Break Your Heart Blonde

At 19, Kate Bosworth was a break your heart blonde teen surfer dream girl in Blue Crush. We all fell in love with the blonde pixie girl with cute freckles and a sassy tomboy attitude. Little did we realize how vulnerable the interior was in contrast to the sassy exterior. Now, decades later, Kate Bosworth has become a wispy cartoon caricature of what she once was. Duck lips, botox, nose job, stick girl thin, Kate is criticized in the online gossip rags and pop culture blogs for having caved to the pressure of conforming to the Hollywood cookie cutter look, plastic surgery, starvation.

Why do actresses feel they have to mutate themselves into such creatures? Don’t these teen and twenty-something actresses also realize that they serve as role models to young impressionable girls who then feel they must copy unrealistic aspects of their unhealthy look? Sigh… But at least we have photos of Kate when she was simply break your heart blonde and beautiful, untouched by the surgeon’s scalpel or the hunger pangs. She still breaks hearts, but because of what she lost along the way.
