Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

Deep Pencil - November 2008

Never had plastic surgery?

November 6th 2008 15:33

Have you ever looked at Dr Phil's wife close up?

Robin McGraw is almost always in the audience of his shows and she is usually filmed walking backstage with him hand in hand as the show finishes.

Robin McGraw was in the audience in a show i watched recently where he was trying to persuade young girls that plastic surgery would not fix their self-esteem problems. I actually agree with him on this one. But when they panned to his wifes face i thought "gee thats a bit hypocritical!"

Apparently Robin claims to have never had plastic surgery, but i just dont know what else could explain her face looking so plastic?

Robin has never had plastic surgery, but she has found some non-surgical options that she says can make it look like you've had a face-lift. She's so enthusiastic about one treatment called ReFirme that she's sitting Rach down in the chair to give it a try!

You can't fault her on her hair though.

Ha-Ha well Morgan Dr. Phil is perhaps one of TV's all time BIGGEST HYPOCRITES! But where do you start? He's not even allowed to practice in his home state (where he went to Uni).

I think sometimes though, celebrities in the US like to make them selves look plastic even when they've not had a nip or tuck. It's the PLATINUM WHITE teeth, the beauty pageant hair, the botox...

In Ronin's case though, well I dare say she's had to WORKS!

Do you know what annoys me the most about this. Her and her ridiculous husband are always banging on about self-esteem issues etc. There is NO WAY that woman has not had plastic surgery. It is physically impossible for a woman of her age to have no frown lines, crows feet or lines of the nasolabial folds without intervention and there is no cream or potion on the market that can eradicate it. Plus she has the classic 'pulled tight' surgery look and the lack of expression caused by way too much botox and fillers such as collagen.

By denying surgery he is creating an unrealistic image which is a direct reason for women having low self-esteem issues.

I have no problem with people having a bit of maintenance done but why not admit it? And for someone who does what she does for a living, it's disgraceful.

Wow, that was a long winded bitch wasn't it?

I have watched quite a bit of Dr Phil show. And, God, he can be so patronizing but he is is usually right on the mark. Many times I have seen Robyn and said (to my 14 year-old son who switches on the show) - "She's definitely had plastic surgery" so I was very surprised and half disbelieving when I saw the show that you are talking about, Morgan. Her face definitely has that "look" however, she swore she hadn't had it and she didn't appear to be lying. I came to the conclusion that she has had botox/collagen/whatever treatment via injection and, obviously, re-capped teeth. Strictly speaking 'surgery' just means being cut. Injecting foreign substances into your body is not sugery. I think she looks weird. I find that issue hypocritical on so many levels and I agree with Cheryl that she should admit it. Thay are all for openness and honesty aren't they?

What's up with her top lip? Is it stapled to her teeth?

Awwww, there's nothing you can say to make me stop watching Dr Phil....the man is common sense himself, and for America, that's not a bad thing!!

hi Norm,
oh her hair is gorgeous and perfect, i can easily concede that!

hi alt_ed,
you raise an interesting point, maybe Robin doesnt consider that botox and collagen come under the banner of "plastic surgery" . . . maybe she can lie under a technicality . . . i would love to see someone ask her about specific procedures!

hi Cheryl,
well ive always thought of you as a long winded bitch! haha

nah, i actually think you are spot on with this one, the problem isnt whether she has had it done or not, the problem is that impressionable people watch her on the day everyday and are presented with an unattainable body image . . . its just adding to low self esteem!
thanks for telling us straight!

David, that's the collagen lip effect. Really natural isn't it?

hi Mister Smith,

Strictly speaking 'surgery' just means being cut. Injecting foreign substances into your body is not sugery. I think she looks weird.

yes, i think you could be right there!
i still think it looks like shes had an eye-lift, and i still think the whole thing is terribly dishonest!
thanks for stopping in and sharing your analysis!

hi David,
BAHAHAhahaha ahhhhh that was a LOL moment!
stapled to her teeth!
its funny cos its true!
shes gone a bit overboard with the collagen hey

hi Sandwich Shak,
hey im a regular viewer of Dr Phil myself!
i dont agree with him all the time but its usually interesting viewing!
i just found that his stance on plastic surgery obviously did not apply to his wife!

Cheryl,

Hahahaha. About as natural as French kissing a woman with braces?

Morgan,

This collagen? Does it come in staple form? I've seriously got no idea. Can you use an office stapler? She'd look a lot better with a couple of A4 documents stapled to her forehead.

hi Cheryl,
is it just me or does collagen NEVER seem to look good?

hi David,
who knew people would pay to have a hare lip!
this woman should never be let loose in an office environment!

Yeah she has some electro-something procudure. Whatever, she still looks plastic. IMO age shows character, experience and hopefully wisdom, so why everyone's off to look like a blank canvas I'll never know.

Just another thought...So many (esp. American) acresses/entertainers/etc DO look weirdly plastic and some look downright creepy. What about the wife of that Visy cardboard guy (forget the name)? Yikes! Cher looks like a doll (and not in a good way) and Priscilla Presley looks a total fright. What I find disturbing is that these women are often complimented on their youthful appearance - by the media and by other women. Do women really prefer 'fake' to 'old' or are they just being nice or are they so lacking in self-esteem discernment that they put the phony glamour above themselves.

hi Wynona,
haha blank canvas . . . great description!
i really like your outlook on the subject, facial lines can look really beautiful, i think they show on the face of someone who has loved and laughed alot - i dont know why these women want to remove all of them!

hi Mister Smith,
i think the most shocking is probably Joan Rivers!
but i agree with your examples also
i thought it was quite funny when Goldie Hawn basically appeared as a parody of herself in Firsy Wives Club with the trout pout!

Hey guys, everyone here has limited their criticisms and their examples of plastc surgery to women. Think about our own Bert Newton. Now that's a pretty tragic example of plastic surgery gone wrong if ever I have seen one.

Apologies for those outside of Australia because they won't even know who I am talking about.

Oh my God, what about Burt Reynolds?? He looks like his face was caught in the bus doors. Eeeek.

I for one, am proud of my wrinkles, it took me many years to earn them. They show that I laugh and smile a lot and that I have also frowned much through pain. My life is etched out for the world to see and I don't care. I like looking like a human. I would however prefer that my arse was a separate entity to the back of my knees but you can't have everything and gravity is taking hold hahahaha.

hi Cheryl,
maybe we could get a collection entirely of Bu[/e]rts? haha
i think a small (medium, large) amount of alcohol applied librally to your liver tends to keep a person well preserved . . . and you, my dear, are a total knockout!
