Wow, that’s pretty startling. One or two actually do look better, but the others are testament to just how bad it can get. I really feel sorry for them. I had no idea the sores would break out that much. It’s even more amazing that they can look like that after only a few months. ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > [This](http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l438/AClockworkMelon/Mug.jpg) guy looks better! I totally agree; and a couple of others as well. I tend to be attracted to thin people, so that’s part of it . . . although I’m NOT attracted to blotchy skin, red eyes or missing teeth. ---

> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > Yeah, OK, this is the one I was curious about. How do you wind up with a Popeye like that? What causes that? Probably uneven rotting of the teeth, or she’s got some jaw damage from smoking it on one side of her mouth exclusively. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > Is the last one, #21, \*really \*the same person? It looks like the two photos are of totally different ethnicities, there’s no resemblance at all. Look at the eyebrows, look at the ears, the bridge of the nose. It’s the same person. ---

> [@Max\_Torque](#): > > What, you’ve never seen the famous pic, [“The Downward Spiral”](http://www.capohedz.com/typebrighter/uploaded_images/downward_spiral-749025.jpg)? It seems that the spiral took an exponential leap between the last two pictures. The problems with her skin, weight, and teeth developed early, but I think what sent her over the edge is the phenomenon mentioned by **ZipperJJ** in post #8. ---

looks like she may be missing that eye, yikes! ---

Don’t strokes make your face droopy, though? That looks more like a permanent muscle spasm. ---

Reverse stroke then? She looks to me like she just got hauled in front of bright lights and is just squinting. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/addicts-shocking-mug-shots/572851.md?page=1)
