Well... I think there could be an argument that it's just like capping your teeth, or putting on makeup, dieing your hair... etc. But I think it's the measure they go to and the reason they feel like they have to do something so drastic.
Now that is true, Like the cat lady , when I first saw her on TV, I was blown away by what she did to herself, operation after operation to look like a cat. Well she achieved it.
Jocelyn Wildenstein, born Jocelynnys Dayannys da Silva Bezerra otherwise known as Jocelyn Cano (August 5, 1940, in Lausanne, Switzerland) is a wealthy socialite who has frequently been seen in the tabloid press because of her numerous cosmetic surgeries.[1][2] Her appearance has led to the press giving her a lot of nicknames. Wildenstein has reportedly spent $4,000,000 (£2,746,216) on cosmetic surgery over the years[3]. In 2004 she was named the world's scariest celebrity on British tabloid the Daily Mail's website.[4] Talk show host Craig Ferguson often uses a photo of her as part of a comedy bit on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, proclaiming her picture to be that of singer Kenny Rogers, who has also undergone plastic surgery.
Jocelyn grew up in a wealthy family of Brazilian ancestry in Lausanne, Switzerland where she became a skilled hunter and pilot, which led to her being invited to a shooting weekend at the 66,000 acres private Kenyan game reserve of billionaire international art dealer Alec Wildenstein, son of Daniel Wildenstein, the owner of Wildenstein & Co., one of the world's largest and most successful art conglomerates. Within a year, Jocelyn and Alec were married in Las Vegas. The couple became famous for their lavish, extravagant lifestyle, allegedly spending as much as $1,000,000 monthly. In interviews, she admitted to purchasing gowns worth $350,000. They maintained several homes, including a five-story townhouse on Park Avenue in New York, a house in Lausanne, a Paris flat, a French château; a Caribbean beach house; and the Kenyan ranch. The couple had two children. A lover of exotic animals, Jocelyn kept a capuchin monkey which traveled with the couple on their private jet, and a pack of five Italian greyhounds. She is known to have received several silicone injections to the lips, cheeks, and chin along with a facelift and eye reconstruction to appear more "feline". Her eyelids were pulled up and back, giving them a more feline shape. This is also why she has been given the nickname "the real cat woman".
After many years of marriage, Alec allegedly began an affair. In response, around the age of 50, Jocelyn began undergoing a series of plastic surgeries. Alec began an affair with a Russian fashion model, and pointed a gun at his wife when she confronted him, for which he was briefly jailed. Divorce proceedings were initiated, but neither partner would agree to vacate the New York townhouse that was their main home, and they drew up a plan dividing the premises. Jocelyn found her retinue of servants reduced to one, and was denied access to the jet. She sued Alec for $200 million, and tens of millions in art and homes. She also demanded interim support of $200,000 per month. According to court documents of the divorce proceedings, Alec said that "
couldn't even recognize my own wife up close. She seems to think that you fix a face the same way you fix a house." Jocelyn was ultimately awarded tens of millions of dollars in the divorce. She also auctioned an estimated $10 million of jewelry given to her by Alec and devoted herself to New York social life. In July 2000, the couple reportedly reunited. However, by 2008, she was in a relationship with the fashion designer Lloyd Klein, according to an interview the two gave on Entertainment Tonight. Alec Wildenstein died on 18 February 2008 from cancer.
