Ugliest Celeberties!!!!!!!!

Jocelyn Wildenstein
 A wealthy socialite from Switzerland, Jocelyn is actually a celeb for being so ugly. Her extreme appearance has led to the press giving her the nickname The Bride of Wildenstein  a reference to The Bride of Frankenstein. Wildenstein has allegedly spent almost US $4,000,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, all payed by her husband, the billionaire international art dealer Alec Wildenstein.
I
Rock singer, songwriter, and occasional actor, he is sometimes referred to by the nicknames “the Godfather of Punk”. Iggy  was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s garage rock band who were influential in the development of the nascent heavy metal and punk rock genres. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances, during which it was not uncommon for Iggy  to leap off the stage (in fact, he was among the first to “stage dive”), smear raw meat (and on one occasion peanut butter) over his chest and/or cut himself with broken bottles. So this is how you get ugly by being nut.

3D Sidewalk Chalk Art


 Julian Beever is an English artist who has been creating 3D chalk drawings on pavements since the mid-1990s. He makes his art using a projection technique called anamorphosis. When viewed from a particular angle, this technique creates the illusion of 3D.
Beever’s “trompe l’oeil” (”trick of the eye”) chalk art is so convincing that people try to avoid potholes he has drawn in the pavement.
According to the author, the “secret is to set up a camera on a tripod and keep it in one spot and check every mark you make. It’s really just playing with perspective to make it appear different to what it really is.

The Worst Plastic Surgery Disasters


Hang Mioku, a 48 year-old woman from South Korea, became so addicted to plastic surgery that she was left unrecognisable after her obsession led her to inject cooking oil into her face. She had her first plastic surgery procedure when she was 28. Following operation after operation, her face was eventually left enlarged and disfigured, and the surgeons she visited refused to carry out any more work on her and one suggested that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder. So Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face. It became so grotesquely large that she was called “standing fan” by children in her neighbourhood – due to her large face and small body.
As Hang’s notoriety spread she was featured on Korean TV. Viewers seeing the report took mercy on her and sent in enough donations to enable her to have surgery to reduce the size of her face. During the first procedure surgeons removed 60g of foreign substance from Hang’s face and 200g from her neck. After several other sessions her face was left greatly reduced but still scarred and disfigured.
