Cosmetic Drugs
a: Cosmetic surgery ~
b: gateway drug
What: "For some celebrities it seems that their first cosmetic surgery is like a gateway drug, leading to a myriad of procedures. Often-times celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Goldie Hawn no longer look like themselves, let alone human. If you consider that a face lift averages $6000, a nose job $4000, and a forehead lift $3000, the multiple procedures celebrities undergo aren't cheap - at least not to those of us who live in a place called reality."

What: "Trying to treat poor self-esteem with cosmetic surgery is like trying to treat gangrene with a band-aid. The only way to truly heal is to cut out the rot."

Contrast Is Important
a: Cosmetic surgery ~
b: painting the bathroom
What: "I think cosmetic surgery is like painting the bathroom. It just makes the rest of the house look worse. If I were to start getting things lifted, I'd have to do an entire body lift and can you imagine how painful that would be?"
