Location: Lady Gaga's Inspiration
When you think of bad or excessive plastic surgery you think of celebs like Joan Rivers and Bruce Jenner. Now, I've added someone else to my celebrity lexicon of bad "work". Orlan is a contemporary artists who first gained recognition in the 60's with her rule bending 'carnal art'. Trust, me, this goes way past rolling in an egg to The Grammy's or wearing a meat suit. When you widen your brow to look like the Mona Lisa, mutilate your body not for beauty but for art, implant horns under your scull, then decorate those said mounds with glitter, you are hard core! Orlan's work has inspired many, most recently, Lady Gaga who said she was thinking about getting horn implants. Nina Arsenault is also a huge Orlan fan. She is a Toronto 'T-Girl" (male to female transexual) who has had several plastic surgeries in the name of beauty and art. I love Nina because there is something vulnerable about her striking appearance and work. You may not like Orlan's look but you have to respect her dedication to her art.
