There Are No Ugly Women (Maybe Bai Ling)

A while ago I ran across a post on Digg (maybe a year ago?) that was titled “There are no ugly women”, and while I raised my hand in protest I clicked the link, and soon realized what they were trying to say: With enough makeup and primping, there is no such thing as an ugly woman.

Consider the following:

The Swan Contestants: Ugly Women

Looking at those women you think to yourself: “Yep, ugly women… I’ve probably seen them shopping at Wal-Mart with 9 kids en-tow”. The women above were actually 9 finalists in the show “The Swan” and were picked because of their ultimate makeovers, the result of their make over is pretty astounding:

There are no ugly women, The Swan 9 Finalists

There are some hotties in there and I was seriously amazed you could go from A to B like that without just having a body double for the show.

Anyway, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw over on The Superficial that Bai Ling had been arrested for shop lifting $16 worth of junk on the day after Valentine’s day from an LA airport:

Bai Ling Mug Shot

good god… are you sure this is the normal Bai Ling that is constantly having “nipple slips” with every single wardrobe she wears? I don’t even think they are nipple slips as much as Bai Ling just likes to wear her breasts on the outside of her outfits.

Just for comparison sake, this is how she normally looks when she’s spruced up to hell and back:

Bai Ling Hot

and she’s 40 apparently… I hope I look that good at 40, but still have a penis. So yea, imagine Bai Ling with a giant dong… that’s me. We should hang out some time actually, why don’t you give me a call Saturday.

Update #1: It slipped my mind to include another comparison for folks out there that will blow their mind… Charlize Theron normally and then from her movie Monster:

Charlize Theron Pretty Compared to her Role in Monster

She’s definitely heavier in Monster, but you cannot discredit how much of a difference good makeup and hair makes… it’s just amazing.

    For many years I’ve been telling young guys that the hottie all the guys in the bar are drooling over is no prettier than the plainer woman they ignore. The difference is packaging. And the less-fancy woman will probably be nicer (less spoiled), more receptive to you, and likely better in bed.

    My wife is an attractive woman — lots cuter IMO than the unadorned Bai Ling — when she’s hanging around the house or her painting studio, but she can and does fix herself up to the “Wow!” level when we go out to a place or event that warrants it.

    The trick is to see through the packaging. :)

  2. Riyad Kalla Says:

    Robin,
    I think you are exactly right on all accounts… and there are definitely times when the wife’s “bumming around the house” look just turns you on… not sure what it is, but it probably has a lot to do with the personality connection that exists below the surface that ends up making everything better.

    Cheers to awesome women!

  3. Dave Lucas Says:

    Packaging! WOW! Robin you hit it right! Look at exotic Bai-Ling and then look at her muggie! PROOF POSITIVE you CAN dress ‘em up! You can make the girl ROCK! Come over to my blog and check out my post on Ms. Ling…

    Bai Ling is 40? She looks amazing considering her lifestyle.

  5. Anonymous Says:

    Thats not her you fools look at the mole!… its below the mouth in one pic and high on her cheek in the next… so easily fooled……not all asians look alike…..
    but black people do

  6. KJG Says:

    Proof that it’s really her

    Check out this link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23509261/
    Its the actual news story posted on MSNBC about her arrest and contains the LAPD mug shot

    Here is another link that has a number of photos of her done up. You can see in a number of them that her mole is above her mouth just as in the mug shot

    http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/bai_ling/index.html

    So there you have it folks. The truth is superficially (im sure I spealt this wrong) beautiful people are really ugly….

  7. Tom Says:

    Get over it, Riyad. NOBODY looks good in a mugshot taken at some ungodly hour. What, you’ve never been arrested before? Good for you, Boy Scout.

  8. scam Says:

    this is absolute bullcrap , chek te birthmark an the asian it’s different

  9. J Says:

    Charlize Theron can hardly be compared from normal to Monster. I studied this film on my film studies course, and they revealed on the behind the scenes stuff that not only did she put on weight, but she was in make-up for two and a half hours every day and they used some kind of latex mixture to spray a new, wrinkly-er skin on top of hers, then they did the redneck colour, then the freckles, and finally dirtied it up a bit. eseentially they did it all by spray-painting onto the fake plastic skin, so pretty much none of what you see in the film has anything to do with the real Charlize Theron

  10. Editor Says:

    Damn J, I had no idea that they faked that disgusting red-neck skin… that’s sorta misleading because that was one of the huge “omg” drivers for people thinking she was so amazing of an actress to look like that.

    Very interesting.

  11. Jimbo Says:

    oh please to the OP. Was every girl beautiful at prom? Where they all try their hardest to look good. No, facial structure cannot be altered no matter the makeup and body structure too…

  12. requiredname Says:

    Hey virgin,

    Bai Ling is still beautiful, even without make up. This is how women are supposed to look.

  13. Balaga Says:

    hey, idiot!
    the women from “the swan” or whatever are “superficialized” too! did you see the after picture better? their hair and makeup were proffessionally done and maybe the picture was photoshopped as well! and bai ling DOES NOT look like that! check the mole!
    charlize theron was just doing a role in a movie, not being herself! if you want to post a blog about “beautiful women” why don’t you do a better job??

  14. Riyad Kalla Says:

    Balaga,

    I think you missed the entire point of the post, which was “there is no such thing as an ugly woman.”

    It’s hidden right up there in the title and again in the first paragraph… and then supported with the content of the entirety of the post. I’m not sure who you were quoting with the post about “beautiful women”, that wasn’t written anywhere.

  15. Kate Says:

    The Swan was a brutal show though… that’s not just hair and makeup that they had for makeovers. The whole point of the show was that the women were also subjected to plastic surgery. I feel that yes, many of those girls would have simply “cleaned up nice” and looked lovely with a nice dress and some professional makeup, but they were subjected to lipo, nose jobs, laser treatments, implants, etc.

  16. asdf Says:

    Is that mug shot even her? the mole seems smaller and higher than the other pic where she looks a little bit better. She looks like a tranny in the mug shot.

  17. qwerty123 Says:

    All due respect to Charlize Theron, one of the best actors in the business, neither of those photos depicts what she looks like “normally.”
    In the pic on the left, she’s stylized and made up to conform to beauty standards and then photoshopped to conform even more.
    In the pic on the right, she’s stylized and made up to look like a chronically abused, marginalized woman who doesn’t have a pilates instructor and an aesthetician on her personal staff.

    What Charlize Theron looks like “normally” is more like this:

    As for Bai Ling’s mole – that’s the magic of Photoshop.

  18. kika Says:

    n acredito q seja a charlize theron.
    nem por sombras!!

  19. Smee Says:

    Its not Bai Ling. She does bare a resemblance but its not her. The mole isn’t even in the right place. As far as packaging goes, if a girl (or guy for that matter) takes pride in their self enough to take time to do it up right then GREAT but they will still leave with the same guy/girl their personality attracts.
    The difference is between a bar and a club when going “out”.
    Going to a club most of us don’t go to find Mr./Mrs. Right just to find Mr./Mrs. Right now so the looks do count a lot more then in a pub/bar. A pub/bar you can talk to someone and have a conversation about sports, the stock market, politics, religion (the last two, alcohol should be required to be present to be discussed) what have you, and actually be heard,
    but I digress.
    If you take home the vapid vixen grinding your leg on the dance floor you may not wake up with the same person you went to bed with. ;{D

    I think Bai Ling is a hottie! Especially when she was in Austin Powers Gold Member! I cannot wait to see her in her latest film “Chain Letter”. This google pic isn’t her best look though.

  21. Ohmy Says:

    It really is her. When she smiles the mole looks further down on her face. Also, it is very normal to have to repaint the mole after all that pancake is applied.

    I remember hearing about the shoplifting incident when it occurred and that was the mugshot everyone was using.

    Saying asians or blacks look alike. That is like saying all whites look alike, how rude….

    I work in advertising. It is pretty interesting to see how easily people feed into media’s portrayal of our beloved celebs. You have no idea how much retouching and airbrushing takes place after a photo shoot. Before these images are ever released they are looked at with a fine tooth comb and edited and edited until perfection. Movement of a tiny mole is the least of it. They create entirely new noses, change bone structure, air brush the skin, remove any remnant of fat…etc. Point is…I could care less if this is Bai Ling, although it probably is; however, the placement of her mole is no indication!

    You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

  24. John Lucania Says:

    Bai Ling may not be done up in her mug shot but her skin is still beautiful. I think she is hot even in that photo.

  25. mncjdnujds Says:

    this is definatly fake dont beleive it peoples!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Charlie Says:

    First of all, it would be very naive to believe that picture is how Charlize really looks like, they made a huge effort to make her UGLY! In real life, she’s a beautiful woman, imo, of course everyone looks more glamourous and attractive with a little make up (too much is just not real anymore), but you have to look at the face on its whole, not how nice the skin looks, how much wrinkles she has, … That, people, is superficial and the living proof is that when you look at people (whether on tv or not) who are always made up very carefully and always take care of themselves, there are a lot of them that look really hidious (so than it h snothing to do with make up, …), but the person that has a really beautiful face, you will notice has nothing to do with putting on some make up or stuff.
    Another thing that really annoys me are those stupid paparazzi. They take one picture of a famous person and than say wow! Look how they really look! Has no one ever noticed that those pictures are always the worst pictures ever taken of that person? I mean when you’re drunk, your make up has smuttered and you’re making a funny face, how can anyone look attractive that way!? Than when you do some research yourself and try to find some more pictures of that particular person, I always find a dozen of pictures where they’re also make up-less, but looking much better.

  27. Bones Says:

    Before you go ranting and raving about whether or not it is Bai Ling, do a little research people. There are times when the woman has no mole at all, if anything is a fake here, it’s the bloody mole! Aside from that, you can find this photo, which is quite real, anywhere that pleases you. As well you can find the record of Bai Ling’s arrest if you would like, seeing as though it is public record.
    Evolve Damnit!
