Are Pete Burns, Leslie Ash and Courtney Love not enough of a walking advert for why not to have lip injections? It seems not for one disillusioned nail technician who has spent over $6000 on her pout in a bid to resemble cartoon character Jessica Rabbit.
Kristina Rei Gets 100 Lip Injections To Resemble Jessica Rabbit
Are Pete Burns, Leslie Ash and Courtney Love not enough of a walking advert for why not to have lip injections? It seems not for one disillusioned nail technician who has spent over $6000 on her pout in a bid to resemble cartoon character Jessica Rabbit.
Having had her first injection at 17, Kristina Rei, now 22, has had at least 100 injections to date, according to the The Sun.
“I think I look fantastic and it makes me happy,” said Rei.
“Sometimes strangers shout names at me in the street — like big lips – but I don’t care. I want to go more extreme. I want to look like a cartoon character.
“I am addicted to it – I love it.”
Rei went on to reveal that she has wanted big lips since she was just four, having seen cosmetic surgery enhancements advertised on TV.
“My big lips have helped boost my confidence – even my parents are happy for me. They really don’t care about my appearance. Some of my friends have told me I shouldn’t go any bigger, but I’m not satisfied yet.
“I’m definitely not going to stop now,” she said, adding that she feels her lips are “definitely too small at the moment.”
Indeed Roger Rabbit’s seductive wife Jessica Rabbit is often dubbed the world’s most alluring animated character, but mimicking a cartoon screams body dysmorphia, never mind the fact that Rei has unwittingly achieved a closer resemblance to The Little Mermaid’s Flounder.
And more shockingly, it doesn’t stop there – Rei said she wants to have more body parts modified as soon as she can. “When I can afford it, I want to enlarge my breasts from a C-cup to a DD, change the shape of my nose and … make my ears pointed like an elf. It’s good to be different.”
Talent Management hopes this troubled young girl seeks help before she becomes the next tragic ‘plastic surgery gone wrong’ victim.
