She was, actually. My boyfriend liked her on 7th. And her nose wasn't really THAT visible, I always thought that.
Even when she singed crap "la-la" she was dark brunette and very funky, that style suited her. But you know, you have to conform to Hollywood standards to feel ok with yourself. Blonde and skinny: no matter how PS you get, just try to reach the stupid fake top.

I don't blame her for getting PS. She is a lot prettier now and I think that will help her career in the long run. I admit that I pay more attention to her now that I think she is cute. In the past I would not have bothered to click on her "latest photo" threads, but now I always click to see if her PS has lasted and if she is still cuter than before.

It is always the best situation if you can love your original looks for what they are, but I don't think there is something wrong with changing if you honestly don't like what you see in the mirror. We only have one life to live, so you might as well make the most of it. Ashlee probably feels much better now (I would if I had PS with good results). Feeling attractive is a good feeling.

I think she was pretty before. The pictures posted make her look bad because most of the pictures are of her making silly faces. She's still pretty now.

geez and i wonder how many other celebrities do that???

I agree. You are completely right and I support this.
I was just trying to focus on a slightly different subject. I think that we should also be able to feel comfortable with the way we look, which is something so much harder to do. We're loosing this "I like myself the way I am" thing and we're going too much under the knife. I just think this is a bit scary and a little bit wrong.
We'd all be less stressed if we learned to be happy the way we are. But usually people who undergo a surgery, then they get some other little work done, and then another and so on... so PS doesn't really gives you what you were hoping for.
And then, I am sorry to say that but this is what I've been taught, Plastic Surgery is basically useful if you really have a problem: breast-cancer, accidents, harelips and so on.
I am sorry that maybe I do not understand how bad it feels when you think your boobs are too small to be trendy, but my boyf is a biomedichal and from him I've learned how invasive surgeries are and, especially, what they really work for.
You cannot realise how much effort these people put into the creation of something which can fix a young baby's eyes or a bad handicap. This is serious and people tend to go for PS a little bit too easily.
I mean, PS is just RIGHT. AT ALL. But we're all lucky enough and we should maybe think a little longer before going unfer the knife. I just think that people can't stop and think about the fact that they're equally hot, because it's just easier to get a work done.

she should just have gotten a better nose job and stuck with it.

[NHKMM]

^What is wrong with her nose job? It looks great and natural!

[Mel1973]

I think her plastic surgery is fine - I'm sure that the goal was to look better than her sister and I think she's certainly succeded in that area!

There's probably no real "before" pics in the whole set... All I can say about this girl is, unattractive before, unattractive now. She is a loser. Her stupid "I am confident and I did it all for myself" quotes only make her look uglier. I think she looks like a damn plastic mannequin now and not even human anymore. What is the point when a young girl like her, who wasn't ugly at all to begin with, transforms herself completely?? To me it screams mental issues. It is just not normal for a person her age. She needed a different kind of doctor. I honestly see nothing attractive about her at all. Especially since she doesn't really have any talent to back it all up with.

I TOTALLY agree.
PS: You should be in politics!!!

[sweetness]

She definitely needs a little make-up, but when she wears it all heavy it makes her looks too harsh.
