Un-f-ing-believable! There are people who WANT "mar-a-lago face"?!?

Much has been made of the so-called “Mar-a-Lago face”, or the uncannily smooth and artificially voluminous features seen on the likes of Maga elite such as Kristi Noem, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz. The bee-sting puffy lips, frozen brows and taut necks have been compared to Real Housewives stars, sleep paralysis demons and – ironically, considering the Republican party’s anti-LGBTQ+ culture war – drag queens (minus the campy fun).

As of January, plastic surgeons in Washington DC have seen a “surge in ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ requests from Trump insiders”, Axios recently reported. Surgeons told the outlet that more Washingtonians want their procedures to be not unnoticed but obvious and overdone.

Axios attributed the aesthetic shift to the influx of transplants from south Florida (where Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s gaudy private club, is located), who are no strangers to nip-tuck tune-ups. Others theorize that going through these procedures is a calculated act of political deference to Trump’s preferred (and unnatural) beauty standards....

"When you go outside the range of what a normal human face should look like, that’s not a place I’m willing to go."
Dr Anita Kulkarni

This boggles my mind. Don't they know people stare at them in the same way rubber neckers slow down to see a car wreck?

What is going on in the head of someone who sees these abominations of plastic surgery and thinks "I want THAT!"

[patphil]

1. People slowing down to see the face wreck.

[pat_k]

24. This video of before and after shots is jaw dropping.

https://youtube.com/shorts/-le5wuSAyks (and the twilight zone clip at the end is perfect!)

It may be inconceivable, but when you see the perfectly normal before shots next to the horrific after shots, it goes beyond unbelievable to a manifestation of self-mutilation that calls for intervention and treatment

2. I don't believe this story

Maybe a handful of people sure, but I doubt there's a rush for this.

5. I saw this face for the first time in-person at brunch on Saturday in Charlotte

My husband and I were waiting to be seated and I had to text him to look.

when this person passed, her body appears emaciated which made her giant head stick out even more

[Just_Vote_Dem]

7. Ewwww....

I hope you were able to enjoy your brunch after that!

[progressoid]

33. I saw one at a high school football game a couple weeks ago.

[Iris]

34. It's the lips for me!

[progressoid]

35. That's the first thing I noticed!

I think her's were recently pumped up. It looked completely out of place on her.

[Iris]

38. It's like they've appropriated drag queens - and badly, at that

[pat_k]

8. I find it hard to believe there would even be a handful.

As reported in the article:

“Before this second Trump term, I just didn’t see a lot of patients coming in making unreasonable requests,” Kulkarni says. But since the inauguration, she has fielded half a dozen or more – not a large sample size, but enough for the surgeon to take note

I imagine there are a handful too, but a handful multipled by the number of plastic surgeons who "do" faces and to me it adds up to a pretty f-ing unbelievable number.

10. Good point

I'm still appalled that the lunatic has such a following

[pat_k]

27. Before and afters

https://youtube.com/shorts/-le5wuSAyks

As I said in another reply, when you see the perfectly normal before shots next to the horrific after shots, it goes beyond incomprehensible to a manifestation of self-mutilation that calls for intervention and treatment

[Ocelot II]

3. People who want to be part of the MAGA inner circle and can afford to have it done.

A MAGA cougar with social ambitions isn't likely to be invited to Mierda-Lardo unless she's got lips that look like she could suck a basketball through a garden hose, boobs so massive that she probably can't sit up without help, false eyelashes that look like wooly-bear caterpillars, and facial skin that resembles Naugahyde. People do crazy things for social acceptance.

[maveric]

4. The Gargoyle look.

[RockRaven]

6. If people want to mark themselves as braindead tasteless bigots, okay.

It will save good people time we might otherwise waste getting to know them.

[Traildogbob]

9. Masculine men???

Moses Mike with that punchable lying mug needs to not only have a Mardi Lardo makeover, he needs to go all in with the trump mug shot makeover.
Gym Jordon could use the trump paint job. He is fucking dead grey, like his soul.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. Women who want this surgery are sick people

Men who like the Mar-a-Lago face are also sick

[leftstreet]

12. Renaissance women dilated eyes with belladonna

A sign of great beauty for the rich women surrounding the kings and queens

The Italian rich ladies drank gold to get youthful "shining" skin
Elizabeth 1 rich ladies drank ceruse (white lead) to get white, white skin

[pat_k]

18. Human desire to "fit in" with a perceived status group knows no bounds I guess.

[flvegan]

13. "Supersize me!" n/t

[MagickMuffin]

14. If only god had given the perfect face and boobs

I guess god does make mistakes after all.

I’ve noticed whenever I see Kimberly and her heavy eye makeup and sad sad lips. I can’t help thinking that she asks why did I do this to myself. I ask myself the same question because before the face implants she was really pretty. Now she scares me 😱

[dedl67]

15. This desire is part of a world-wide trend for facial 'improvement' in general

The German magazine, Der Spiegel, had a cover story a couple of weeks ago on what is becoming a craze in body-optimization, especially for face-lifts. Because of smart phones, Zoom, etc., people are staring at their own and other faces much more than previously. And they are dissatisfied with their own face.

[hlthe2b]

16. They give me the creeps. Any male who would be attracted to that would likewise...

[bamagal62]

17. I see them occasionally in NJ

and once in a while here in NYC. It’s really weird.
(I do see a lot of guppy lips here in NYC.)

[MorbidButterflyTat]

19. "The bee-sting puffy lips..."

They look more like bicycle inner tubes.

[pat_k]

20. On first encounter with such a face, I'd probably have thought

"Oh, the poor thing. I wonder what she's allergic too? And trying to cover with all that make up just makes it worse. The poor thing."

[Dulcinea]

21. They look like the wax lips I used to get at birthday parties when I was a kid. nt

[pat_k]

25. Some before and afters

Perfectly normal attractive people before (except gaetz, but he managed to make things worse)

[Intractable]

22. What this woman did to her face is hideous.

Lauren Sanchez Bezos

How much did Bezos pay for her to get that face? She looks like the Joker from Batman.

[Deuxcents]

26. Give em what they want..it'll make it easy for the rest of us to know ahead of time who we're dealing with

[pat_k]

30. I'm sure those who want it can find an unethical surgeon

But frankly, I can't imagine a surgeon known for this having a thriving career long-term -- not with this kind of "work" following them.

When the felon and Vance are impeached and removed in 2027, or voted out in 2028, perhaps some of the unfortunates will find a skilled surgeon to recreate the semblance of a normal human face.

[Hassler]

28. Since Chump has iguana eyes, I expect

MAGAt cult men to get that makeover.

[marble falls]

29. But ALL the kids are doing it!!!

[pat_k]

31. Brings back my mom's ""If everyone was jumping off a bridge, would you do it too?"

I imagine other families had some form of that one.

Perhaps we need some new saying that moms grounded in sanity say to their MAGA kids that prompts those kids (however old they may be) to actually listen to the doubts that are undoubtedly plaguing them as the felon goes further and further off the rails.

[marble falls]

32. Where's the bridge at? Maybe we can bus a bunch of of them over.

[Hotler]

36. So what, let them. Instead of a swastika on their forehead they have the whole face saying I'm fascist.

Mar-a-lago face is the face of a fascist.

[Lokee11]

37. JIGSAW Face??

[mucholderthandirt]

39. It's the only way these women will be considered relevant in any way to MAGA.

They're only desired for their looks, and looking like the favored few women will help them be attractive the the men with no brains.

At least we'll be able to recognize and shun them. Maybe we should make it a law that all MAGA have to have it tattooed on their foreheads so they can't hide.
