The “Mara Lago” Look
Or “Plastic Surgeons Gone Wild”

UNDER THE KNIFE: Blowing up the Kennedy Center isn’t the only change Donald Trump is bringing to D.C. cultural life. Area plastic surgeons report that MAGA’s re-ascendance is changing city norms around getting work done. No, not office work. Cosmetic work. People in Trump’s orbit are actively chasing the uncanny-valley effect of “Mar-a-Lago face.” Axios reports1:

President Trump is all in on aesthetics, and bolder is always better. . . . And some of the people in his circle are embracing that maximalist ethos when it comes to their visage, surgeons tell Axios.

Washington is typically an understated town regarding plastic surgery; people want to look good, but don’t want it to be obvious they’ve had work done, says area plastic surgeon Troy Pittman, who works with a lot of Trump insiders. But that’s no longer the case since Team Trump 2.0 rolled into town: “[Now] we’re seeing people who want to look like they had something done,” he says.

Some area plastic surgeons even report turning MAGA potential clients away, worrying that the amount of treatment they’re requesting can be dangerous. Surgeon Anita Kulkarni warns of “filler blindness,” in which people who get more and more extensive plastic surgery while surrounded by people who are doing the same “lose sight of anatomic normalcy.”

( Which definitely doesn’t sound like a metaphor for anything else happening in Washington these days at all.)

As if "normalcy" is even a word in your vocabulary.

I thought ProGlibs were all in favor of extreme surgical procedures but maybe that's just if it involves genital mutilation.


Of other people's children.

And those two look like most of the hangers' on at MaraLago (only not as bad)

For example- look at Matt Gaetz, Kristi Noem, and Melania Trump. Hell, look at Laura Trump and half of the rest of Trump's cabinet.

One difference between Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and most of the Mara Lago crowd?

Nancy Pelosi are vain old people. The crowd at MaraLago is younger, much younger... but insist on defacing themselves for some ideal of "beauty" that baffles the rest of us.

Maybe it's like gang colors or something- though more permanent.

Imagine these folks ageing...... twenty years for now, walking around looking like THAT, with Trump a disgraced ex-president and MaraLago owned by some rich Russian oligarch.

I'm beginning to think that extreme cosmetic surgery is part of the price of entrance into Trump's inner circle.

There's more latex at MaraLago than a rubber room at the local sanitarium, though it could be argued that the same sort of clientele can be found at both.

Unfortunately Michelle Obama is beyond hope so she hasn't had any work done.

Zbaloney,

We're not worried about adults touching you, it's you touching little kids that's more of a concern.

I wouldn't know whether she had work done or not, but I would guess that my inability to discern whether she has, especially if she has had work done- is a testimony to her taste and moderation.

She looks fine, just the way she is.

I have heard Michelle Obama described in many different ways by many different people, but I assure you, no heterosexual male on the planet thinks she is "fine."

So you're providing a second opinion?
