Angelyne: Model Turned Plastic Surgery Trainwreck
There’s nothing more fascinating than witnessing the fast-approaching train wreck of a celebrity famous for no reason other than her shameless self-promotion. Well, the mononymous “Angelyne,” queen of shameless self-promotion, is here and she is outfitted in blonde, pink and plastic (Think an old, wrinkled, cosmetically-altered Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde). Angelyne is credited as an American model and actress, but she is most famous for purchasing billboards in Hollywood advertising herself. She drives a pink Corvette and has a pink Maltese named Buddha, but other than that, there isn’t much known to be true about the “Hollywood icon.” Oh, except for the fact that she has invested in loads of bad plastic surgery.
Angelyne seemingly materialized in L.A. in the early 1980s and has since become as much a part of Hollywood as the famous sign itself. Rumor has it that she is 54-years old and despite the obvious cosmetic procedures that Angelyne has undergone, she looks every bit her age and then some. In addition to ginormous breast implants, it appears that she has also had multiple rhinoplasties, lip injections, brow lift(s) and facelift(s), although it looks like she has somehow forgotten to lift her neck along with her face. Angelyne typically sports heavy pink makeup, false eyelashes, drawn-on eyebrows, frizzy platinum hair and skimpy pink clothing that is far too revealing. (She has, more than once, pulled a “Britney” getting out of her Corvette.)
Her trademark oversized breasts and plumped lips graced billboards around the city. The billboards are down, but the city's plastic surgeons are likely still busy keeping Angelyne appearing picture-perfect 24/7.
Angelyne's age is unknown but she has had more than enough plastic surgery to last a lifetime. As New York plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer claims: "With Angelyne, I don't even know where to start."
The most noticeable feature on Angelyne is definitely her voluptuous breast implants, which practically sag under the effort of being lifted on such a tiny figure. After that, one's gaze travels Angelyne's face, surrounded by a ridiculous amount of frizzy blonde locks and augmented with multiple plastic surgeries to keep an office of plastic surgeons in business for a lifetime.
Dr. Jennifer Walden is quoted as saying: "It seems apparent that Angelyne has undergone breast augmentation, as her breasts are grossly oversized for her petite frame. She may have had a facelift without a necklift as well given the tightness of her face in some areas, but the looseness of her skin in other areas such as her neck."
Angelyne's face is so full of make-up and plastic surgery that it is difficult to suppose all the operations she has undergone, but they almost undeniably include: at least one facelift, a nose job, brow lift. She most likely also gets lip injections and facial fillers on a regular basis as well.
Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California, notes: "Angelyne appears to have had everything performed on her face: an over-aggressive, pinched rhinoplasty, brow lift, lip injections and possibly a face lift as well, since she's been around for a long time. It's obvious that she's had breast augmentation. Only her arms are beginning to show her age. Cheers to her for still looking good."
Judging by her looks, it appears that Angelyne's dream was to achieve (mainly through plastic surgery) her transformation into a Barbie doll. In her own words: "Barbie wishes she were me."
The truth is that Angelyne's plastic surgery was definitely a horrible disaster as she has gone overboard with it. It is obvious she is in a denial about her actual age, which makes her look unnatural, creepy and ridiculous.
