https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival#Etymology
The word is said to come from the Late Latin expression carne levare, which means "remove meat"; a folk etymology derives it from carne vale, "farewell to meat". In either case, this signifies the approaching fast.[17] The word carne may also be translated as flesh, producing "a farewell to the flesh", a phrase embraced by certain Carnival celebrants to embolden the festival's carefree spirit.[17] The etymology of the word Carnival thus points to a Christian origin of the celebratory period.[15]

Other scholars argue that the origin of the word is a common meat-based country feast (in Latin carnualia)[18] or the festival of the Navigium Isidis ("ship of Isis&quot , where the image of Isis was carried to the seashore to bless the start of sailing season.[19] The festival consisted of a parade of masks following an adorned wooden boat, called in Latin carrus navalis,[18] possibly the source of both the name and the parade floats.

These things don't happen over night. Bad facial work is the result is at least half a dozen little incremental plastic surgeries.

That means there were at least a couple of times in the last coupla years where she listened to some charlatan who told her, "You look fabulous, darling, but y'know what your face needs? More work!"

Of this original post is her actual picture from years ago, before she had any plastic surgery.
