If they want a nip/tuck, fine, so long as it makes them look better. But, I saw an NQC 2010 photo of Kim on a fb page and I’m sorry, but I thought, “what has she done?”…she was prettier before…she still sounds great though! And that’s what counts right?

I think the photo above is purely photo shopped, if you watch the Hoppers 2010 on youtube, it’s clear that Connie is still all natu-ral…

It’s all digital smoke & mirrors - I can get rid of anyone’s wrinkles and make them look flawless in iPhoto or PhotoShop. But in this case, I’d say someone got carried away with the “smudge” tool.

Connie just turned 70, and Kim is 43. I’ve been a big fan of the Hoppers for many years now. I’m not a huge fan of the picture in question. It does look photo shopped. I have seen the Hoppers in person recently. Both Connie and Kim look wonderful for their ages. To me, whether they have or haven’t had plastic surgery is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t change who they are or the message they are conveying. Plus, I’m sure 95% of us would have cosmetic work done if we could afford it.

While I find this torturous from start to finish, I thought y’all might appreciate it.

I think they are all vain and insane. I like my kind of job where your makeup melts off and you get soaking wet during the day from rain etc and you look about as ugly as a pit bull who got run over by a wheelbarrow and you get covered by yuck all day. At least you don’t have to spend mega bucks on plastic surgery that makes you look alienesque. I think its INSANE.

AFOAF — I didn’t see that particular gal, but I know what you’re talking about. We’ve noticed the crowd is a little on the dirty side, to a large extent.

And a little on the large side, to a dirty extent. Love ya’, mean it!

It’s pretty obvious Bill Gaither’s had “work” done on his eyes…..Mark too. Not a lot of comment on that.

If we’re gonna talk about SG performers, can we talk about SG fans? At NQC the last few years, there’s an ole girl who’s hairdo looks like a hornet’s nest. It’s got SO much shellac on it, that if one could bear to touch it, it’d probably break. I mean, it’s NASTY! My friend swears that she saw bugs crawling in it. We sat behind her at one of the showcases just long enough to hear one of our favorite groups. Anyone else see her? Her makeup was rather eccentric, as well.

The ones who say it’s no big deal, or none of our business are probably right. But that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it, and make fun of how ridiculous some of them look. The top picture of Connie makes her look a little on the anorexic side. She probably didn’t look like that in real life, when the picture was taken.

It’s no different that talking about the 80-year-old woman at church who dies her hair jet black. People need to use a little more wisdom concerning what they do for appearance sake.

Sometimes the “enhancements” just are so extreme they’re stupid. And if someone goes out in public looking stupid (celebrity or not), I’m going to take every opportunity I can to talk about it. That’s what I do.

#15- I totally agree with you. It’s just today’s culture to try to look younger than you really are, and I don’t understand why it’s an issue for SG performers, when no doubt a few of you reading this have had a little something, something done yourself..lol. I mean when you think about it, anybody that puts on makeup or dyes their hair is in the same boat as these celebs, you just haven’t had Botox or other procedures done because you can’t afford it. I believe I said it in another post, if you have something about yourself that bothers you and you have the means to fix it, then more power to you. Have at it!

Who cares! If they want to nip and tuck let them. If they want to photo shop…let them. It’s ultimately NO ONE’S business. Why is this even a topic of discussion?
Fans seem to think they are owed explanations on the decisions/actions celebrities make.

I do think the obvious diffence in the 2 pics is the appearance of about 25 pounds and a more modern hairstyle. I’ll bet Connie and John use the same stylist.
