So I almost feel silly for even posting about this but I am just a little shocked! What the hell has she done to herself???? Does no one else see this madness?!!! I always thought Lil Kim was a pretty girl, underneath the bad makeup and weave. But I guess she didn't think so. Wow. I'm almost speechless.
This picture is recent, it's her beside Derek Hough, her DWTS dance partner. I had seen some shots of her since she started this fiasco but this latest is just weird. It's like she wants to really LOOK white! Her skin looks soooo light in that photo and her nose is like, not her nose! I am surprised the hair is black and not blonde (or red or green or blue for that matter, but that's a different issue) but then again it looks like she's copy-cating the Kim Kardashian look. On the one hand, she's grown and can make her own decisions. On the other, what does this new "look" say about how she conceptualizes her beauty and how she presents it to the world? Is this an example of self-hatred (I have my own definitive opinion) or is this just another singer/"actress" who's had work to help her career? I feel sad for her, and for any young women who look up to her (although I don't know any by name, not a judgement just a truth) because of what this new image says. Wow. Aaagghhh!
Kim back in the day...
And it just gets weirder....
It almost makes me wonder, and maybe this is a stretch. So...this is what happenes when you mix black self-loathing with tons of excess cash. What would happen to regular black folks if one day we were all dropped a load of cash?? Would more "regular" people run out and 'fix' their noses, lighten their skin, or sew in miles and miles of long black hair??? Scary.
WOAH! She looked way more beautifu back in the day. When I say this [after] picture the only words that came to my mind was "God help her" because I cannot judge. She simply needs to find who she truly is... simple.
ReplyDeletewow she almost looks like a freak of nature, or... Michael Jackson or some shit... lol
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite bloggers The Bohemian Bookworm blogged about Lil' Kim the other day. Look at the old picture she dug up:

Yea, totally different person.
Funny thing is, all the work she's had done has really aged her face... upclose it's a hot mess. I hope nothing falls out, or off while shes on the dance floor. Poor Kim.
ReplyDeleteI actually feel sorry for her because self hate is the worse.
ReplyDeleteyea, lil' kim is pretty scary AND sad right now!
ReplyDeleteLOL. scary is right.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad every time I look at her. She was so cute to me back in the day. (Remember the Puff song, "No Time"? That was my jam!)
ReplyDeleteBut yes... she must not have had a positive self-image to begin with. That's the saddest part.
Lil Kim was so cute back in the day. Thank u for posting pics of what she used to look because I honestly was beginnging to forget. I'm beginning to think that money makes some people just lose all control. This is sad...
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame. But at least she ditched the blonde hair. I almost feel sorry about commenting. I read on bossip.com that she refers to herself as a white girls trapped in a black girl's body. And apparently she was peeved about the actor playing her in the Biggie movie being too dark. Truly messed up.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is really bad. I hadn't noticed the transition, I just thought she was slowly going loco. Suddenly I feel sorry for her, she must have deep seated issues.
ReplyDeletei think it's just an exaggerated sign of the self loathing many blacks struggle with at some level. i don't think black people stop to really think about how certain things affect our psyche. (namely that we exist in a world where we are often discredited/despised) there's a stigma in the black community against psychologists, and there shouldn't be. because we most DEFINITELy need the help!
ReplyDeleteThis is just another case of self-hatred. Much like (as we know) Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa, and Stacey Dash (who is definitely living the I wanna be a "white girl" dream) and any other black who feels the need to alter their looks to be more visually pleasing. Unfortunate brainwashing that has taken place for centuries designed to make us hate the way we look, and compare our hair, skin and features to other races and try to emulate them! Lil' Kim is obviously trying to channel, a Kim Kardashian or Latino look. But looking like a scary body dysmorphic mannequin....too sad.
ReplyDeleteWell, I must say, for the record, Stacey Dash did no such thing, she just happens to be with a white man, but she did not alter her look, and if so, not anymore than many others, janet Jackson, Oprah, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Tyra, Rihanna (bleaching) etc..
ReplyDeleteKim, this is sad, I must say. But nothing will change her, she's too gone.
Everyone have to learn to love there self . Love the skin you are in. The world will be a boring place, if everyone look the same. God made us in his only image.

ReplyDeleteNow its really WTF?
OMG wow. Just gets worse and worse!
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the girl. She use to be so beautiful. Now she looks like she was in a bad accident and this was the best the docs could do
ReplyDeleteOMG Kim I love you but stop. Enough is enough. I really feel like crying when I see her, I've been a fan since the 90s and I still am. She is one of the best and talented female rappers to ever grace the mic but her face and body is just sad.
ReplyDeleteI will be buying her new album later this year for the sake of it but with a face like that will others buy it? Or will it flop? All her albums have been successful and platinum, I feel like this one won't do too well......
I still love you Kim <3
i ♥ lil kim requardless behind the plastic surqery & etc!
