For starters from what I have read about Donda, she was a Fulbright Scholar and had earned a doctorate. She was a former professor at Chicago State University and served as the chair of the English and Communications, Media Arts, and Theater department. When her son Kanye chose to turn his back on education which she had always emphasised for him, she supported his decision and eventually ended up managing his career.
So can someone please tell me why this obviously intelligent and accomplished woman could not celebrate herself as she was, but felt the need to be cut on and molded into the non-existent ideal of perfection that our society perpetuates?
I know all about how looking good does make you feel better and taking pride in one's appearance, but I just can not imagine dying for the cause of plastic surgery.
The heartbreaking thing about this is apparently this isn't the first time the doctor she used has made a mistake. He evidently has several malpractice judgements against him, has no malpractice insurance and has been picked up twice for DWI. Currently the California Medical Board was already looking to take away his license for this reason.
The sad thing is that it will be too late to save Kanye's mom. Just so very tragic.

It's probably for the same reason these makeover shows are so popular. They take "ugly ducklings" and presto, change-o, they're beautiful. No one cares anymore how lovely you are on the inside, how funny, or intelligent, it's all about looking like Barbie. None of us are perfect, and even if surgery can make us look better, time will eventually get us.
