My mom has an insecure friend. Nice lady, but she spends money like there's no tomorrow to fix something that's broken on the inside. Buys houses and furniture and lavish vacations without a second thought. She's gone through thousands and thousands of dollars worth of mattresses that just weren't quite right, a la the princess and the pea--or Goldilocks, I guess.
It never quite occurs to her that no matter how much she buys, she can't quite fill up that empty hole.
Lately, her attention and her bank account have focused on her face.
She had a facelift a few years ago. It really didn't do anything but give her nerve damage. She can't feel the top of her head anymore.
Recently, she saw a picture of herself in which she couldn't really see one of her earlobes very well.
One picture + one earlobe = one more trip to the plastic surgeon
She went in for a meeting and, of course, decided to have a little more done, y'know, while he's in there.
Total price?
$12,000 (if you add that to the first botched surgery, it's over $20 grand)
All because she couldn't quite see one earlobe in one photo.
Mind blowing.
Insecurity is expensive.
She can pay me to make her feel insecure.
