Tattoos That Are Furniture-Inspired

Would You Wear Your Furniture on Your Sleeve? (Or Stomach, Or Knuckles?)
by Amy Preiser

Have trouble committing to a piece of furniture? These people certainly didn't. And we can't help but admire their design-influenced tattoos.

We don't spend much time looking at tattoos. But when we noticed Marc Jacobs' sofa tattoo and then learned that actor/prankster Andy Milonakis had a side table inked on his arm, we decided to do some research.


Who knew so many design lovers wanted to share their obsession with the world? Check out some of our favorites:


It's competing chair lovers. On the left: An Eames Wire chair tattoo. On the right, tattoo artist Nick Baxter's "More Chairs."



On the left, Natalia Fabia shows off a dramatic chandelier tattoo. On the right, a tribute to mid-century modern chairs from Butterfat Tattoos.



Going a little more highbrow, this woman shows her love for Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic glass windowpanes.y


And one very, very devoted IKEA lover makes us giggle a little. Think he gets a discount for this ink?

What do you think -- would you ever get a furniture tattoo?

Surgeon: 'No idea' why commissioner's sister died at Strax

By Bob LaMendola

The cosmetic surgeon who performed a minor procedure on the sister of a Broward County commissioner said Wednesday he has "absolutely no idea" what went wrong during the operation before her death last week.

Rony Wendrow, 61, was in good health, passed a pre-surgery medical screening and had been through plastic surgery before with the same anesthesia used during the procedure, Dr. Harold M. Bass said.

"We had just started. The case was going so beautifully and all of a sudden she had a cardiac [emergency]," Bass said. "In all honesty, I have absolutely no idea what happened. We have no clue at all. … I truly believe it wasn't anything we did or didn't do in the surgery room."

Broward County medical examiners said they have not determined the cause of her death and are awaiting test results.

Wendrow, a retired Tamarac teacher and sister of Commissioner Ilene Lieberman, went to Strax Rejuvenation and Aesthetics Institute on May 16 to have her neck and eyelids tightened, Bass said. He called it a minor operation that typically takes 30 to 40 minutes.

Bass said he gave her a local-acting anesthesia that left her groggy but conscious, one he had used before on her and others with no complications. He said the dosage was normal.

He said he had just started operating on her neck when she developed breathing problems. While a Strax emergency team attended to her, she developed heart problems, Bass said. Wendrow was rushed to Florida Medical Center, where she died on May 19.

"I'm extraordinarily upset about her passing," Bass said. "I knew her for 23 years. She was a wonderful, wonderful lady."

Bass, a surgeon for 28 years, has no record of disciplinary action by the state. State insurance records show he settled two medical malpractice cases in 2008 and 2001.

Wendrow's family is grieving and does not want to comment on her death at this time, Lieberman said Wednesday.

Wendrow is the fourth patient to die in connection with cosmetic procedures at Strax, a busy surgery office in Lauderhill. Bass is one of 14 surgeons who operate there, all of whom are independent and not employees of Strax.

State health officials investigated a 2008 death and filed disciplinary charges against a surgeon, a case the doctor is contesting. In a 2009 death, officials investigated and found no fault.

In the third case, an autopsy found a woman died accidentally on Dec. 27 from a bloodstream blockage resulting from fat injections into her buttocks. State health officials have declined to say if they are investigating that death or the death of Wendrow.

An attorney for Strax, Peter Mineo Jr., said it is "irresponsible" to have news coverage of Wendrow's death when it's unclear why she died. The center declines to comment, out of respect for the family's privacy, he said.

Mineo said Strax has a lower death rate in cosmetic surgery than the national average.

Botched Facial Surgery: Rare Disfiguring Result Brings Record $10 Million Award

Businesswoman Penny Johnson, 49, won a record $10 million judgment from a British judge after suing her plastic surgeon for a botched facelift that left her with permanent nerve damage.

Botched Facial Surgery: Rare Disfiguring Result Brings Record $10 Million Award
By JANE E. ALLEN

A self-made British businesswoman who testified that nerve damage from a facelift ruined her consulting business and family life has won a record $10 million judgment from a British judge.

Penny Johnson, 49, said she consulted Dr. Le Roux Fourie, a cosmetic surgeon in Leeds, UK, about eliminating dark circles under her eyes and reshaping her nose, but the doctor talked her into more extensive procedures. After undergoing a facelift and replacement of her breast implants, she developed palsy on the right side of her face. Despite some improvement following surgical revisions, Johnson developed uncontrollable right-side twitching, a grimace, and couldn't close her right eye. In 2007, she sued Fourie.

"I don't sleep and I have a permanent buzzing around my eye which can be so intense that I can't think about anything," she testified in the High Court in London. "My husband has a separate life with my son which I'm not included in. I can't be a wife anymore."

Unable to work, she initially sued Fourie for the value of her 50 percent share in Bishop Cavanagh Ltd., a consulting firm she and her husband ran. Fourie admitted negligence in her case, but his attorneys claimed Johnson was seeking excessive compensation -- $87 million.

"The negligent surgery has had serious consequences both physical and psychological," Justice Owen wrote in the judgment he issued on Monday. "The physical injuries have resulted in a prolonged adjustment disorder with features of anxiety and depression."

He described Johnson, of Godstone in Surrey, as "a confident, happy and outstandingly successful woman with a full and rewarding family and social life" before her ordeal. In rejecting her accounting of lost future earnings, he reduced her economic losses to slightly more than $10 million.

Dr. Fazel Fatah, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, called the award "disproportionate, especially considering the compensation people – including those in the armed forces – receive after losing limbs or requiring care the rest of their lives," according to an Associated Press report. "Understanding the procedure, its likely outcome and possible risks is the key to making an informed choice about whether to have an operation."

Johnson's story is among cautionary tales of what can happen when surgery goes awry.

"It's a well-known risk that nerves can be damaged during facelifts. It's extremely rare, less than a 1 percent chance," said Dr. Phil Haeck, a Seattle plastic surgeon and president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. "It's not unheard of."

Lawsuits involving facelifts are "not as common as you might think," he said, and are less common than lawsuits associated with breast reconstruction after cancer, rhinoplasty, breast enhancement and breast reduction.

A patient who sustains significant nerve damage that cannot be reversed "can ultimately become depressed over this and have some reactionary feelings toward the surgeon," Haeck said Tuesday in an interview from Vancouver, where he was attending the International Confederation for Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery 2011 meeting. "What I tell my patients is that 95 percent of the time things will go exactly as you and I wanted it to occur, but in 5 percent of the time, there may be a longer healing period, there may need to be a second surgery or even a third surgery to correct something."

Case Is A Reminder That All Surgery Carries Risk of Complications

An American psychologist who specializes in body image issues said Johnson's case was a reminder that "plastic surgery is a surgery and it has the possibility of complications like any other surgery."

"There's kind of this myth of transformation, that if I can get rid of these dark circles and if I can get a facelift and get these boobs replaced, I'm going to feel great. I'll be a new woman," said Ann Kearney-Cooke, director of the Cincinnati Psychotherapy Institute. "They may be forgetting what's at stake here, too."

According to the court documents, Johnson grew up in a mining village, did well in school and left at 16 for a hair-dressing course. "But she had greater ambition than a career in hairdressing," the judge wrote. Johnson soon was on a fast-track in the civil service, interrupted by pregnancy and the birth of a special-needs child in 1985. She worked part-time for several years before building a lucrative consulting business with top corporate clients.



Kearney-Cooke, co-author with Bob Greene of "The Life You Want: Get Motivated, Lose Weight, and Be Happy," said that although she doesn't know Johnson, patients who have risen from similarly modest beginnings sometimes "don't feel they really have made it – and they feel that to make it, you have to look perfect." A less-vulnerable woman might have told the plastic surgeon, "No, I just want my nose and the bags under my eyes done. Enough."

In the United States, Heidi Montag underwent a marathon 10-procedure makeover in November 2009, and a year later, expressed in an interview with Life & Style magazine buyer's remorse about scars and disfigurements in her breasts, chin, and body: "Surgery ruined my career and my personal life and just brought a lot of negativity into my world. I wish I could jump into a time machine and take it all back."

Haeck said that in many cases where patients sue over breast scarring, "either the communication broke down, because the patient wasn't listening to the word 'scar,' or the patient had it inherent in their own genetic makeup to form coarse scars." He said 80 percent of U.S. patients' plastic surgery claims never make it to court, and of the 20 percent that go to court, "the plastic surgeon wins in 80 percent of those cases."

He called the British award in Johnson's case "astounding," and noted that when U.S. juries are determining economic damages in plastic surgery cases, they tend to take into consideration that plastic surgeons' liability insurance on average covers $1 million per incident. In rare cases, juries will exceed that "to send a very strong message to the surgeon." In California and Texas, economic awards are capped at $250,000, although medical damages can be "as high as needed."

Cheryl Cole baffled by cosmetic surgery

By Vicky Allison

US X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has revealed that she won't be getting a Hollywood makeover anytime soon.

The 27-year-old star, who is currently living in LA, says she doesn’t understand why people have cosmetic surgery because she thinks it makes them all look the same.

The Promise This singer told Grazia magazine: 'I've already seen a few funny sights. I can't quite get my head around everyone having the same nose, because I think it's the unique things about your face that make you beautiful.'

She added: 'I'm not judging, but unless something is really getting you down, then it's best not to mess with nature.'

I don’t want my little girl to have surgery like me... only a boob job

I don’t want my little girl to have surgery like me... only a boob job
By JENNA SLOAN

BEAUTY addict Kirsty Yaqub is just 20 years old - but has already blown an incredible £20,000 on cosmetic surgery.

As well as a boob job boosting her from a modest 30B to a huge 30G, the mum-of-one has paid for expensive veneers on her teeth, lip injections, fillers and Botox.

She also injects herself daily with a potent tanning drug to get a rich mahogany glow unattainable from a bottle.

And the model - who is now completely unrecognisable from the shy teenager she once was - admits to being addicted to the kick surgical enhancements give her.

Kirsty said: "People are amazed when they hear I'm only 20 and have already spent thousands of pounds on surgery, but I don't regret any of it. If it makes me look and feel better then it's worth it. Plus it gives me the most amazing buzz."

Kirsty - a single mum who lives in Sutton Coldfield, West Mids, with her two-year-old daughter Savannah - started modelling aged just 13.

Natural beauty ... teenage Kirsty

"I was spotted in my local shopping centre," she said. "Soon I was getting loads of work as a child model.

"I loved it but from a very young age it did make me aware of the importance of looking good."

A glance at Kirsty's old modelling pictures reveal a naturally pretty 15-year-old girl with dark hair and olive skin.

But thanks to thousands of pounds of surgery, Kirsty barely resembles the fresh-faced teen in those photos.

Her transformation began two years ago, when she was 18, and her first surgery was a £5,000 boob job.

She said: "I hated how small my boobs were. After giving birth to Savannah my confidence was knocked even more as I felt saggy and like my skin had stretched.

"Having a breast augmentation totally changed that - it gave me so much more confidence. I wanted to wear whatever I liked and feel really womanly."

But instead of opting for a slight boost to her cleavage, Kirsty decided to go up FIVE cup sizes, from a 30B to a 30G. She admits her boobs now dwarf her tiny size-six frame but insists she loves them.

Kirsty said: "It might sound extreme to go that big in one go. I'm naturally tiny so they do look pretty big. But I like the fake look - I always have."

Pout ... Kirsty says she's spent at least £20,000 on cosmetic surgery

In fact, Kirsty claims her breasts have actually helped further her career and she has now entered glamour modelling.

She said: "I did a lot of commercial modelling before, ads for the NHS and things like that, but I just got bored of it.

"Glamour modelling is much more fun. And I'm sure my unique look has helped."

Despite the success surgery has brought her, Kirsty admits she would not want her daughter to go down the same route.

She said: "Savannah is only two so I can't say how I'll feel when she's older.

"I know it sounds hypocritical but I don't think I'll want her having loads of surgery. Maybe a boob job, but that's it."

For Kirsty herself, a boob job was just the start. After that, she focused on her teeth and has invested in expensive porcelain veneers - even though she admits she didn't actually need them.

She said: "People have said that my teeth were fine and perfectly straight and they're probably right. But I could see these little imperfections and I'm a perfectionist so I had to do something about it.

"My veneers cost £3,000. But I think they were worth it. Again, it's all about having the confidence to smile and feel great."

Next up was her face. Despite not having a single line or wrinkle, she has spent thousands on facial fillers around her nose and mouth and says she's had lip injections done 11 times.
She said: "Although I like the fake look, even I had to admit that at one point my lips were starting to look a bit silly.

"But I like to keep them looking plump. It costs £300 each time so I must have spent £3,000 on them alone. It sounds a lot but it's all part of the look I'm going for."

Kirsty also confesses to having regular Botox injections - despite the fact she is barely out of her teens.

She said: "People say I don't need Botox but I disagree. Why wait until I'm wrinkly? It's about £200 a time, but it really works. I don't worry that it makes my expressions look frozen because I'd always choose that over wrinkles."


Mummy's girl ... Kirsty says she'd be happy for her daughter to get a boob job

Kirsty's latest beauty fad is the popular tanning drug Melanotan. Although the guidelines recommend using it no more than once a week, Kirsty admits using it daily.

It is illegal to ship or sell the synthetic hormone but not to buy it. The drug is said to encourage the body to produce melanin, the body's natural protection from the sun, which also darkens the skin.

But as it is self-injected and unlicensed, doctors have warned that users risk infections such as hepatitis or even HIV. It has also been linked to skin cancer.

She also visits a salon for 14-minute sunbed sessions five times a week.

Kirsty said: "I like to go really brown, so I inject it daily then I go on sunbeds.

"I know there's a danger but I try not to think about that. Being tanned makes me feel healthy and more attractive."

On top of the money she spends on surgery and tanning, she has regular £400 hair extensions and often blows £200 on her favourite MAC and Guerlain make-up.

Kirsty admitted: "I am on a constant quest to make myself look as perfect as possible. After my little girl, any spare money I have goes on my appearance. It's just me wanting to look perfect."

Unsurprisingly, Kirsty idolises glamour model Katie Price, better known as Jordan.

She said: "I watch her shows and admire how well she has done for herself. For me, though, it's not about copying anyone, it's about picking the bits I don't like about myself and improving them. And I guess that's what Katie Price does too."

Kirsty admits she's never totted up the amount she's spent on surgery and other cosmetic treatments, but admits it runs into tens of thousands.

She said: "It's easily £20,000. You have to factor in all the little things too. I get hair extensions every few months and my eyebrows tattooed on. Then I have my nails done every two or three weeks.

"But I use the money from modelling to pay for it - nothing is on a credit card."



No regrets ... Kirsty is happy with her look

Kirsty insists her family and friends understand her surgery obsession and that her mum is really supportive.

Kirsty said: "My mum has had a lot of work done too. We both go for Botox. She's 43 but she looks years younger. She thinks it's good that I care about my appearance."

Kirsty has received some criticism of her appearance, though. An ex-boyfriend once called her "plastic face" during an argument. But insults just make her more convinced she is doing the right thing.

She said: "Some people have been cruel and said I look fake but if they're trying to upset me it's backfired.

"In fact, I take it as a compliment. Anyway, if someone tells me not to do something, I'm much more likely to do it.

"I love my look. If it makes me happy it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks."

Vanessa Williams ethnicity

Vanessa A. Williams ethnicity is African American.
Vanessa Lynn Williams was born in Tarrytown, New York, United States in March 18, 1963.

Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Williams Ethnic Background leads us to a question of race and ethnicity which to a large extent has become irrelevant in today’s society. African American and Caucasian can be described as the race of Vanessa. She was the first African American to have won the Miss America crown which she did eventually gave up due to controversies. Vanessa Williams grew mostly in a white middle class suburb of New York. One of her ancestors David Carll who was a black man married a white woman by the name of Mary Louisa Appleford as far back as 1862. So Vanessa Williams had a mixed ethnic background. Her parents are supposed to be of both European and African background and this probably explains the lighter skin and green eyes of Vanessa Williams. No matter what her ethnic background is she has over the years earned a lot of fame and popularity with her songs and acting career.

She has helped the cause of African American woman by setting an example to them that if you have talent and the necessary hard working skills you can make it in any profession. There has been a lot of debate about her race and her ethnic roots and they have been numerous things said that attribute her success to her race. Her ascent to the top of the entertainment industry has nothing to do with race or her ethnic status but due to her abundance of talent. Vanessa Williams Ethnic Background is a question best left as she has opened the doors of her profession to numerous other women.

Plastic surgery fans and foes at Cannes

By COLIN STEWART

Celebrities who love plastics surgery, and those who hate it, are on display at the Cannes film festival.

STARS WHO DID, STARS WHO DIDN’T

Celebrities fly to France at this time each year, gathering together a mixed flock of plastic surgery fans and opponents visiting the Cannes film festival.

Here’s a sampling of various categories of stars at Cannes – some who definitely did, some who probably didn’t, and some who perhaps should go under the knife or the needle.

DID

Actress Faye Dunaway, 70, reportedly has had a facelift, Botox, fillers, laser skin treatments and dental veneers. As the Real Self blog says, “Faye Dunaway’s latest work isn’t on film, it’s actually on her face. She’s had an eyebrow lift, porcelain veneers, and the latest … lip augmentation.”

In the past, actress Jane Fonda, 73, often spoke out against plastic surgery, but last year she had work done on her chin, neck and under her eyes.

Fonda explains her decision to get a facelift at age 72: “I just decided it was for me – I don’t want to have bags under my eyes that make me look tired.”

DIDN’T

Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, 29, won a 2009 lawsuit that she filed against a Beijing hospital that used her name in ads for plastic surgery. The hospital was ordered to pay her damages after it advertised a “special summer offer on Fan Bingbing’s plastic surgery.” She denied having the plastic surgery and sued for slander.

DIDN’T RECENTLY

Singer, designer and Orange County native Gwen Stefani, 41, has said she would consider having plastic surgery, but denies that she has had any yet. But the cosmetic medicine website MakeMeHeal.com says she got a nose job long ago. It cites a photo of her as a teenager “with a rather bulbous nose tip and a wider bridge than her current nose.”

Photos of her looking flat-chested in Cannes do not lend support to that website’s assertion that she has gotten breast implants to change her bust from “extremely flat, A cup-sized breasts to a moderate B cup breast size.”

Actress Angelina Jolie, 35, denies that she has ever had plastic surgery, but an early nose job is obvious in before-and-after photos. Although her lips look as if they’d been injected with filler, they probably haven’t been. She has had large lips since she was a teenager.

Actress Penelope Cruz, 37, has “occasionally pouting lips (that) suggest that her dermatologist sometimes wields a syringe with too much gusto,” says plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente and Orange.

Plastic surgeons Dr. Paul S. Nassif of Beverly Hills and Dr. Daniel Joseph Verret of Texas also say they see evidence of surgical intervention at the tip of Penelope Cruz’s nose.

“That’s far from proven,” Di Saia says.

OH, YES

Model Victoria Silvstedt, 36, has enhanced her natural endowments with plastic surgery, but her breast implants pose some problems. Online photos of her show ripples in the skin that covers her obvious breast implants. “Rippling is more common in women who have small breasts and go with larger implants,” Di Saia says. “It has to do with the tissue coverage being relatively thin compared to the size of the breast implants underneath.”

WON’T

British actress Charlotte Rampling, 65, says about plastic surgery, “I’m lucky because I haven’t really needed it. People think they need it, and there’s not much you can do to stop them having it.”

Actresses lose out on good roles for older women if they submit to pressure to get plastic surgery, she says.

Actress-director Jodie Foster, 48, says plastic surgery would be “something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am.”

“For me, it’s really a self-image thing,” she says. “I’d rather have somebody go, ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose,’ than ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.’ “

SHOULD AND DID?

Celebrity watchers often speculate that actress Goldie Hawn, 65, has had work done. Plastic surgeon and blogger Dr. Tony Youn agrees, saying, “In my experience, 60-year-old women don’t have straight necklines like hers without a bit of plastic surgery help.”

She would benefit from laser skin treatments to counteract years of sun exposure, says dermatologist Dr. Vince Afsahi of Tustin and Newport Beach.

Bill in N.J. would further restrict Botox for minors

Bill in N.J. would further restrict Botox for minors

TRENTON - Under a bill moving through the Legislature, minors in New Jersey wouldn't be able to get Botox injections unless a doctor says the procedure is medically necessary.

The Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee approved legislation Thursday to clamp down on injections of botulinum toxin for cosmetic purposes in people younger than 18.

The bill cites a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that said teenagers received more than 12,000 Botox injections in 2009, almost twice as many as in 2008.

Botox is used to smooth facial wrinkles by paralyzing muscles, which, if not carefully targeted, can lead to side effects, including problems with breathing, swallowing, and speaking. There have also been reports of death.

Federal and state regulations already restrict the use of Botox on patients younger than 18. The proposed legislation would require doctors to document the noncosmetic medical reason for performing the procedure on a minor. The bill passed, 10-1, in committee. There's no companion bill in the Senate.

Older patients seek plastic surgery for career confidence

There's a growing trend of people 50 and older who aren't just going under the knife for vanity, but also to help their careers

By Tim Saunders

Cosmetic surgery has long been used by people who want to stay young looking.

Now there's a growing trend of people 50 and older who aren't just going under the knife for vanity, but also to help their careers.

Denise Basham-Knowles deals with the public for a living.

"I've been a realtor and auctioneer here in the area 16 years," said Basham-Knowles.

She meets new people all the time and now that she's approaching 50, she wants to put her "best face" forward.  In recent years, that was hard to do.

"I wasn't smiling as much, because I was starting to feel like as I got older people were looking at me," said said Basham-Knowles.

Late last year she decided it was time for a change.

"It was my confidence level that was down, not anything to do with work, but I thought if I feel better about myself I will do better at work," said Basham-Knowles.

To make that happen, she got a facelift.

"Personally, I'm a lot happier," said Basham-Knowles.  "I wake up and smile in the mornings."

Basham-Knowles is not alone.  Surgeons say a growing number of women and men are undergoing procedures at a later age.

"We get people older and older who see that these things are available," said  Simon Hatin, a board certified plastic surgeon with Plastic Surgery Associates of Lynchburg.

Many of the patients Hatin sees are after a "younger" look for career reasons.  He says older clients are looking for less invasive procedures.

"That can range from smoothening out of wrinkles to softening of folds.  Lifting of certain areas," said Hatin, who adds that medical advancements have made cosmetic work less painful than it used to be.

"We use medications nowadays that are much easier on older physiology," said Hatin.

Giving people like Basham-Knowles a tool to stay confident as they work into later years.

"It's not going to go out there make your business boom overnight, but if it makes you feel good then you're going to do a better job," said Basham-Knowles.

Basham-Knowles said she started getting compliments immediately after her surgery and that she healed in just a matter of days, something that fit well with her work schedule.
