLo wannabe was moaning in pain, and had a wrestler style mask/cast thing on his face. The whole process just looks like a house of pain. One that I don't want no part of.
Made Last night's Made was this chick who wanted to be win her school's beauty pageant. First of all, what the heck kind of school still has a beauty pageant? A school of Texas. Ah. Anways, this girl was so geeky and funny- I kind of dug her. She was weird, but she was goofy and amused herself. And she was cute, except she looked like she was 12 instead of 16. But the absolute craziest thing about her: her clothes. All her clothes consisted of screen tees with wizards, unicorns, rainbows plastered on them. Very Dungeons and Dragons. Anways, I felt bad for her, cause she didn't have a lot of friends, and she was very socially awkward. So Miss Galaxy fixed her up-- showed her how to have poise, talk to people, walk nicely, be self confident, etc. And dude, she ended up looking goooood. And feeling reallly good about herself. And, she won second place. Alright nerd girl!
The moral of this television night story: Be happy with who you are. This sounds horrible, but I felt a lot better about myself last night. I have good friends, a great family and my personality and happiness are not defined by my appearance. Life is pretty sweet.
Must watch less TV.
