I have asked guests on a blog about “stupid love stories” which was titled “Newlywed Bank Robbers” to share their most interesting live stories. Well, bloggers and guests you all responded and I was left amazed, shocked and laughed a little. To kick of the series, I decided to start with a story that really left me amazed at what people would do for love. It’s sad but I think you will be equally freaked out by this women’s tale.
The StoryJocelyn grew up in a middle class family in Switzerland. There she became a skilled hunter and pilot. She eventually met and married billionaire art collector Alec Wildenstein. Marriage was difficult. Though Jocelyne tried as hard as she could, it was sometimes a thankless task to jolly her husband out of his somber moods. The only consolations, it seemed, were the lions in his private jungle and his priceless art collection. When Alec's eye began to wander after many years of marriage, Jocelyne grew jealous and believed that drastic measures were called for.
Pushing fifty and insecure about her looks, Jocelyne visited a renowned plastic surgeon. She wanted to revitalize her appearance in order to recapture the Alec she was so desperately in love with. The first surgeries were successful. This happy state of affairs lasted quite some time, and Jocelyne had the feeling that things were once again back on an even keel. So it was with both shock and sadness that she learned Alec wanted to sleep with other women. Not knowing what to do, a desperate Jocelyne formulated a plan that was so audacious in its daring that she may be forgiven for failing to see its drawbacks.
Jocelyne realized that Alec loved his jungle estate, and the cats that inhabited it, more than anything else in life. So armed with this information, she returned to her plastic surgeon with an unusual request: She wanted to be transformed into one of the giant Cats that Alec loved so much. Though surprised at this unorthodox request, the surgeon did his best to comply.
I know you wondering what did the surgeon do? Well stop wondering… here is picture form.
After countless surgeries - no one can say with certainty just how many - Jocelyne the Swiss beauty disappeared, and "The Queen Of The Jungle" took her place. Jocelyne's appearance was indeed striking. The first time Alec saw his new wife, it is said he screamed at the sudden appearance of this creature that confronted him. Naturally, Jocelyne was disappointed, and returned to her plastic surgeon for more work. It is rumored that several prospective patients ran screaming from the office, so concerned were they that they would end up looking like Jocelyne. As the reader may well imagine, this did nothing to improve the poor socalite's anxiety. However, Jocelyne persevered, and hasn't stopped to this day. When questioned as to the precise number and types of surgeries she's had, she merely replies with a smile "no more or less than any other woman".
After countless surgeries - no one can say with certainty just how many - Jocelyne the Alpine beauty disappeared, and "The Queen Of The Jungle" took her place. Her lips had been enlarged, and her face pulled back at the eyes to simulate a cat-eye effect. Jocelyne's appearance was indeed striking - especially as she had had her pigment darkened as well. The first time Alec saw his new wife, it is said he screamed at the sudden appearance of this startling creature that confronted him. Indeed, court documents of the divorce proceedings reveal that he said he "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". Naturally, Jocelyne was disappointed, and returned to her plastic surgeon for more work. It is rumored that several prospective patients ran screaming from the office, so concerned were they that they would end up looking like Jocelyne. As the reader may well imagine, this did nothing to improve the poor socialite’s anxiety. However, massing her ample reserves of courage, Jocelyne persevered, and hasn't stopped to this day. When questioned as to the precise number and types of surgeries she's had, she merely replies with a smile "no more or less than any other woman".
Just to give you perspective on the subject, an informal poll of 20,000 plastic surgeons in 84 countries asked which celebrity body parts were the most requested.
Some of the results:1. Angelina Jolie was the overwhelming choice for most requested smile and lips, followed by Julia Roberts.
2. Jolie's eyes and cheeks were also the most requested.
3. The most requested buttocks: Jennifer Lopez
4. The most requested breasts: Pamela Anderson
5. The nose everyone wants: Nicole Kidman (sorry Ashlee Simpson!)
6. The most requested male abs: Brad Pitt, followed by Matthew McConaughey
7. Many people also requested Brad Pitt's nose, eyes, chin, buttocks, lips, cheeks, and forehead.
8. A significant percentage of people request NOT to look like Pam Anderson, Dolly Parton, or Victoria Beckham.
