Swans and Ugly Ducklings

Did anyone happen to catch the Swan pageant last night? I have to admit, I'm strangely obsessed with that show. Most of the time, the ladies end up looking like drag queens, and I can't help but wonder who the hell gussies them up for their "unveilings" -- Beetlejuice? But once in a blue moon, there will be one who is actually semi-attractive.

And she is the one who won the pageant last night.

I can't get over the veneers that Sherri, the dentist lady, puts on all of the women. They look hideous, never seem to fit the mouths they're put in and cause the ladies to lisp as if they're wearing retainers. Ick! And they're some unnatural, nuclear shade of white that probably glows in the dark and emits radiation.

Watching a show like that sure turns me off of plastic surgery of any kind. The women never really look "good" after their procedures, just slightly less bad.

Anyhow, I'm already anxiously awaiting the next season. It's like the ultimate train wreck/car crash that I just can't peel myself away from.

Anyone else?
