PHOTO: Reader Mike shares this from his Runyon hike this morning. Caption reads “Beauty Is Just A Slice Away.” Anyone know the story on it?

What now?

Personally……….I love it.
Art reflects life. And honestly, how important is this human cattle call.
Dont get me wrong, I love the movies and the Oscars.
But I`m sure some of the actors, producers, vendors, not to mention the viewers feel somewhat devored and mauled.
Stripped as it were, after “Hollywood” gets done with them.
These pieces expose more than one would think.

These statues are awesome.Yeah slice and dice plastic surgery has gotten way out of hand,not just in Hollyood but a lot of areas of the other peoples lives. I can surelly see the plasticness of all of it when I see those will plastic surgery.Their face is tight distorted,and many other obviouse thing that these people that get this stuff done have a sickness and need to talk it out. And yes shallow people force them also into this. It’s one thing for those that have had a deformity from birth,illness,or accident,etc. Not for impressing yourself or others. It is a sickness. (you all saw it get way out of hand with Michael Jackson) All very sad… I commend this artist for setting it straight.
