The celebrity body or “la déformation professionnelle”

Back in the day, a celebrity tried to look sleek. Interesting, at least good, when they expected to be photographed. For instance, when Jacky O. walked down fifth avenue, her loafers looked stainless, her hair fresh like a flower bouquet, her smile like a wise woman. Her flared leg trousers had the right angle, so paparazzo Ron Galella could shoot her right. Jacky might have known, that she would end up in a book by Rezzoli, later on. So what happens to celebrity bodies today?  They seem to need extensions. Breasts (many) bottoms (Kardashian) lips (even more then many). We got that. They all got bigger over the years, we can handle that. Since a couple of days, we see the next level of enlargement happening, something like a “déformation professionnelle”, a “job conditioning” to get noticed. The current, desperate celebrity is not daccord with a human body any more. In our case, Boris Becker and Lady Gaga, who feel the urge to enlarge their head. (Do they think that’s clever?) The two of them end the era of getting noticed or photographed because of beauty, maybe elegance or visible pain in a face, that just goes through something. (Divorce, death, loss of leading part in a movie ect). Gaga and Becker destroy the human celebrity. Someone should call them and tell them before aliens pick them up.
