I didn't watch The Swan. However, I have a friend who was working as part of the show, so I was curious about how "ugly" the girls were when they started, and how "beautiful" they were when they finished, so I went to check out the website.
As I glanced at the before pictures, I was confused...none of the contestents were particularly ugly...in fact the majority of them, if not all, looked just fine to me! I mean, granted, the pictures weren't the most flattering, the hair was messy and no make up and around the house clothes, but overall they looked just fine!
Then I saw the makeovers...and they just made me feel so sad. They look so different! They are not even the same person! I just felt so sorry for these women...sorry that they couldn't find peace with who they were, sad that they now looked so different then how they were born. I mean, I am sure they are happier, but my goodness, I can't imagine living my life in a body that was no longetr my own. I would just feel so sad, like I wasn't good enough before, and I only am because I was surgically changed. Many of these women weren't jusr "enhanced," they were changed. And they weren't even ugly in the first place! Sigh.
