This idea has been floated for a while, but this last episode made me want to circulate a petition. We need to get Stacey and Darcey on Unbotched or give them their own special in which they try to undo some of the work and embrace their natural beauty. Their faces have been that distinct “no real human looks like this”-plastic-surgery-face for a while, but this last episode of HEA made me especially sad.
They’re just so goddamn ”puffy;” head to toe, they just look kind of swollen. I’d be fascinated and watch every minute of a makeover show with them that undid a lot of plastic surgery and had them lean into health, fitness, and nutrition. Tbh I think it would be inspiring and be a good example of accessible ways to preserve and improve one’s natural beauty and health generally (and deal with the emotional piece of aging when one believes that their value as a woman and person is determined in large part by their appearance).
Sorry if this is too optimistic. It does seem like they’ve lost all sight of what they look like, and they seek agency in dealing with their feelings of not being young and beautiful enough by getting work done. But I think an Unbotched / undoing some
of the work and focus on fitness and nutrition for these two would be fantastic TV and also an opportunity to talk through the motivations and insecurities that led them to getting all the work done.
