...What is wrong with these VERY young girls getting so plasticky???...why ruin perfectly good youthful looks?
O Kristy, you just happened to get me right as the Pills are kicking in, and so alas for you, I am going to attempt to answer your question.
Although I think you can answer it yourself, if you will be very honest and think back.
You don't have to admit it to anyone if you should happen to recall that when you were a very young girl, you perceived yourself, with your own "perfectly good youthful looks" as being either an unspeakably hideous being upon whom the public should not be obliged to gaze, or the most beautiful and alluring creature who had ever breathed air, and days when both of those opinions consumed your consciousness within minutes of each other were not infrequent.
Now back in my day, and possibly in yours, we were obliged to simply endure those moments when we saw ourselves as utterly and hopelessly unsightly, or attempt to remedy the situation as best we could with a new shade of eyeshadow or a different mascara brush, and at least in my own experience, I still marvel at just how effective such methods were, what miracles were wrought by the simple application of this or that latest offering of the Revlon or Maybelline companies.
I routinely transformed myself, in a matter of seconds and a couple of strategic brush strokes, from a grotesque creature best suited for carnival sideshows with a warning that the sight might not be suitable for sensitive viewers, into a goddess of such heart-stopping beauty that any and all who laid eyes on me were surely doomed to fall instantly into an eternal abyss of hopeless longing for such a breathtaking creature who would never be theirs.
In short, we coped.
Today, however, especially in the case of young girls who are very wealthy, it has not been necessary for them to develop such skills, and advances in Science have made it possible for anyone who does not like their face, and has the money to do so, to simply go purchase a new one.
So when they look into their mirrors and see, instead of those youthful good looks that we see, a horrific visage likely to traumatize small children, or even a nose that does not look as much like Halle Berry's as they wish it did, they do not need to be able to magically change that reflection into one of unparalleled pulchritude and total hotness by means of deft adjustments of attitude and eyeliner.
Instead, they whip out their Bedazzled cellphones, punch in the number of their local equivalent of Dr Rey-the-plastic-surgeon (though hopefully they will choose one who is board-certified, which Dr Rey is not) and recite their credit card number, and within weeks, if not days, they will be covered in mummy-like bandages and reclining on the down pillows of some $10,000 a week luxury after-care facility, and therefrom shortly emerge with the desired Halle-like nose and a pair of new cheekbones and fat-injected puffy fish-lips to boot.
So I don't know if this is the case specifically with Heidi, but you phrased your question in more general terms, and that is how I have attempted to answer it, although in retrospect I guess I could have saved my fingers if I had just said "
because they can."
