Kylie Jenner: Here"s Why I Decided to Get Lip Fillers ...

To say that Kylie Jenner has changed a bit over the past few years would be like saying this hurricane season has been a smidge inconvenient.


Kylie is vitrually unrecognizable from her younger years.


In some photos, she looks as though she’s been entirely rebuilt from scratch, like some sort of Millennial Six Million Dollar Man, which is a reference that maybe two or three of Kylie’s 98 million Instagram followers would get.



But we don’t say any of this to disparage Kylie.


The 20-year-old grew up in a family in which cosmetic rejiggering was not only accepted but encouraged, and all through her formative years, she watched her sisters amass increasing wealth and fame, due in large part to their appearances.


What teen could possibly resist following in those footsteps?


Of course, there’s also a less pleasant reason that Kylie may have been drawn to medically altering her appearance at such a young age.


Kylie may have watched her sisters rise to unimaginable heights of fame and success, but she als saw them brutally mocked and bullied on social media, and it was treatment she likely grew to fear from a young age.



It’s easy to jibe Kylie for the many obvious ways in which her face and body have changed due to fillers, implants, nips, and tucks (and we do wish she would be more honest about these procedures for the sake of her young fans), but she grew up under public scrutiny few of us could imagine.


These days, Kylie is the star of her own reality show, and she’s more under the spotlight than ever before.


Life of Kylie is not doing well in the ratings, and it’s been savaged by critics for its hagiographic, blandly superficial look at Kylie’s efforts to expand her cosmetics empire, but the show does feature occasional moments of real insight.


On this week’s episode, for example, Kylie opened up for the first time about what motivated her to undergo lip filler treatments when she was just 15 years old:


“I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips … I [had] really small lips,” she told a therapist on the show.


She went on to detail how a comment that followed her first kiss eventually led her to seek cosmetic treatment:



“It was like one of my first kisses and a guy was like, ‘I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips,"” Kylie said, adding that she “took that really hard.”


Kylie revealed she initially attempted to correct the problem with cosmetics:


“I would overline my lips with lip liner just to create the illusion of bigger lips,” she told the therapist, adding:


“Finally I was like, ‘This lip liner isn’t doing it."”


Yes, as so often the case with this sort of thing, Kylie’s pursuit of physical perfection is the result of deep-seated insecurity, exacerbated by a painful episode in adolescence.


We all go through an awkward phase at one point or another — but few of us, given Kylie’s resources, would be able to resist the temptation of a quick fix for our perceived imperfections.

Kristen Stewart: Here"s Why I Decided to Come Out of the Closet!

Last month, Kristen Stewart hosted what may have been the best episode of SNL this season, and in a memorable monologue, she addressed Donald Trump’s obsession with Twilight in general and with her in particular.


Stewart concluded by addressing the Donald directly, and informing the president that he’s barking up the wrong tree, as she’s “like, so gay.”


It was a proud moment for the LGBTQ community, as it wasn’t all that long ago that a celebrity informing a sitting president of her sexual orientation on live TV would have been the stuff of scandal.



While there’s much progress to be made, in 2017 such moments are widely applauded, a fact that activists and allies alike can take as one of the latest in the long line of victories that serve as signposts on the road to equality.


While Stewart has never hidden her sexual orientation from fans, she rarely discusses her personal life in the press.


However, it seems she’s willing to make an exception when the opportunity to send an important message in a poignant way arises.


Stewart addressed the issue of her love life in a recent interview with People magazine, discussing, among other things, why she never chose to talk about her post-Pattinson relationships in the past.


“I didn’t talk about my first relationships that went public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine,” Stewart told the magazine.



“I hated it that details of my life were being turned into a commodity and peddled around the world.”


Stewart says there was a time when she would have been content to keep her private life as private as possible for rest of her life.


However, the actress experienced a change of heart upon realizing how many young people she could make feel less alone simply by sharing her own story:


“Considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me,” Stewart said.


“It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.”



Stewart says her breakup up with Robert Pattinson left her wary of the press, but in recent years, she began to feel that it’s her responsibility to use her platform for good:


“If it didn’t seem like a relevant topic, like something that needed help, I would have kept my life private forever,” she said.


“When I was dating Rob, the public was the enemy — and that is no way to live. It wasn’t this grand statement, ‘I was so confused! Now I’ve realized who I am!’ I have not been struggling.”


Post-Twilight, Stewart has remained one of the most sought-after and celebrated talents in Hollywood, and it seems clear that she has every intention of remaining a role model to young people living on the fringes of society.


And Donald Trump is just gonna have to deal with it…
