Why does the Maga elite love conspicuous cosmetic surgery?
A group of chimpanzees in Zambia have been very busy putting grass in
their ears and sticks up their bum for fashion purposes. Scientists
studying the behaviour think that one influential chimp started the
trend and, instead of the rest of the gang going, "mate, you look like
an idiot", they all just followed suit.
Clearly we haven't evolved from apes that much because a similar
phenomenon is at play with the billionaire and Make America Great
Again (Maga) set, who are spending enormous sums of money acquiring
identical plastic faces. The trend is so widespread that it's even got
a name: Mar-a-Lago face. Among women the look is characterised by huge
lips that look as if they could suck up a small child whole, frozen
facial expressions, and cheeks so bulbous you could hide a gerbil
underneath them. Men also have the slick frozen faces, but instead of
bigger lips they're pairing them with bigger jaws. In recent years,
surgeons have reported a large increase of male clients demanding
stronger jawlines.
