Miss Platic Hungary 2009

Call it a beauty pageant with a twist.  This show wasn’t about natural beauty, or the usual “I will change the world” speeches, no this pageant was something different entirely. The contest, Miss Plastic Hungary 2009.

On this night the abilities of ones doctor, and the size of the contestant’s bank account outweighed all else. The gorgeous contestants flaunted breast implants, lipo face lifts, nose jobs, and one contestant even went so far as to have her toes done. Miss Plastic Hungary 2009 strove to promote the benefits of plastic surgery in a country where artificial enhancements are viewed mostly with a wary eye.

The Miss Plastic Hungary candidates were at least 18 years of age and included a former gymnast, a firefighter, the usual round of strippers, and a beautiful mother of three.

The goal of the pageant was to help break down the common perception within Eastern that plastic surgery is wrong.  Judge and photographer Marton Szipal was quoted as saying, “I think this competition is long overdue. Hungarians used to laugh about plastic surgery but it’s time for Hungarian women to care more about their appearance. They are the most beautiful in Europe.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. Tamas Rozsos saw the pageant as an opportunity to show Eastern Europe and the world that plastic surgery did not have to represent the Hollywood ideal of beauty. He was quoted as saying, “This about restoring harmony … eliminating asymmetries and giving women the opportunity to have normal features,” Rozsos said. “Plastic surgery has a bad reputation in Hungary but it’s mostly due to the exaggerations.”

To qualify for the pageant, the cosmetically altered beauties they underwent more drastic procedures than lipo or a few botox or collagen injections. The two most popular reworked features were breasts and noses.

While the shows organizers claimed to be looking for “a perfect harmony of body and soul,” in the winner, it really all boiled down to who had the most stunning, symmetrical physique.

Reka Urban, a 22-year-old hostess, was eventually crowned Pageant Queen. The grand prize was an apartment in Budapest. The first runner-up Edina Kulcsar was presented with a new car and second runner-up Alexandra Horvath added some bling to her platic, collecting diamond jewelry worth 2 million forints ($10,800).

Reka, while quite stunning, had previously been banned from conventional pageants due to her cosmetic alterations. While once being viewed by judges and organizers as having an unfair advantage, Reka was finally able to celebrate her day in the spotlight. Prior to her victory she stated, “When talking about plastic surgery, people automatically associate girls who have done it with playmates, the sex industry and with a lifestyle supported by an old, wealthy lover. It is not so. I’m here to prove that plastic girls can be real too.”

Bjork vs. Wal Mart Man

In this edition Celebrity Fashion Disasters Vs. People of Walmart, we have a very unique matchup. One that hasn’t been seen since we’ve started the series. This edition, is perhaps, the most interesting of them all. Now, we’ve seen men in bathrobes, horrible makeup, and even a man with a fox tail. But, This post will almost certainly trump them all.

The first competitor in this edition, is fighting for Celebrity Fashion Disasters. She’s a famous singer, known throughout the world, and especially in the U.K. The celebrity I’m talking about, Björk. She actually has a last name, but it’s really long and confusing, so prretty much everyone just calls her Björk. Born in Iceland, Björk is well known for her soprano vocals and eclectic musical style. However, at one music award show, Björk was perhaps more well known for her fashion distaster than her vocals. Check this out:

Singing Her Swan Song

At what first glance seems like just a normal dress, one soon realizes that their first thought was simply not the case. You quickly realize that Björk is infact, wearing a fake swan as a dress. In a move that seemed like something you’d see on Looney Toons before you saw it on a real person. But that was simply not the case. I think the lady’s face in the background perhaps described best what everyone else was thinking (shes on the right). I wonder what Björk was thinking when she decided to wear that dress. Designed by Marjan Pejoski, Björk wore the dress to the 2001 Oscars. I really don’t know what else to say. Other than it was recently auctioned with a lot of other celebrity items by an international aid agency.

Our competitor, fighting for People of Walmart is also making radical statements. Mostly through his use of undergarments. You see, our peculiar combatant doesn’t believe in wearing the typical pants to Walmart. He was wearing…something else.

Just From Ballet Class

Yes, it’s quite ridiculous, I think so too.  But, personally, I’m still trying to wonder what kind of pants he is wearing. They look like compression shorts, but I don’t know of any compression shorts that are that transparent. Well, not compression shorts, but I am sure there are probably some female undergarments that would fit the bill. The transparency and all. What’s also interesting is the choice of underwear he chose to wear under the “female intimates” he was garnishing. If his tights (that’s what I’m going to call them from now on), were female, why wouldn’t his underwear be too? To be honest, I didn’t analyaze the picture too hard after realizing that he was wearing polka dotted underwear. But, there is one thing that I’m thankful for; and that is there are no treadmarks on his underwear. I mean, wearing transparent tights and polka dotted underwear in public is pretty ridiculous, but wearing transparent tights and polka dotted underwear in public WITH threadmarks would be on an entirely different level of ridiculous. Like, it’d transcend ridiculousness in and of itself.

But, as with any contest, there must be both, a winner and a loser. And so shall there be here today. Today, our winner is fighting out of Iceland for Celebrity Fashion Disasters…Björk! At first, I wanted to pick the guy from People Of Walmart, but upon further analysis, I realized that picking the guy would not do Björk justice. She was wearing a swan around her entire body. It’s stunning. It’s ridiculous. And, it’s just a bit stylish. That’s why she won. The guy fighting for People Of Walmart was just a bit too raunchy.

Pamela Anderson Fashion Disaster

People of Walmart Vs. Celebrity Fashion Disasters
Round 2: Why So Serious Vs. …Oh My God

This second round of awesomely bad fashion disaster doesn’t have to deal so much with the clothes, as it does the the makeup our competitors are wearing. You really don’t want to skip this post. I’ve seen some horrible applications of makeup before, but these are…bad.

Our first competitor, fighting for People Of Walmart, is Why So Serious?

Why So Serious?

This picture, is especially intereting. The make up is so bad, it’s almost as if she’s wearing a mask. At first glance I swore it to be photoshopped. But, I looked at it again, and decided that it couldn’t have been true. The real kicker in this picture is the yellow hair. It really brings out the mask feel in this picture. The other thing that’s different about it her overall demeanor. She just looks rather…pissed. It’s quite odd really. This lady also reminded me of the masks from the movie “Sugar and Spice”

I wonder what she’d have to be buying going to Walmart with that much makeup on. It doesn’t seem like a special occassion that she just accidentally messed up with the eyeshadow and rolled it all over her face. I mean, she did try, but I just don’t know. Her shirt doesn’t really seem that upscale either, it’s just the face that seems over the top. Well, anyways, our next competitor is someone very similar.

Our, second competitor, fighting for Celebrity Failures, is Pamela Anderson

Run, A Killer's on the Loose!

Here at Celebrity Style Spot we like our fights to be as equal as possible. For this fight, we chose Pamela Anderson because in this picture she too is having makeup problems. What her issue seems to be is running eyeliner all over her face. Maybe she was putting the eyeliner on in the car on the way to the awards show? Maybe she was in a dark room and just forgot to check her face in a mirror before she got the the show? Either way, her face is just bad.

Personally, I think she should have just left off the eyeliner all together. it was just too much. It’s as almost as if Pam was trying to draw the beginnings of Robins mask all over her face, and just had time to get started. Maybe, this was just a work in progress, who knows. Also, she doesn’t look too happy.

In both pictures, our competitors have chosen to forgo a simple, tried and true makeup application, for something a little more exciting and non conventional. What I like about both pictures is that the women look so fake, they could almost be wearing a thin plastic mask over their face instead of the makeup. However, in every fight, there must be a winner and a loser. The winner for this edition of People of Walmart Vs. Celebrity Fashion Disasters is Why So Serious? fighting for the People of Walmart. Her sense of style is unparalleled. What I really liked is the way all her facial features were so defined. She looks serious and stylish. That is why she is the winner.

A Fresh View of The Paparazzi (Part 2)

In the last post, I talked some about the paparazzi, and how they’re some of the most hated people in all of Hollywood. Taking pictures of people isn’t the hardest job in the world, but to do it professionally, it demands a lot of time, talent, and just plain good ol’ fashioned hard work.

Being a paparazzo is no joke. You just don’t walk around aimlessly hoping to catch a glimspe of your favorate celebrity. As a paparazzo, you’ll have a huge network of contacts, people who are in contact with the celebrity frequently, so you can keep tabs on them, and figure out where they are headed. Additionally, if it’s something really important, a paparazzo might even camp outside the celebrities home just to get the perfect shot. Now, you may be wondering if this could be considered stalking. Yes, it can, but there are a lot of loopholes in the laws and regulations that allow the paparazzi to do the things they do.

Let me give you an example. If you knew a famous celebrity was having an affair at their house, and wanted to catch them in the act, you’d probably spend a lot of time outside their house. But, if you camped outside their house for three days, it’d be considered stalking. So, to get around this, you’d campout for only two days and on the third, have a buddy come replace you for a little while, so it would not be considered stalking.

Another little loophole paparazzi will use to get their coveted pictures are helicopters. Since being on private property and taking pictures of celebrities is technically illegal, the paparazzi will get helicopters, so they can hover around in the air and get in a little closer to the action. Had they been on the ground, the probably would not be able to get the shots they need.

There are also two more sneaky, cunning, tactics that paparazzi will use to get the pictures they want. Both of them are definitely illegal, but sometimes, if the costs are less than what they’ll get for the photos, then sometimes the paparazzi will employ these tactics. Remember in elementry, middle, or even high school when someone would pull the fire alarm to get out of class? Well, sometimes the paparazzi have been known to pull the fire alarms on the sets of movies and other locations they know a celebrity is inside. Then, once the person gets outside, the paparazzo just has to start snapping away. Usually, it’s a two or more person job, as once the fire alarm is pulled all the people start to rush out, and you can get lost in the fray easily.

The final thing the paparazzi have been known to do is crash their cars into places or other cars that the celebrity is in, just to get the picture. Now, doing this can cause serious legal consequences, but, as long as the money one would get from the picture outweighs the costs, many paparazzi won’t think past it.

It can be tough working as a paparazzo. Everyone hates you, yet they love the work you do, and even try to distance themselves from the lengths that you had to go to to get those pictures. I hope this two part series gave you an interesting look at behind the scenes of the paparazzi.
