Just Don't Place Him Near an Open Flame
Because all his plastic might melt:
Steve Erhardt is a man in search of perfection. A virtual human "Ken" doll, the celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist has undergone approximately 30 cosmetic surgeries and subsequent maintenance and has spent close to $250,000 out of his own pocket to achieve his current look.
He works in Hollywood, duh. I'm always amazed how people try to look fabulous with plastic surgery and just end up looking freaky.
Ah well, it's their money. People like this keep an entire industry's worth of other people, from doctors to teachers to drug reps to receptionists, employed.
$250K to look like that? Poor bastard.

Last I heard, he's added detachable whiskers, he's getting an animatronic tail, and has tattooed his entire body with tiger markings.
On top of that, I know that body mods have been going on for quite awhile, so while this isn't anything too new, it's still a bit disturbing...
