Swedish Steel

I always thought a neat idea for a website is it profile people who've had personal makeovers due to some tragedy or scandal. You know, everyday people suddenly thrust into the spotlight.

Of course, I've only been able to think of a couple people that fit into this category.

Now what brought this into my mind was I saw some lame-ass Dateline special with Matt Lauer interviewing Scott Peterson's half-sister. Of course, I can only think of Amber's transformation from


Saturday morning hangover look to >

an Alien.

Example number two is everyone's favorite hag, and she's gone full circle...


Ugly Duckling to

Bride of Frankenstein to


to... is that Michael Jackson?? to


my Junior High Librarian.

I don't feel bad for Linda Tripp because she's a loser, and Amber is just a gullible slut.

Now it's the people I really feel for, that bypass the tragedy/scandal induced makeover.

This poor guy saw his mother killed by the BTK killer when he was five. When I saw him on CNN he was wearing his Jagermeister t-shirt and sporting a mullet. He doesn't care what he looks like on tv, none of that matters to him. He's not going to write a book.


Fred Goldman was on tv every night for year and never trimmed that ridiculous mustache.
