I am really good at recognizing faces but every time I see a new pic of this lady I’m, "who the fuck is this?"
But the answer seems to be, a racist asshole.
To be fair, with all the work she's had done she probably does look different every time you see her.
She's only 31.
Let that sink in.
That sink won't come in.
It's scared of whatever she did to her face.
Her face is fascinatingly odd and . . upsetting.
BBC, don’t get played, man. That restraint you show with “self-styled” is just creaking terribly. Personally I would have gone with “considers herself” or “claims to be . . . despite [the obvious]”. Yeah yeah “objective”, look whatever you gotta tell yourself, man.
Self-styled means “that’s what she calls herself”. Otherwise they would not include the qualifier.
It’s also a “journalistically accepted” way to say “no she isn’t” while allowing that yes, she may be. My point is that they should lean harder into flat-out saying “no she isn’t”.
