Thinkerman Posted January 15, 2004 Am sure we have all heard of the Programme soon to be, or already hitting the air waves. It seems that the desire to look good, has no limits these days. It should however come as no supprise, for the masses everything is about image. You looking to Get a job, look good. Trying to sell a product, push sex. Trying to win an election....nip-n-tuck!!! well yu would be supprised. Italian Premier, Facist, Media Mogual and owner of 'Lucky team' AC Milan has been accused of having a pre-election Nip-n-Tuck ----------------------------------------------------------- Silvio Berlusconi 'has eye job' Mr Berlusconi has been out of the limelight since 20 December Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a sleek and compact 67-year-old, has had cosmetic surgery, his doctor has told an Italian newspaper. "He's had a little bit of cosmetic surgery around the eyes," La Stampa quoted Umberto Scarpagnini as saying. "Don't ask me anything more because these are private matters." Italy's richest man has not been seen in public since 20 December, spending most of his time at his luxury villa in the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. Satirists describe me as a dwarf, but I am actually 170 centimetres (five feet five inches) tall Silvio Berlusconi La Stampa said the surgery was part of planned new look for Mr Berlusconi prior to European elections in June. It added that he had undertaken a new diet and exercise regime. Hair today Mr Berlusconi is known to take a lot of care over his appearance. In the past, his election posters have been known to show him with more hair than he has in reality. Mr Berlusconi is thought to be sensitive about his height And earlier this year, the Panorama magazine - part of his media empire - touched up a shiny bald patch on the back of his head, covering it with hair. The Italian Journalists' Order began disciplinary proceedings against the magazine, in response. Italian satirists are also fond of drawing attention to Mr Berlusconi's small stature, in the belief that it embarrasses him. They show him standing on stools, wearing platform shoes, or sitting on a chair he can wind up to make it taller. High office At one recent European summit he commented: "Satirists describe me as a dwarf, but I am actually 170 centimetres (five feet five inches) tall... In my day that was considered quite tall." He once also joked, when introducing the EU High Commissioner on foreign and security policy Javier Solana: "Actually he is not that high, he is just as tall as I am!" Mr Berlusconi's prolonged absence from the limelight over Christmas and the New Year had begun to fuel rumours that he might be seriously ill. According to some reports, the European election is not the only one he may end up running in this year. Analysts have speculated that he might call snap elections before his chief rival, Romano Prodi, currently president of the European Commission is ready for them. It is also possible that his fractious coalition government could fall apart. ------------------------------------------------------------------ So how far our is the day when we will see our somali ppl result to comestic surgery to fit in. Perhaps more likely (due to financial constraints) lol is the possibilty of seeing the various duibous character that declare themselves President every now and then having a Nip-n-Tuck to help the cause no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
