TRAGIC WRINKLE (tales from Beverly Hills and the truly self-absorbed)

........Serrano is licensed to practice medicine in Argentina, he has no such license in America. He got a nursing license in California in March — well after he began working on his wealthy, now irate clients......

(Yawn), Another phony in La La Land. Who woulda ever guessed? The Doc's real crime is preying and profiting on the truly self-absorbed. Ka-ching.

[goldstategop]

Liberal stupidity in the pursuit of Eternal Youth. Kerry goes Botox. And now there's this.

[goldstategop]

It all reminds me of Oscar Wilde's immortal classic The Picture Of Dorian Gray. The one in which Gray makes a deal with the Devil to preserve his looks. Of course he only preserves his external beauty in the bargain while his soul grows ugly with accumulated evil. Its a story as old as man: "what doth it profit a man he should gain the whole world but lose his soul?"

[Liz]

Wonderful book, and a great movie with Hurd Hatfield as Dorian (sometimes shown on AMC).

"...But "Dr. Dan" is no man of medicine — at least not on this side of the equator, authorities say. What was worse, Artecoll is illegal in the United States.

Hey, he's here illegaly simply to do the jobs that American doctors won't do! Let's give the poor man a break.

[Liz]

Another display of the shallowness of these types. They're about as deep as a teacup.

[durasell]

Too much money + Too few brains + eternal march of time =
medical procedures at home.

[Liz]

It really is almost hilarious the way these gullible people believe in the practice of plastic surgery....and will pay big bucks for a shot at "eternal youth," and will also suction out their wombs for their personal convenience.

The very same ones who believe political purveyors like Kerry and Clinton, too.

The same types who look down their noses at religious people who believe in something greater than themselves.

[mtbopfuyn]

ROF!!!

[Liz]

How gullible .....paying a guy $500 to come to your home to shoot you up with a mysterious vial of an unknown substance.

I wonder if they've bought any bridges lately?

[durasell]

Either gullible or desperate.

[marty60]

There you go....DESPERATE. The only thing that matters in their empty world is how they look and how much money they make. It must truly be sad to wake up in the AM and be terrified to look in a mirror. Pathetic.

[durasell]

They're not terrified to look in the mirror. They're terrified that their husbands will start looking at 25 year olds. They enjoy their Bev Hills homes and have a deep and abiding fear of trading them for condos.

[Liz]

Even more tragic, is that their spouses traded older, plasticized wives in for them........when they were considered trophy wives. Thus the battle to remain a "displayable object" continues with buying into every new plastic technique that comes down the pike.......as long as it contains vague promises of staving off the inevitable.

[durasell]

That's pretty much it. But it isn't confined to just Hollywood, it happens all over.

[varon]

What was worse, Artecoll is illegal in the United States.

Now the alleged fake doc is in an L.A. federal jail on charges of importing and distributing an unapproved medical device.

For the sake of fairness and diversity, let the man go! (/sarcasm)

[Rose in RoseBear]

Pingpingping!

[Liz]

The Hollywarped libs are not being very "tolerant and compassionate." So they got a few unsightly scars? So what?

Looks like they will advance diversity and fairness, only if it doesn't cost them anything......and the rest of us are compelled to pay the price.

[Liz]

Yeah, but Hollywarped patented the process, and they proselytize the message via their TV, movies and music products.

[YaYa123]

"After being injected by Serrano on six separate occasions — in her lips, cheeks, temples, ears and other areas — Shawn King developed an "aesthetically displeasing bump" on her lower lip, she told investigators. Now she has trouble speaking and drinking from cups and glasses."

Yikes!! "aesthetically displeasing" sounds like a mighty big understatement if that thing on her bottom lip is so big she can't talk or drink.
