Chinese girl eyes surgery to look like Jessica Alba to win back her ex

There’s always a large pressure on women in modern society to fit certain standards of beauty. But perhaps there’s no story as bizarre and borderline depressing as this Chinese girl who wants to get a lot of plastic surgery to look just like Jessica Alba, all to get her Jessica Alba-obsessed ex-boyfriend back.

Desperate to win back her obsessed boyfriend, who had insisted she wore a blonde wig and copy Miss Alba in every way, the 21-year-old woman is prepared to spend a fortune on the very physical make-over. However they have revealed that the woman is well off and that ‘money is no object as long as the end result is to turn herself into a Jessica lookalike’.

Identifying herself only as Xiaoqing, the woman told the Shanghai Daily that her 28-year-old ex-boyfriend was so obsessed with Miss Alba that he hung photos of her on the walls of his home and carried her image on his mobile phone.

‘He was always telling me to do my make-up like Jessica does, even when I’m asleep,’ she said.

‘At Christmas time he gave me a blonde wig to wear and asked me to keep it on all the time.’

The girl said that part of the reason she wants to do it is because she’s “a psychologically weak person. I want to do something to challenge myself and build a strong personality through it.” Because typically, the best way to get stronger and have a solid belief in who you are is to get massive reconstructive surgery to look like a hot girl whose biggest acting achievement came when she was invisible and then got seen in her bra and panties along with a guy who stretches like rubber and some guy made of rocks. Shoot for the stars.

At the same time, if you’re so well to do and willing to completely give up who you are in a misguided quest for beauty, why not just steal Jessica Alba and switch brains with her? Money’s not an object and I’m sure there’s some doctor out there who wants to make history. Renowned researcher Dr. Frankenstein has already provided a strong roadmap for scientific invention in the field. Just strap some bolts in your neck, wait for lightning, boom…you’re Jessica Alba. Plus, it’s China. The biggest regulations they have there on something like that are just that your new mutant Alba doesn’t talk about what happened in Tienanmen Square.
