Looking good
by Will, 8 November 2007
The second installment of The Dude getting his self-improvement treatment/torture is now available - unfortunately you only get a little bit of text accompanying some pictures online. The greedy profiteering bastards at VF have deemed it so.
A refurbished but unreformed Hitchens at the Plaza Athénée. “As I look back on my long and arduous struggle to make myself over, I am more than ever sure that it’s enough to be born once, and to take one’s chances, and to grow old disgracefully.”

Those teeth are truly frightening!
I can’t recognize him in the before or after pictures.

When did they do a Mr. Potato Head Hitchens Edition?
I want one for Christmas.

I am overawed. This is not a simple make over. Looks like he was having his teeth re-capped, not just whitened. He must have been stretched out on that chair for hours, poor man.
On the other hand, I refuse to extend my compassion to the waxing session. Sweet revenge.
Seinfeld explains:
“I don’t understand how a woman can take boiling hot wax, pour it on upper thighs, rip the hair out by the roots, and still be afraid of a spider.”

He’s got that dodgy boxing promoter thing going right on.

Could see those waxing strips with Hitch pubes ending up on e-bay :-)

Picture 9 was the worst of the lot. Looked like he was wearing a bastard diaper.

I am not sure that the Hitch attracts fans of the pube-purchasing persuasion.
Completely unrelated, stop whatever you’re doing, and watch Top Hat.

I believe they are called towels Darren.
And since when have nappies become diapers in your world.

“I am not sure that the Hitch attracts fans of the pube-purchasing persuasion.”
Well Will is a bit odd isn’t he, so who knows.

Will,
If he insists on getting American teeth, he can look like he’s wearing an American nappy.

“If he insists on getting American teeth…”
He didn’t insist — his editors did.

No. 9 looks like a pieta.

“getting American teeth”
Over here in Yankland, we call those “good” teeth.

Most funny.
Over here we call them ‘over manicured to the point of absurdity’.
