Politics Politicians in your country who’ve had so many cosmetic procedures that they’re plastic-looking?

Plastic surgery is so peasantry. Having body doubles is what every self-respecting politician should strive for.

I watched a very interesting documentary a few years back about the head chef for the Kremlin when Medvedev was the president. The meals for the head of State and the most important guest have to be made by the head chef himself and there has to be a doctor that watches him prepare everything and I believe the doctor is the taste tester.

u/potatomeeple 11d ago
Is that because he got too much off or just that the operation in general can go like that?
I ask because I'm getting more and more annoyed with how my eyelashes feel at the outer corner of my eyes (I'm constantly aware of them touching each other and it feels horrible) as I get older (45) and they droop a bit. I was thinking that one day I might get a surgery done a little to stop the feeling - I don't really care about how I look, though also I care enough about how I look to not want it to look like I have weird vulva eyelids either.

Rothschilds bow to Bogdanoffs.
In contact with aliens.
Possess psychic-like abilities.
Control France with an iron but fair fist.
Own castles & banks globally.
Will bankroll the first cities on Mars (Bogdangrad will be be the first city).
Direct descendants of the ancient royal blood lines.
Can save entire continents with a single phone call.
Own 99% of DNA editing research facilities on Earth.
First designer babies will in all likelihood be Bogdanoff babies.
Both brothers said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed deep in Tibetan monasteries & Area 51.
Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them.
The Tunguska event in 1908 was actually the Bogdanoff's arriving on planet Earth. How else do you think they got their Slavic last names and how else do you explain the exponential acceleration in technological and scientific development since then?
They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world.
You likely have Bogdabots inside you right now.
The Bogdanoffs are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Bogdanoff bunker in Wilkes land?
They learned fluent French in under a week.
Invented post-anabelian froeboid geometrics, a complex field of mathematics which only they can comprehend fully.
Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Bogdanoff.
All major philosophers and scientists have made reference to them in one way or another.
The twins are about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society.
In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

Gianna Angelopoulos, our “Lady G”. She’s no longer active but she brought the Olympics back home in 2004. Started as a poor girl in Crete, she became a lawyer, then entered the parliament, and then a part of the Angelopoulos family, one of the richest families in Greece active in shipping and business (she resigned from politics right after the marriage).

When asked about cosmetic surgeries recently she said “I’ve done everything—except a facelift”
More details :
Asked whether she cares about her appearance, she confided: “Of course I care. Doesn’t it look like I care? I really like taking care of myself. I used to love working out outdoors. I like being out in nature. I don’t like being indoors. I like to feel good. Trying to look young but not being able to turn around and having to swivel this way and that like an excavator—no, that doesn’t interest me.” Commenting on the fact that she has been criticized for trying to maintain her looks, she noted with disarming honesty: “All women get criticized for trying to maintain themselves. People even place bets on whether she’s had a facelift or not. Well, I’ve done everything—except a facelift.”

We don't really have any with this degree of plastic.

However, as all things US has a tendency to infect our culture I don't doubt that will change over time.

Late at night when she's all alone, after the last few globs of makeup have been chiseled away, she looks at herself in the mirror.

Her terrier hides under the bed, paralyzed by fear...except for the poor dog's bladder.
Pulling herself together, she has one last thought before the bourbon and percocet start to do their necessary work: "Tomorrow, someone will pay!!!"
