Another foolish surgical procedure.

Instagram model left partially blind after controversial surgery to change eye color | Fox News

Quote:
An Instagram model who underwent a controversial procedure to change the color of her eyes says she now has the sight of a 90-year-old after it went wrong.

Nadinne Bruna, 32, lost 80 percent of her vision in her right eye and 50 percent in her left eye after opting for surgery to insert silicone implants to change their color.

The procedure is not approved in the U.S., so Bruna flew to Bogota, Colombia, in the hope of changing her hazel eyes to a light grey color.

“Nadinne’s eye problems are something she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. She’s never going to be done with it,” she said.
Wow... I know of people who have been dealing with congenital eye problems their whole lives, and they have these conditions through no fault of their own, they were born with them. I don't feel sorry for her. She ought to be lamenting her colossal stupidity and overblown vanity.

What was wrong with going with coloured contact lenses? I have zero sympathy for her really bad decision making skills.

What the **** is an “Instagram model?” Someone who takes a bunch of half nudes and fishes for likes and subscribers to boost her ego? Most self-proclaimed “models” of that ilk that I’ve encountered are dumb, self-absorbed bimbos who are never satisfied with their looks.

Translation: Wasn't good enough to be a real model so they take risque shots of themselves and post to Instagram and get paid a few dollars and lots of "likes" which really strokes their egos.

Daddy didn't give her enough attention most likely.

I think a lot of Instagram models actually get paid more than traditional models... and they don't have to sleep with every show promoter to get a gig.

Similar to a C-D poster. But with more photos.
Posts their "self-important" thoughts on C-D fishing for rep points and responses but aren't important enough to have anyone really care.

Ummm..... no. At least to the second half. The abuse and prostituting of oneself for these IG models is rampant.

But whatever. If you're fully consenting adults, that's on you.

Does anyone really care about C-D "rep" points? I enjoy perusing through the forums because there are often interesting discussions, as well as advice on things such as automotive, food, places to go, etc. I doubt most posters here are really looking for any type of "reputation."
