A Man Spent $150,000 on Plastic Surgery to Look Like Kim Kardashian (Seriously!)

http://www.eonline.com/news/607768/a-man-spent-150-000-on-plastic-surgery-to-look-like-kim-kardashian-seriously-see-the-pics

A British man named Jordan James Parke has spent $150,000 on extreme plastic surgery to look like his idol Kim Kardashian. The 23-year-old, who is from Manchester and works as a makeup artist, paid big bucks on medical procedures, including lip fillers, a chin filler, Botox and eyebrow tattooing, in the hopes of looking like the 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star....

"I absolutely love everything about Kim Kardashian. I think she's everyone's guilty pleasure," Parke says. "For me, she is the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair is perfect—everything about her is perfect. There's no one I'd rather look like."

"My look is all about the shock factor," Parke recently told The Sun newspaper. "I love all the attention and stares I get in the street. I welcome the hate—it just means more attention. And if anything, it just spurs me on to get more work done."

And no, Parke doesn't have any regrets about getting all the face-altering work done. "I laugh when people try to insult me by telling me I look plastic or fake," he said. "Do they think I'm going for the natural look? If I was, I'd ask for my money back."

that even my body image problems aren't so bad and I think I'm ugly (to be fair that assessment doesn't usually generate any objections from the women around me).

I couldn't imagine doing that to yourself, especially for somebody so utterly vapid.

The eyebrows are wrong, he has no hair and no spray tan. With $150K he can't get a $10 spray tan?

Seems like the same fact checker as the made $72 mil trading stocks on his lunch break kid.

This dude spent $150,000 on "extreme" procedures to look like Kim Kardashian, and he didn't have his nose narrowed, his eyeliner tattooed or his head razor taken away?

And about the eyebrows, dear: if you'd grow a mustache and start smoking cigars, you'd be the spitting image of Groucho Marx.

Very "special." Whatta maroon, to quote that well-known philosopher, B. Bunny.
