I Have Come From Space To Make You Beautiful

I've long held on to the crazy theory that those alien creatures visiting our planet are really just human beings from the distant future. It all makes sense when you look at the faces of Joan Rivers, Cher, Kenny Rogers, Amanda Lepore, (I could go on and on) and notice the eyes slanted upwards, the pinched nose, the pillowy face, the enlarged head on a stick-like body. Is excessive cosmetic surgery helping along the process of evolution and leading us toward a glamorous future of galactic exploration and cattle abduction? If so, Dr. Frederic Brandt, cosmetic surgeon of the stars and self-proclaimed King of Collagen has to come Earth to make us beautiful. Medium: Acrylic on paper, digital color.

You nailed Dr. Brandt. He has looked that way for many, many years, actually, since he practiced in Miami. I fear his product line as I don't want to look like him...

I am all for stuffing your tits, but stuffing your face?

Holy shit I think you're right.

I don't even know who that Lepore person is. Kenny looks the worst, but Joan is so freaking funny (do you watch Fashion Police?) that I can maybe give her a bit of a pass, even though she shouldn't have gone quite so far.
