Love Letter to Tara Reid

Dear Tara Reid,

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing the story of your struggle, depression, and medical foul play.  As someone who has suffered through the trials and tribulations of a bad haircut, I can tell you that I understand the emotional and physical scars that a botched beauty job can leave behind.  Life just isn't the same afterwards.  You're constantly wondering if people are staring, if they notice, if your shirt will fall off and expose your wayward nipple, I know!

When I got my bothced haircut, I cried for days.  Life didn't seem livable anymore.  I had to quit working, I couldn't wear a bikini anymore, no one wanted to ask me out.

I should have done my research.  I should have made sure my stylist was board certified!  Do you know that anyone can cut hair??  You don't actually have to be a licensed stylist in the state of Illinois to cut someone's hair!  I didn't know that, but now I do.  I hope others can learn from our mistakes.

You have taught me that it is possible to find joy and happiness after a massive botched beauty job.  Just when I thought my life was spiraling out of control and that I'd never see the light again, I see your shiny, happy face on the cover on US Weekly and on the Today Show, and then this morning as co-host of my favorite show, The View, reminding everyone that there IS life again.  Tara, you are an inspiration!  After everything you've been through--the public humilation that wasn't your fault at all and the loss of income and the deterioration of your image and reputation--you've pulled yourself together and are now starring in the first full-length straight-to-internet horror movie, which I know will be a smash hit and will catapult your star higher and faster than any other actress alive today including Jennifer Aniston and also Tori Spelling!!

Thanks for coming public with your story, Tara.  I know so many more people will do their research now before they get boob jobs and haircuts and fake tans and manicures.  Bad things can happen to people!  But they don't have to.  And if they do, why, you're living proof that life can AND DOES go on.  Thank you for your strength of character.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Tara Reid.

Your fan,

Wendy

I feel inspired! That was really touching.

Poor Tara. And, to add insult to injury this was recently posted...

I guess that is the recourse for being known as the most obnoxious drunk in town...

Hmm..so I'm curious to know what exactly got botched! I know people love to make fun of her, and she does seem skanky, but honestly she's a very pretty girl. Was it a bad boob job?

[citywendy]

Yes, it was a bad boob job and bad lipo. Whatever, people can feel bad for her and that's fine, but she's parading herself around as the ultimate victim and goes on and on about how bad her scars were, etc. I dunno, it's hard for me to feel so bad for her when she had so many resources. She could have done her homework and found a good surgeon. And her scars? I bet there are plenty of masectomy patients who'd trade their scars for hers.

[Laura]

I'm with ya Wendy. She's pathetic.

[Jenny]

I'm mystified as to why she got lipo and fake abs. Can she not pull herself out of bed at noon and go to Bally's or something? It's not like she's busying memorizing Shakespeare for her next acting job. The fake boobs, well, to each their own but fake abs? That's just insanity.

Hi Wendy,
I have a seriously great hair stylist (if you're willing to trust anyone with your beautiful red locks!)
Let me know if you'd like contact info. He's in Lakeview.

I realize this might sound really bitchy, but, oh well:

Not to mention she's like what? 25. Get on a fucking eliptical for cripe's sake and do some sit ups! It's not like she was in terrible shape before this, she's more than capable.

Poor Tara and her melted belly. At least we'll always have the Big Lebowski...
