I’ve never had more than a sip of beer, used a fake ID or been drunk, so _I’ll_ say it: they’re drunks. Are we good now?

This is an awful lot of fuss over a casual joke. Jeez. :rolleyes:

I don’t think she’s had plastic surgery-all of her major features still look the same. She just got a good haircut and she learned how to wear makeup. Plus, she’s always had a nice body so it all comes together for something quite cute. Besides, my ex-boyfriend’s friends went to highschool with her and they told him that she’s not very photogenic but her personality + looks IRL make her an extremely attractive person.

My sister and I were both really cute kids and about eleven or so we blossomed into a state of ugliness that was absolutely unbelievable. Complete with braces, plastic glasses and just all around hideousness. My sister is now the spitting image of Audrey Tatou-who may not be the most beautiful woman in the world but is certainly quite attractive and I didn’t come out looking so bad either and neither of us had any plastic surgery. But the difference is really striking for both of us-my highschool classmates barely recognize me on the street.

I agree, I don’t think it’s plastic surgery. She just got rid of that rat’s nest of a hairdo, and grew up. I never thought I’d say this (REALLY!!!) but Chelsea is a babe!

How can any of you say she hasn’t had plastic surgery? How do you explain that extra head growing out of her right shoulder?

I agree and apologise and withdraw any comment made that denigrates the Bush twins. Since addiction seems to be heriditary, I hope they both turn out okay and avoid the problems that have beset the rest of their family. They should be judged on their own merits in the fullness of time. As to becoming public figures, they seem to be on the brink of crossing that threshold, so we’ll see on that soon enough. Sorry I’m a bit cranky today, I’ve been biting off heads left and right IRL.

Oh, c’mon **Chefguy**. There’s a _huge_ difference between plastic surgery and straight-up mad science!

One of my best friends was a late bloomer. In high school she looked almost exactly like Miss Clinton, but with darker hair. Now in her mid 20’s she looks pretty damn good. Both she and her younger sister had a two-cycle growth phase. During middle school(grades 7-9) they were generally very attractive with clear skin, nice hair and developing nicely. In high school the hormones kicked the complexion between wind and water, oiled up the hair, made them awkward physically and gave them both nasally, high-pitched voices. In young adulthood they have both flowered very nicely. The voices became smoother, the acne went away, the hair became more manageable and they grew into their bodies. Now both of them would be considered a catch by most standards. Having known two women in virtually the same situation I was expecting Miss Clinton to turn heads when she reached young adulthood. I am not suprised in the least to see she is a stunning figure today.

Helps us all to appreciate the late bloomers I think.

Enjoy,  
Steven

You guys are looking at the wrong person in that photo! Chelsea is the one behind the blonde, reading her little pamphlet. Notice the hair and lips.

Chelsea has always been my favorite Clinton. She does indeed look great and I’m happy for her that she does. I remember the Limbaugh comment and the SNL insults. She was thirteen at the time. What a time in life to have people in the national media making fun of the way you look! I was furious at Rush and at SNL at the time, and seeing her turn out well scholastically and emotionally is great, and it’s even better that she’s turning out to be so damn attractive. She can look those schmucks in the face and laugh.

But then again, her parents…:smack:

Why are we talking about Chelsea when CNN announced this morning that the Olsen twins turned 18 today?

I agree she looks great. In the big picture, face-on. However, if you look at the second smaller picture going down the side… meh. Nothing a nose job and maybe some lipo or tightening or something on the chin/neck wouldn’t fix.

More offensive than saying torture wasn’t such a bad thing? :dubious:

I think she looks fine, but the big difference is her hair. Someone finally gave her a grownup hairstyle.

Yes. His torture comment was wrong and stupid, but impersonal. His comments about Chelsea were made at precisely the time her ego would have been most vulnerable and susceptible to long-term damage.

Of course, I’ve been a 13-year-old girl called a “dog”; maybe if I’d been a torture victim instead I’d take a different view.
