I had no idea this was a thing. Apparently woman are getting all sorts of procedures done on their hands for their engagement selfie. I didn't even know hand lifts were a thing?
"Age spots, veins or a bony appearance (or, horrors, all three) have become an obsession for some women. And as with all obsessions, there is a price to be exacted. In Ms. Valencis’ quest for that perfect selfie of her diamond-adorned hand, she contracted for a series of six intense pulsed light (I.P.L.) and chemical-peel treatments and two syringes of an injected gel substance called Juvéderm Voluma XC for a total of $3,000."
I'm not the type of girl to look at strangers "engagement selfies". If it's a friend of mine I might but I'd rather see it in person and congratulate them. I certainly won't be judging their hands. It just seems like such a waste of money. That's $3,000.00 that could go towards your wedding. To each his own I suppose.
I didn't pay that for the ring...actually 4 rings combined.
ReplyDeleteyea I wonder if the hand work costs more than some of these rings.
DeleteThis is a real thing? These people need less money and more common sense.
ReplyDeleteApparently it is. I think your hands look fine by the way.
DeleteThis kind of goes with an article I read recently about how women are just so excited about being engaged and all the frill rather than being excited to actually marry the man of their dreams and spend their life with them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. If you go on the Weddingbee forums you'll see how bad it is.
DeleteI heard about this on the radio. Crazy!!
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised that this was an actual thing but I feel like I shouldn't have been surprised since people are obsessed with perfect instagram photos these days.
DeleteI heard about this the other day! What's wrong with people?!
ReplyDeleteseriously, I don't even know. Give me the 3k
DeleteI'm concerned about the world we live in.
ReplyDeleteLike you said, she could put that money toward the wedding. Or the honeymoon! Or, you know, like a down payment for a house or car or something. The idiocy of some people.
There are so many things that money could be used for. I mean we have instagram filters and photoshop people!
DeleteWhile I agree that this is terrible and I would never do it.... I kind of get it.
