JAM I totally agree. I watched Extreme Makeover for 20 minutes and I had to turn it off because I wanted to cry. The one woman had really pretty eyes and nice hair - all she needed was more flattering clothes, a different hairstyle and makeup to hide the flaws (I have drawers full, she can even come use mine). It made me so sad that she didn't have any friends that cared enough to help her out and get her to go for a makeover with them or something, even if they didn't need it. Or that she couldn't find that in herself. I went through an ugly duckling phase, but even at my lowest I didn't want to look like a different person, I just wanted other people to think I was pretty the way I was.
These women don't need plastic surgery, they need a support system. OMG - I sound like Delilah After Dark - someone slap me!
And my little's ex has hairless cats and yes, they are quite fugly.
