WTF has this girl done to herself?!? WTF was she thinking?!?
What would compel her to do such a thing? Look at her old photos (#6 in the slide show specifically). This girl was attractive, she had no reason to disfigure herself this way. I was thinking and thinking about it all afternoon and it brought back a certain memory for me.
When I went to University in my very early 20s, I discovered something about myself that I never knew before. I discovered that I was actually smart; I immersed myself in learning, achieved straight A's the whole way through and accomplished something I never knew I was capable of.
Around that time, I was talking on the phone to an X-Boyfriend and I told him that I was really proud of myself, that attending University and doing well, had allowed me to realize I was actually a very intelligent and capable person.
You know what he said to me, he told me that I could not call myself smart, that one cannot just go around labeling themselves as smart. Literally, he sneered at me through the phone in disgust implying that I was totally conceited. I remember feeling really embarrassed, as if I had committed a huge social faux paux. It haunted me for months, years actually and every time I thought of the conversation, I felt my cheeks grow red because I was ashamed of describing myself as smart.
That was years ago and since then many things have changed in my life and you know what, I now know that he was completely wrong. There is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself inside and expressing it. I am not a conceited individual but I have no problem admitting that I think I am smart and beautiful and I am not going to feel embarrassed about it. I am a strong, resourceful and intelligent woman and I am proud of it and I think knowing that allows me to feel beautiful because I know what I am capable of.
I don't have a little girl but if I did, I would tell her that she is allowed to feel proud of her achievements (I will tell my boys the same thing). That she can shout them from the rooftops and that would be ok. I would try not to go all Oprah on her ass but, I would tell her to own who she truly is and that as long as she is authentically honouring her true self, she will always be beautiful inside and out.
What Heidi Montag has done to her face and body makes me feel sick. How much do you have to hate yourself to put your body through something like that? Damn, I really hope young girls aren't looking up to her and idolizing her.
Heidi Montag, I am not a religious person, but god help you girl. Trust me, you need it.

She wrote the book "How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture". Well she probably didn't actually write it but my point is that she's just not right upstairs. So don't worry about her. Her face is the least of her troubles.
