Get Plastic Surgery…Because You’ve ‘Earned’ It. Say What?
Reading XiaXue Left Me Banging My Head On My Desk
I’ll admit it. Sometimes I read the fashion blog penned by the infamous, unbelievably popular, Singaporean ingenue, XiaXue. Reading her blog was hard at first, but, with enough concentration, I could ignore the author’s bleached blonde hair, baby-blue contacts and unnaturally pale skin (all visible thanks to the huge self-portrait that adorns her site’s banner) and actually pay attention to its content. Occasionally, the content is useful. For example, XiaXue’s in-depth breakdown of how to use Invisalign, or her critical reviews of how certain skin care products may not be all that they’re cracked up to be were well done. But, after reading her article “Pysche of a Plastic,” my room was filled with the sound of my head repeatedly hitting the desk in front of me.
‘Earning’ Plastic Surgery
In this blog post, XiaXue gets as down-to-earth and as brutally honest as she can possibly get about what it means to be a person who gets a lot of plastic surgery. And, I mean a lot! According to the knife-loving blogger, plastic surgery is merely permanent makeup and is not that big of a deal. She doesn’t go under the knife because she’s cripplingly insecure, rather she does it because it’s a hobby. I guess the best thing I can say about this post is that XiaXue doesn’t pretend that she was born with her plastic looks, and she disses on other “plastic” people who deny that they have been under the knife. But then, XiaXue suggests to her readers that it’s more fair for people to buy their perfect looks via plastic surgery than it is for them to be born with them. You see, in her world those who were born naturally beautiful didn’t do anything to “earn” their good looks.
Yeah. I too said “WTF?!”
This time she has gone too far. According XiaXue’s reasoning, those who get plastic surgery can be proud of themselves because they “earned” these looks (by paying in pain and cash), and damn those lazy, good-looking bastards whose good looks came to them naturally via good genes. This type of inane reasoning will do nothing but further the plastic surgery craze that is already on the rampage (consider that in Korea, 1 out of 10 adults has undergone some type of cosmetic procedure). People, there is a reason why synthetic diamonds are not as precious, coveted or as costly as real ones. Please don’t make a mockery of nature and its power to create true beauty simply because you’re bitter that someone else was born with what you were not. Furthermore, let’s drop the “fairness” shit when trying to justify getting cosmetic surgery. The last time I checked, life isn’t, never was and never will be what a vast majority of humanity considers to be “fair.”
Don’t Judge Me Because I’m Insipid & Promote Low Self Esteem
XiaXue goes on to say that it’s BS that ugly people can get plastic surgery and society accepts this practice, but that when a pretty or normal looking person undergoes plastic surgery to improve on their already reasonable good looks, people scoff and judge them as being vain. Well, of course they do. Hasn’t she ever heard of the phrase, “Don’t fix what ain’t broken”? Whether we want to admit it or not, the facts of each individual’s story changes how “acceptable” society finds their actions. If someone is horribly scarred and needs facial or body reconstruction in order to function normally in society, that’s a totally different story from a girl who chooses to get a double eyelid surgery because she doesn’t want to look too “ethnic.” One is a damn near necessity, and the other is a “just because I can” binge. Unless you can find a way to tell me that the Japanese pop sensation Ayumi Hamasaki improved the quality of her life by making her eyes bigger than saucers, you’re just not going to convince me to feel that she “deserved” or “earned” this procedure.
And please, let’s not begin to suggest that XiaXue is just encouraging people to improve their self esteem by condoning the buying of “perfect looks.” All the plastic surgery in the world will never fix a poor self-image, because, as far as I know, there is no surgery to “quick fix” matters of the heart. The fact that it’s actually encouraged for young women in Korea to get plastic surgery because it’s “normal,” and that these women feel they’ll never be successful or marry well without going under the knife is simply messed up. If all we have to do is “work hard and buy perfection,” where’s the impetus for us to discover our inner beauty?
I guess in the world of the XiaXues the catch phrase of the times would be, “Maybe she’s born with it; but more likely she bought that shit.”
Word. I don’t really care what people do with their own bodies, but it’s a different thing entirely to pretend that it’s some sort of ideological statement you’re making instead of just being vain and bored.
Tell me about it, man. On one hand, I suppose I can give her props for being so open about her cosmetic surgery procedures and so on and so forth… but to go as far as to deem all the natural beauties of the world as “lazy bitches” because they came out on top of aesthetic natural selection? Hell, I may not be the most beautiful person in the world, but I don’t use it as an excuse to get plastic surgery and say it’s okay simply because I spend monetary units to get something fake. Anyone can do that; but not everyone can be naturally beautiful… inside and out.
Hi Sharon,
It is me, the person you are slandering on your article. Firstly let me start by saying how disappointed I am in you that right in the start of your rampage against me, you insult my looks. Thank you for proving me right that the first thing assholes (like you!) use to attack others with is their appearance and how important appearance is. You may say that you were attacking my artificial looks – buts I’m sorry to inform you that my “unnaturally pale skin” is natural. In fact, I try to tan as often as possible. It’s not my fault I turn so pasty so fast. So what now, should I get plastic surgery on my skin to please you?
I’ve got beef with your title. Nowhere in the article did I ever encourage people to get plastic surgery because they earned it. Please remove it or I’d have to take further action.
I refer to your conclusion that I seem to hate on naturally beautiful people because they didn’t somehow pay to get their looks.
Perhaps you got this from my sentence: “People should respect fake beauties and say, “At least you went through pain and cash to get here instead of the natural bitches who had to do nothing.” LOL!! CORRECT OR CORRECT!”
Please. Anyone can see that that is obviously a joke. To say I am bitter and somehow hate natural beauties – that is ludicrous. And somehow ironic as you put the pre-surgery photo of me on the top of your post. I was never ugly, honey. Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you. So what now, I am supposed to hate myself? Ridiculous.
” I was never ugly, honey. Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you.”
No, you’re weren’t supposed to hate yourself… but maybe being an actual human being worthy of remembering would be a good start. Being a bitch on the internet and getting a shitton of surgeries? Wow, I can totally die feeling fulfilled with my life! I’m really worth knowing!
Bitch, please. Your hair is worth more than your personality, and that says something.
I was famous way before I got any work done. As for being an actual human being worthy of remembering… That’s right… People will remember me after I die. As a pioneer blogger in Singapore and the most popular one in Asia Pacific. You? Not so much. Sad.
hahaha. too much confidence? yeah people will do remember you as that girl with a rotten attitude and a foul mouth try-hard, american wanna be, and then they’d think of you as a disgusting creature. that’s very much sad.
When she stops blogging or when she dies, no one will care. Maybe her closest friends or rabid fans with nothing better to do will care, but it’s blogging. It’s artificial and superficial. She’s not like TheOatmeal or Hyperboleandahalf who publish books with their artwork that will always be remembered for their wit and hilarity, nor is she like GalaDarling who is not only a blogger, but a public speaker and someone who actually tries to reach out and HELP OTHERS with a genuine and good heart alongside logic.
Xiaxue didn’t touch anyone’s life on a deep level. She didn’t make a difference in the world – she’s cheap entertainment that you read for 5 minutes and then forget about later. Oh sure, she has some nice advertisements and she takes good pictures: big deal! When you break down her blog, there’s nothing to her at all.
Being a “pioneer blogger” doesn’t mean much when she’s not publishing anything worth remembering. When she’s dead, it’ll be gone. Nothing will last past her death at ALL. No work, no inspiration, NOTHING.
hahaha very true! i totally agree.
Please bitch! Stop insulting her as you probably look like a donkey’s ass. First of all, what makes you think you can accuse her of wanting to be American. WTF? First of all, American isn’t a race. And yeah, I think she can have confidence and a lot of it because she is a good person and she is beautiful. If you’re a prick she will obviously respond and she’s not going to be cheery to an idiotic bitch. And just because she is famouse for being honest and tells her honest opinion about a lot of things unlike other celebrities doesn’t make her a “foul mouth try-hard” it makes her a real person who is successful unlike you.
Actually, you have no idea who I am or what I do. You have no idea if I am already famous or how much money I make, or what kind of person I am or what I do. So, please shove that shit right back where it came from. You might not be able to tell if it was your ass or your face, since they look similar.
If I had to choose between my current occupation and my current influence or being you? I would choose myself any day of the week. Well-known in my career circle? Check. Plenty of job offers? Check. Plenty of travelling opportunities? Check. Published and paid for it? Check. Actually loved for who I am and actually doing things that will last beyond my death? Check.
And I didn’t have to be a bitch to do it, nor did I ever have to go under the knife once. Oh and also! I was discovered for my intelligence AND my beauty, not just one of them. Oh yes, and it’s a REAL occupation that involves actually doing things with people, not just taking pictures of myself and showing up to events and “looking pretty”. It actually involves a brain, which is something I doubt you’re acquainted with.
Your assumption that I am not as beautiful as you or as famous as you is about as worthwhile as your personality and your so-called “amazing” opinions.
You are sadly mistaken if you think anyone will remember you…unless you mean infamous rather than famous. One should be judged by their character, how they act, and the deeds they perform. I suppose I might remember you for being childish, petty and completely superficial–laughing at an old dying woman who had a hard time in a security line. You aren’t a good person. http://twitter.com/#!/Xiaxue/status/85622767470387200 You will just claim it’s a joke, though, because you are shallow and insipid.
famous?? oh yeah in sg. that country is so tiny
LOL so true…imagine U’re living in the US or other bigger countries. It ain’t easy to become famous. So many of my mixed friends from Int’l school become models for sing mags in the 90′s while I was living there. It’s cheesy, they hardly choose real Singaporean Singaporean as models. So easy to become famous there. I was also in GO magazine as Loreal advert and I wasn’t even have the model potential. LOL LOL…
First thing first, I would say the person who posted this was not in the right to insult people. And xiaxue should not have insulted her as well. Other extra people who gang up and insult xiaxue is no angel . This wasn’t even a point worth arguing to in the first place. People have their own opinions, and that will always be the same. But blowing up a matter is not nice. Please learn to respect other people before you want people to respect you. I would say NO one is in the right because both parties did not compromise with each other so dun bother to continue arguing.
I just hope that you will love your natural you than doing something is actually not you. I feel you are more beautiful when you were before than now which is not you . I think that natural beauty is always beautiful than fake your own god given beauty and maybe I’m not as beautiful as you but I have already won without faking my face and body and also the most important my confidence because you only change your beauty is mainly because you think is not perfect but it shouldn’t be because you just have to love for who you are and not change things that is not you at the first place.
thats kinda funny you said you were nver ugly. you posted on your blog one time its not your fault you were born ugly. LIAR as always.
Hi Xia Xue,
. I was searching for topics related to you when I see this post. I agree with you that there was nothing on your blog that encourages plastic surgery, even though you did provide us with a lot of information. For all you people who are implying that Xiaxue is encouraging plastic surgery, stop being delusional. Information =/= encouragement. So let’s say our school has all the talks about sex education and you are going to tell me that our school encourages sex? No way right? Xiaxue has videos which answers queries regarding plastic surgery and she tells us the whole truth about it, the pain and the discomfort included, which give us viewers information. And I read her post regarding the Pysche of a Plastic an d I agree with her. Doesn’t it seem like the world really think this way? Like how when ugly people get plastic surgery to look better it is all okay, and it is not okay when good looking people get it to look even better.
I am a fan of yours and I read all your blog entries and watch all your GTL
Also, with regards to your phrase “Don’t fix what is not broken”, I am afraid it is not the most suitable here. Do you do services for your car? Yes you do. But it is not broken, so why service? We are talking about two things here: enhancement and fixing. Plastic surgery is for those with defects in their looks, aka your “broken” definition. Enhancement or better known as cosmetic surgery is to better your looks. There is nothing wrong with having better looks to give yourself confidence. Better to look awesome with plastic surgery than to look average without. Besides, I admire those who got surgeries, it takes courage.
I think Xiaxue is beautiful, whether she has surgery or not, and of course brave. And no doubt she is famous and people love her for who she is. I am not saying anything bad about your views, but well, I disagree and as Xiaxue’s loyal fan, I have to say something.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day:)
All I was trying to establish is that people should not hate on others for “cheating” their way up the looks department because people who have had plastic surgery paid for it in consequences too. Your diamond analogy is irrelevant. A synthetic diamond cannot work hard to get as shiny as the real thing. But even if I did, I never did mention it should get MORE respect and adoration than the natural thing, just that it doesn’t deserve to be looked down upon so much.
I notice that you started your second paragraph saying that I am insipid and promote low self esteem. If I’m insipid dear, why are you still reading me? You love reading a dull, boring blog? Perhaps it is because you are even more insipid than me?
I have proven, in my long years blogging, that I often encourage women to stand up for themselves. Here’s an example of an article: http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2006/09/weak-women.html
Promoting low self esteem? Where is your proof?
I noticed that you chose to compare a horribly scarred person and a person who wants to ditch their race to justify your view that if is ok to judge someone based on whether YOU find they can function “normally” in society.
To this I reply, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? Who are you to decide on whether someone has a valid reason or not to get plastic surgery? To you a Chinese girl who decides to get double eyelid surgery is hating her own race.
” A synthetic diamond cannot work hard to get as shiny as the real thing.”
Actually, if you knew jack shit about precious stones, you’d know “fake” diamonds actually shine MORE than the real ones (i.e. Swarovski Crystal is actually glass and NOT a precious stone and will always ‘glitter’ more than an actual diamond or produce a rainbow effect, which real diamonds do NOT do) because they are man made. We make them shinier, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re not real.
Wow, way to comment on one small thing she mentioned, rather than respond intelligently to her actual point. I would like to point out one thing: I am female, I’ve never had plastic surgery, and I don’t think I ever would, but I stand up for people’s right to do with their body as they choose. You can like it or move on and find something else to bitch about, because what you’re doing is just pure irrational judgement based on your own personal opinions of people, instead of looking at something with an open mind. No one is better than anyone else, especially not for having any specific reasoning behind getting plastic surgery (whether it’s for burns/scars or just a nose job because they dislike their nose). Your name shouldn’t be “Logic”, it should be “Whining”.
LOL yeah Shannon… After reading that I was like “WTF are you yabberin’ about? Get to the point.” Only thing he/she proved is that fake diamonds are more shiny?? Erm, so?
so it means that you may look “shiny” like a diamond but you are still a fake. just like what you are now. i bet if you can’t persuade people here to change their minds and follow your crooked opinions you’d blog about this how you were being misinterpreted and wronged and hated, probably set up a hate blog for Sharon-Ann too, just like what you do to those you don’t approve of.
Wow, way to comment back to me about the actual topic.
Xiaxue said something incorrect about diamonds and fake ones. I corrected her. If I don’t choose to respond to anything else she says, then that’s my decision, isn’t it?
You spelled “winning” wrong, btw, since there’s nothing “whiney” about correcting someone who thinks they’re always right.
always sensitive when it comes to your looks. corrected your teeth, your nose, but the poor self esteem is still there. if leg extensions were available in the market, i bet youd go for those too. using profanity does not discount the fact that youre ugly in and out.
XX,
You have provided us with a link to an article that you have written for you blog, claiming that it is an example of you encouraging women to stand up for themselves.
Your article repulsed me. I did not see you encourage women at all– all you did was express your annoyance at women who seem to let their boyfriends/husbands control them. You also stated: “I hate weak women!!!!!”
After describing a scenario where a woman is bullied by her boyfriend, you say: “If Eric is totally handsome I can understand the sacrifice. If he is terribly rich I can understand too. Or maybe his character is very good? But he is just really scrawny, wears bell-bottoms, not very clever, not very nice, and certainly quite poor.”
You are saying it is justified for a woman to allow herself to be bullied if the bully is handsome or rich. Nowhere in your article do I see you tell women to stand up for themselves.
You disgust me, XX. I cannot believe you dare post this link and claim that it is an example of how you encourage women to stand up for themselves.
What the hell do you know about her life? Maybe she is nicknamed Slit Eyes in school and all the white kids tease her. So what now, she is supposed to go through the pain? But if a burn victim decides NOT to go through his pain of being stared/teased, that’s ok? Why, coz one of them is born with it so they should accept it? Bullshit. By your logic someone with a cleft lip is not allowed to operate on it. Why do it? Joaquim phoenix has it. He is still good-looking. Accept it like him, right? Why should a fat person diet for beauty reasons? Plenty of fat people functioning normally. Accept it.
Conclusion? It is not up to YOU to decide what is “acceptable” for others.
Even if someone is just completely vapid and is “fixing something that isn’t broken”, so what? You are like that obstinate child angry with your classmates for studying hard because if everyone didn’t study, your grades would be better than theirs since you are naturally smarter. Get with the times. Good-looking people get better jobs, greater opportunities, more eligible spouses. If you choose to lag behind, that’s your business. But don’t you dare hate on others who strive for better.
And don’t give me that crap about inner beauty. What has that got to do with anything? Nobody said a plastic person cannot be kind-hearted.
Sharon, I think you just got owned.
Agreed. #shotsfired.
No, she didn’t. Where did Sharon get owned? All I see from Xiaxue is, “Blah blah blah, I’m insecure.”
if anything she proved sharon right.
I agree with you.
Kira Knight recently posted..Nonsense Light Up My World
First of all, I would like to thank you, XiaXue, and all of your wonderful, loyal, and avid supporters for taking the time out to reply to this post. If I’d thought that simply stating an opinion would really draw this much attention… then well, I probably would have had this published sooner. Due to the energy put forth in all of these replies, it is only fair I exercise the same effort in return.
I look and see that most of your fans are claiming that I’m illiterate, but as far as I know, Commentarista only accepts authors who have a moderate to high grasp of the English language to publish on their site. Now, how those words are interpreted is completely left to the mercy of those that have access to your material as well as the material you see posted here, and you are free to interpret them however you please. I will, nonetheless, do my best to make them clear so that they are understood and clarified to the best of my ability.
“You may say that you were attacking my artificial looks” – I was merely agreeing with you on the fact that you’ve used plastic surgery to alter your looks as you please. According to the article in which I’ve linked for everyone to read as they please… you also aren’t ashamed of it. I am very glad to know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. However, if you are as self-confident and secure as you’ve claimed, then I highly doubt that you would waste the time to write a three part reply to someone who is “just another bitch”. I’m assuming I’m just one “bitch” of many, and if you truly go out of your way to be as elaborate as you have been in your replies with others who have certainly gone on a genuine “rampage” than I have been, then I’m rather amused. If I am one of the lucky few to have gotten such lavish attention from an internet superstar, then I am honored.
“I’m sorry to inform you that my “unnaturally pale skin” is natural.” – I’m happy to hear that, and I stand corrected. I hope you understand my original doubt in the authenticity of whatever your natural skin color may be due to your admittance of using Photoshop to manipulate your images.
“So what now, should I get plastic surgery on my skin to please you?” – No, but I’m sure if you felt like doing so for your own pleasure and benefit, then you may feel free to do or to not do so at your leisure.
“I’ve got beef with your title. Nowhere in the article did I ever encourage people to get plastic surgery because they earned it.” – I’m sorry to hear that you have beef with the title. I have beef with a lot of things on the internet as well, so it is something we do seem to have in common. The internet is serious business, of course. I’ve re-read my piece and I don’t see where I directly quoted you as saying that you’ve encouraged people to get plastic surgery. I stated my opinion based on what could be implied from your piece, and nothing more than that. I’m not quite so sure what legal action can be taken based on a freely stated opinion on a public blog that flounders in the face of your internet infamy, yet is still protected by the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution.
“Anyone can see that that is obviously a joke.” – Obviously, not anyone can see that. I very well may be one of the only people to have published something on a blog misinterpreting your meaning, but I highly doubt that everyone knows that you were joking. But this is the unfortunate gamble that we all take when we let our words out to the world; they can, and most likely will be misinterpreted. I’m sure you already understand that, being as popular as you are and as seasoned in the blogosphere you’ve become.
“I was never ugly, honey. Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you.” – I am glad you were never ugly. I also applaud you for being physically more attractive than I am. You are one of many, I’m quite sure. I’m not quite so sure what that has to do with the piece in question, however.
“All I was trying to establish is that people should not hate on others for “cheating” their way up the looks department because people who have had plastic surgery paid for it in consequences too.” – That has been firmly established now, thank you for clarification.
“If I’m insipid dear, why are you still reading me?” – All knowledge is worth having. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from you simply by reading these exchanges, and outside of that I’m sure it was already mentioned in my article above that you do have some pretty informative blog posts. I’m sorry that it seems I either have to completely agree with you, or I must completely loathe every word you type and everything you do. I’m not that invested in the blogging world to lean so far from one way or the other, but I do enjoy making commentary when I feel like doing so.
“To you a Chinese girl who decides to get double eyelid surgery is hating her own race.” – I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware I wrote that at all. If you can securly prove this in the article I wrote, then I will strike you a deal and show you the proof you seem to want to find concerning the whole “promoting low self esteem” bit.
“It is not up to YOU to decide what is “acceptable” for others.” – Of course it’s not. People may do or say what they want as they please. I’m not God. However, it is fully within my right to state my mind.
“If you choose to lag behind, that’s your business. But don’t you dare hate on others who strive for better.” – I never said anything about me choosing to lag behind, but I do agree that if I did, then it would obviously be my business. It is also as much of an opinion as anything else written thus far on what “better” is. You have yours, I have mine, and so does anyone else. Will you “hate” on others who choose not to believe in the mainstream societical view of beauty and have a different idea of what “better” would be?
“Nobody said a plastic person cannot be kind-hearted.” – I’m sure someone said it, but it sure as hell wasn’t me.
TLDR
“Hi, my name is Xiaxue, and I’m too dumb to actually form a coherent reply of actual intelligence, so I’m going to pretend to be TOO COOL FOR DIS THREAD LOL and post something immature. Pls admire me me still for pretending to be bad-ass lolololololol.”
vertically challenged, fake, fake, fake, has an inbred husband, what else, thinks the world revolves around her, fake, ..never been ugly? lolllllll
Dear Sharon,
Though I am on the other side of the world from you, I would kinda like to marry you right now. Or bake you copious amounts of cookies – except I suck at baking. Hm. I can fingerpaint like nobody’s business, though. Perhaps a giant fingerpainted mural would suffice to demonstrate my love for a person who is actually reasonable, polite, mature, above stupid ad hominem arguments, and good at English on the internet. As far as I’ve seen, you are … pretty much the only one. Or at least one of a very, very few.
xoxo,
雨
I think it seems a bit silly to post replies to her and comment on bits and pieces of things she’s said. Can’t you just ignore her comments? The comments you wrote just appear defensive.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with voicing an opinion about someone but your article seemed to be attacking her. Obviously you didn’t use as many cuss words as some people on the internet would, but you are basically still talking trash about her and her looks (the whole “bleach blonde hair” and “unnaturally pale skin” thing, as well as other things you said about her being bitter, etc). And she has every right to comment back to you and insult you in the same way, as you’ve shown it’s fair ground. I have super pale skin and blonde hair (shock!), would you complain about that too if you saw me on the street?
“Can’t you just ignore her comments?” – Going by that logic, couldn’t she just ignore my post to begin with? If I appear defensive, then I’m not sure what XiaXue appears to be when she initially replied to this commentary.
“Also, there’s nothing wrong with voicing an opinion about someone but your article seemed to be attacking her.” – Just as my article seemed to be attacking her, her original post seemed to be attacking naturally pretty people for not having “earned” their beauty like those who have undergone cosmetic surgery. On both accounts, there is nothing wrong with her rebuttal, and there is nothing wrong with me replying to it.
“the whole “bleach blonde hair” and “unnaturally pale skin” thing, as well as other things you said about her being bitter, etc” – Well, she does have bleach blonde hair, and while the matter has been cleared up about her pale skin being unnatural, I’m surprised that sentence about being bitter wasn’t viewed as a general message to those that actually might get plastic surgery because they were not born with what they covet in others, especially since I never explicitly said “Xiaxue is bitter because she bought her looks”.
Yes, she does have every right to her opinion, and I am very glad she took a stand and replied.
“I have super pale skin and blonde hair (shock!), would you complain about that too if you saw me on the street?” – No, I can’t say I would particularly notice.
This is awesome rebuttal!
Love the way you argue! And yes you are right!

About time someone points that out. XiaXue thinks that what she says is authority and that nobody will ever realize what she’s up to. She thinks that by bitching out she’s making people see her as a strong person, it’s just basically showing how rotten your attitude can be. Simply put, XiaXue just want to put her “thoughts” and “opinions” across the WWW so that she can justify her need to alter her face. Everybody knows that she’s look like an alien and she hides her ego being hurt by saying “i don’t care what you say” but still continues to bitch out.
“Everybody knows that she’s look like an alien”
Um, no she doesn’t? She looks like a regular human being.
it’s very ironic that if xiaxue’s bitching on her blog about someone or something people take it as she’s being “xiaxue” but when someone else notices her bitching and say their opinions about her they become haters. so i take it that xiaxue doesn’t know how to hate but she’s only stating opinions and people who have opinions about her opinions are haters? so am i to conclude that it’s xiaxue who only have the right to state “opinions” and the rest of us have nothing but hate in her? clearly she have blind “fans” and “minions” who follow her, if you google her name, you find proof of her creating hate sites intended for blinkymummy and this kimberlycun.
and yeah she does look like an alien. a lot of people have already said that at first glance and get disgusted. xiaxue should learn to hold her tongue before she lashes out on her “haters” because she’s just an artificial beauty and trying hard to be accepted by the society. she’s only treated nicely but only those who can really accept her would. i don’t doubt that she has friends, all of us do, but she should also give way to people who also stand on an opinion other than hers.
It’s one thing to have an OPINION about something, but when you say “Everybody knows that she’s look like an alien”, that is implying that EVERYONE agrees with you and your opinion. You’re stating it as if it’s fact, when it’s not. It’s purely your own opinion, which you are entitled to (even if I think it’s fucking ridiculous). I would love to look like her, photoshop or not. I see her videos (without being photoshopped, obviously) and she still looks gorgeous.
correction please, search the name xiaxue and you will find that yes EVERYBODY thinks that she looks like an alien, if not uglier than before. open your eyes. it didn’t just come from me and im not the one to spew things like this without a valid reason for my point.
[I would love to look like her, photoshop or not. I see her videos (without being photoshopped, obviously) and she still looks gorgeous.] -these are your words Shannon. I didn’t originally wanted to do this, but since you wanted to prove your argument over mine, here’s a photo of xiaxue doing her videos and makeup. see for yourself and tell me that you would still love to look like her. the real her since you also pointed that out “photoshop OR not” http://i56.tinypic.com/70clll.jpg
Lol, I have seen that video. I know what she looks like without makeup. You’re just being petty by pointing it out. And I’m pretty sure that what I say still stands. You think she looks like an alien, and yes I’m sure other people do. But does EVERYONE? No, because then she wouldn’t have any fans, or a husband, or friends. The mere fact that I disagree with you proves that you can’t generalize it like that and say “everyone” because (last time I checked) I count as a person too. So my opinion counts just as much as the others who disagree with me. Therefore, NOT EVERYONE.
I read that blog entry too and I thought it was written very well. And I thought it was pretty obvious Xiaxue was just joking about natural beauties being “lazy bitches”. I think this Sharon person hasn’t read Xiaxue’s blog long enough to understand her humor and that’s why she’s the only person throwing a tantrum about it. Wasn’t “Psyche of a Plastic” posted months ago? No one overreacted about it back then because no one took her words as literally as Sharon did. By the time I finished reading Xiaxue’s post I was left with the impression that she WASN’T trying to encourage everyone to run out and get plastic surgery. It was a mind-opening article and I find it extremely unfair that illiterate people like Sharon have to go and ruin Xiaxue’s real message just because they can’t take a joke.
I find it extremely unfair for you to say Sharon is illiterate. Disagreeing with Xiaxue for having a really (REALLY) poor sense of humour as well as being too superficial? Yes. Illiterate? No. I don’t think someone would be able to even write an article if they were illiterate.
Oh wait, am I taking what you said too LITERALLY? Does this mean that by having a LITERATE grasp on something, I’m now illiterate too?
sharon illiterate? get your head out of your ass . xx is the one who can never take a joke. not just that, anything said against her she would go on a rampage and even invite her rabid fans to flay on her “enemy” for her. very cowardly i should say.
look up the word illiterate before you spew such words. dumb ass.
You go, Xiaxue! I completely agreed with everything you said, and I’m glad you spoke out against this post. Sharon, I think you totally misinterpreted Xiaxue’s post about this topic. Even I could tell she was joking about the whole “respecting fake beauties more than natural ones”. Like, seriously? You obviously haven’t been reading a lot of her blog posts, if you can’t differentiate between Xiaxue joking and Xiaxue being serious. However, what really pissed me off when reading your post is when you used those two examples, which were COMPLETE EXTREMES, on what is socially acceptable, as far as plastic surgery goes. Honestly, why did you immediately jump to the conclusion that a monolid Asian girl would want to get blethoplasty because she wants to look less “ethnic”? I highly doubt many Asian girls whom do this procedure do it for that reason. You may consider people who do these types of procedures frivolous and “shallow”, but judging one before even knowing his or her story on the matter is pretty shallow, as well.
“Honestly, why did you immediately jump to the conclusion that a monolid Asian girl would want to get blethoplasty because she wants to look less “ethnic”? I highly doubt many Asian girls whom do this procedure do it for that reason.”
I’m definitely not saying that EVERY Asian girl who undergoes that procedure does it for that reason, but it’d be inaccurate to say that there aren’t those who do. Examples for such would be in the following links in which you may feel free to peruse at your disposal:
http://www.aznlover.com/community/archive/index.php/t-15077-p-2.html – A person came out here admitting that the reason he/she wanted blethoplasty was to explicitly look less Asian. He/She unfortunately came under some pretty nasty fire for admitting it, and I do feel that a lot of the feedback was unnecessary. However, this is the internet, and people will say what they will.
http://www.femininebeauty.info/cosmetic-surgery-changing-ethnic-looks – This source shows pictured examples and states that the “the surgery makes her look less Asian/less ethnic”.
Likewise, there are other sources that say otherwise, such as follows:
http://www.eplasticsurgery.com/eps-face.html – This source states that it is a common misconception that all women who undergo blethoplasty want to be more “Western” in appearance, that it is instead to promote a youthful, healthy appearance.
There are also sources out there that veer more to the middle and simply make both points apparent:
http://www.mysurgery.com.sg/double-eyelid-surgery/ – This article is a good one that compiles the opinions of people and reasoning as to why they would get this eyelid surgery.
These resources are not meant to be taken as exhaustive, as neither you nor I have the time to fish through thousands of links on the same topics saying the same things, so I merely gave the very tip of the iceburg. So, as you can see, I wasn’t exactly jumping to conclusions. The information is out there, all I had to do was find it. I would like to make it clear that I am not implying that XiaXue or even the J-Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki got eyelid surgery to look “less ethnic”. They both did it for their own reasons that I’m not privy to. However, should Ayumi Hamasaki come across this article and enlighten me on her own personal reasons for getting her eyelid surgery, then I am more than welcome and humbled to be someone she shares that information with. I’ve admittedly always assumed that superstars have better things to do than to concern themselves with something that could definitely be considered to be a frivolous detail.
you see, behind every joke you say, there’s a little bit of truth in it.
i read the article too and i have the same take on the blogpost as sharon did. my thoughts may not be fully the same as sharon’s, but as “influential” Xiaxue is, she may not be aware that her “jokes” may affect someone and try and jump off a tall building -just an exagg tho. but i think you get my point.
Hey Marie, how about YOU jump off a building? No? Damn, I wish I was THAT effective.
hahah, XiaXue XiaXue i said it was only an exaggeration. no need to be affected by it, i guess i am effective that you got affected by what i said. :p
the point is, you might be speaking to impressionable kids that looks up to you and “might” get into thinking that YOU are persuading them…im sure you know what it meant, no need to be fuming about it. you need to stop justifying yourself. you put yourself on the net, you wrote what’s on your head, someone else read it and probably took it differently why be so mad about it? are you saying that what you wrote on your blog is not what you meant? or what is it?
See, this is why Xiaxue is only “beautiful” on the outside. No matter how many plastic surgeries you get, you’re still ugly on the inside.
Oh and btw, being beautiful on the inside? Improves EXTERNAL beauty as well, although that’s not something you “need”, is it? After all, people “love” you. Really.
xiaxue makes an argument that’s very economic in essence and one that may initially be hard to stomach because it feels so detached from the sort of passionate ardour one usually holds when one raves about beauty. she talks about it in a very clinical fashion– there is intrinsically no difference between a burn victim (with recovered wounds, mind you) getting constructive surgery from an unattractive girl getting cosmetic surgery, because neither procedure is technically essential but based on improving one’s looks. maybe the burn victim case may trigger in you an instinctive emotional reaction but if you actually think about it carefully, what she said is true.
also, natural beauty vs artifical beauty– what xiaxue is trying to say is not to say that natural beauty is not “earned” and therefore lesser than artificial beauty paid for with money. what she IS saying is that just because the beauty is artificial doesn’t make it inferior to natural beauty and that people shouldn’t hate on plastic beauties just because they paid for it (in fact, people should be more empathetic because those who undergo surgery actually paid and for their beauty, unlike natural beauties who “didn’t do anything”). the point she was probably going for here is that you don’t have to put plastic beauties on a pedestal, just don’t disrespect them just because of a cosmetic procedure they did. it does seem like a crude argument but it is not an invalid one. why should anyone hate on people who get cosmetic surgeries? that’s just as superficial as people who judge others based on their looks.
None of that changes the fact that Xiaxue’s personality is ugly.
I don’t hate on “plastic beauties” just because they paid for it. I will tell you what I personally respect, and you may take it or leave it as you wish: I respect someone who has the balls to be truthful about what they choose or not choose to do with their bodies, no matter what society approves or disapproves of. I respect someone who is happy with their choice in deciding to get cosmetic surgery. I do NOT respect someone who appears to serve natural beauty a backhanded compliment as justification for getting plastic surgery.
Xiaxue’s personality is ugly? Says you, Logic. Who died and made you king?
i am in no way supporting this article but i have seen xiaxue getting on the offense side too many times when people write about their opinions, mostly negative, about her. it seems like to me that xiaxue can bitch about other bloggers/whoever but noone is allow to bitch about her??
kind of a hypocrite if you ask me and of course she wouldn’t admit to this and come up with some kind of reasoning to make it seem like she has or had a “valid” reason to bash other people.
she has always use the old “this is my blog and i can write whatever i want” but apparently everyone else does not have the same, for the lack of a better word, “right”.
It’s completely true. Xiaxue can talk about (and publicly make fun of) ANYONE she likes, she can INTERPRET OTHER PEOPLE however she likes, but the moment someone does it about her, she threatens to “call her lawyer”?
This is why it’s obvious she’s insecure. If she wasn’t insecure, this wouldn’t even bother her. She wouldn’t be this worked up otherwise. She’ll say it’s about how she is “being misrepresented” and that’s “offensive”, but if she doesn’t like this treatment, then she better STFU about other bloggers or other people on the internet. You slam others, get ready to be slammed back.
Of course, all of this would be solved if Xiaxue was actually a halfway decent person. But alas.
You keep commenting on her personality, which is just strange because based on what I’ve read from you, I could easily say you have a horrible personality too. You don’t know her, you can’t say anything about her personality unless you actually do. She’s abrasive and straight-to-the-point, which makes you think she’s just being a bitch. And you’re entitled to do so, but don’t keep commenting on it to every single person who agrees with you. It makes you seem petty. And I personally think she’s a pretty cool person, inside and out.
Also, I dunno about you, but I’ve met some “naturally beautiful” people who are downright HORRIBLE on the inside.
“She’s abrasive and straight-to-the-point, which makes you think she’s just being a bitch.”
It’s true that some people are simply too blunt for “polite society;” they speak their minds honestly and don’t coddle the insecurities of those around them. It’s also true that there are many, many people who use that kind of honesty as an excuse for being incredibly bitchy, being as mean or cruel as they please and, when others are hurt or taken aback by the rudeness, fling out “What? I’m just speakin’ the truth; it’s not my fault you can’t handle the truth” as if it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Obviously I don’t know XiaXue in person, and I really don’t care what she’s like as a person. She’s interacting with people online, and when anyone puts themselves into a medium, they give blanket permission for others to interact with them and judge them based purely on what they present. No one get to use “you don’t even know me irl!” as an excuse when someone calls them out for their behavior online.
All of that to say, XiaXue is acting like a bitch. She’s not acting “straight to the point;” she’s acting deliberately malicious, cruel, and petty, and I don’t need to know her as a person to look at her words and go, “Wow, you’re being incredibly rude and immature and petty and basically throwing your weight around like an internet drama queen pitching a text-hissy fit.” I have eyes, and I can read, and that’s really all it takes to make that kind of a judgement call in this situation.
This. Exactly this.
I commented on her personality because she needs to basically dig her head out of her ass and see the big picture. She demanded people change the title before she “calls her lawyer”, despite the fact that this is internet and people have probably said worse things. She told a reader to GO JUMP OFF A BUILDING. She says shit like, “I was prettier than you” and “I’m more successful/better than you” when she doesn’t even know us. You could argue back that we don’t even know her, but she blogs constantly and puts pictures of herself everywhere and tells the world what she does. So, I think we have a far better idea of who she is than she does of who WE are.
Her automatic assumption that she is a.) prettier or b.) more successful than everyone she is commenting to on this webpage proves that she has a sour personality and she’s not even worth listening to. She’s rude, she bullies others who don’t agree with her, and her sense of humour is lacking.
you got it right on. she thinks she owns the internet that only SHE is allowed to diss but dont you dare diss her. she is defnitely someone who has mistaken honesty for tactlessness and insensitivity. she is racist, looks down on people who have no degrees, poor people. remember how she even criticized one of those people running for sg office because he works in a warehouse and cant even come up with decent english..
for someone who cannot speak fluent english, you are not the person to diss your own kind ms wendy cheng
think of those people who are really famous and rich but do not talk like you do. for example, angelina jolie is rich, beautiful and a real white person but she doesnt even or wouldnt talk shit about poor people or look down on maids or people from poorer countries.
You are a moron, Waiwai. So what now, I cannot defend myself when someone puts words in my mouth? That’s being hypocritical? When I bitch about others, they can feel free to defend themselves. It is not my fault most of them do not have a valid defence. I do, and I’m gonna say it.
nobody said that you can’t defend yourself, but the fact of the matter is you having stated your opinions made others think about stating theirs on what you believe, it’s no rocket science and try to open your eyes around you-if you have opinions so does other people are you also telling us that we’re not to state our opinions and you only have the say in this? personally i am not judging you getting plastic surgery, sure it’s your money and your body, but the message you send across if you are familiar with action speaks louder that words are both effective tools to impressionable people who may be suffering from a low self-esteem, as you say that you are a “role model” for young singaporeans.
people do this all the time, that’s why people have debates, etc. someone has an opinion and so does the other, nobody is taking away that right from you. unless you’re too blinded by your own opinion then that’s not an opinion at all, you’re justifying the kind of lifestyle you wanna live on people’s eyes making you an unreliable person.
you are the real moron bitch.
xiaxue, saying “I was never ugly, honey. Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you.” really tickles my innards. you masuk bakul then you angkat sendiri. only you and your brainless fans would think that way. you were ugly before, uglier now & soon to be the ugliest hypocrite. enough said.
initially i was thinking of posting a link to one of her photos before her surgeries and let people judge her words “I was never ugly, honey. Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you.” but then again i know it wouldn’t be fair, but xiaxue needs some serious thinking about her choice of words now. she’s like a kid stomping her feet because she can’t get people to like her new dress or new toy.
I read that article a few months back too and I found it very entertaining.
While I don’t think plastic surgery should be the common solution most woman should turn to, I didn’t think that article was offensive at all.
What about the girls who dye their hair? The girls who get hair extensions? The girls who set up appointments for mani/pedis.
Actually, what about women in general, who feel that they need to tweeze, pluck and even put on make-up?
…Will there be an article on that? ‘Cause in my opinion, some of these women really are layering it on too thick to look natural. Will that be your next article?
It was very obvious that Xiaxue wrote that article with a comedic tone. But I guess you would require a sense of humour to really get the joke.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. All that came out of this was that you just made her blog THAT much more popular now. So I guess she and all her fans should really thank you for that.
I support you, Xiaxue! Keep up the good work!
Actually, those who run Commentarista as well as I should be thanking all of you as well as XiaXue for making THIS blog that much more popular. Seeing as though she has thousands of fans, what would be equivalent to pocket change in popularity to her is worth millions to a humble site such as this. I am glad that you took the time to stop by and offer your thoughts.
“What about the girls who dye their hair? The girls who get hair extensions? The girls who set up appointments for mani/pedis. Actually, what about women in general, who feel that they need to tweeze, pluck and even put on make-up? ” – Yes, there are women who dye their hair, get hair extensions, and get manicures and pedicures. What about them?
I also thank you for the topic suggestion for my next article, but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline. I hope that whenever I do get around to posting my next article for Commentarista, that you may visit again and leave your commentary. This site could use more active visitors such as yourself, as we wish to cultivate a community of people who intelligently convey their opinions in evidence of observance of the world around us.
No problem-o, don’t mention it. It was my pleasure. I should really thank you for being able to make me laugh after a stressful day!
Glad to see your copy & paste skills are up and running, though! You should make a point to put that on your resume.
Thanks for getting me into a good mood. Tell me – do you stand around all day in front of the mirror with your nose pointed upwards at your hoity-toity, “I’m so well-bred” manners or do you simply keep pushing that stick up your ass?
popular? in what way? In the thickest facial skin? You know, people read her blog doesnt mean they like her. In xiaxue’s case, probably half of her readers was just seeking funny, self praise post from this thick skinned clown. and I pity people like you, praising someone who really doesnt care a tiny rat’s poo about you. she’ll condemn you anytime she want. FYI, mr. bean is popular too.
It’s not protected under the first ammendenment if it’s besmerching someones character. Xiaxue Has thousands of followers who have proved on more then one occasion they will stand up for her when someone like you has the balls to make such ridiculous statements. I am a reader of her blog and also am going to go for plastic surgery. I felt frightened of how people are condemned for it, but xiaxue made it ok for people to admit they’ve gone under the knife – whatever their reason. You two need to give your head a shake, and think twice before posting this crap.
hohoho. thousands of followers you say? you only see them when she approves comments on her blog. but what about thousands of haters whom she deleted or declined the comments from her blog which you don’t or can’t see? you need to shake your head first, cause its not really working the way it suppose. you cannot differentiate crap from facts. I’m not against plastic surgery too, but some hypocrite clown condemn “others” for making plastic surgery and now who has done it too? but what a pity, she doesnt turn out to look good when “someone” else’s plastic surgery turn out to be very attractive.
She has nearly 70000 followers on twitter. Are those haters too? Get your facts right. You all need to google peter coffin. What she did to him she can do to any of you.
how do you know they’re all supporters? they maybe be just like I am. I like to read people’s stupidity too. like how I read your comments.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Your saying you subscribe to somebody, read hundreds of tweets just to read stupidity? Wow. You are probably the most pathetic person I’ve ever had the unfortunate opportunity of talking to. Get a life, it’s easy, turn off the computer, move out of your moms basement and find a boyfriend instead of using a vibrator. After many dates, stop reassuring yourself it’s them, not you! Pathetic!!!
oh wait. so now you’re threatening me with “You all need to google peter coffin. What she did to him she can do to any of you.”? who is she? oh my, I never thought you’re so an arsewipe person.
people read all sorts of stupidity for entertainment, they’re funny. like yourself. making you look stupid here defending someone else. pathetic, you can’t even differentiate a girl’s or guy’s nickname. and please, just keep the vibrator to yourself
I’m not trying to be rude but…is English your first language? You seem to be having trouble grasping the most basic elements of it. What exactly does “I never thought you’re so an arsewipe person.” even mean?
Yes Shannon, I believe you are right on the money! Haha
Oh, is that a threat? I do believe that is a threat.
i bet Shannon is also xiaxue. so?? so what if she has 70k followers? pornsites have more followers and that doesnt mean its really COOL. Sarah, youre so pathetic for being one of those 70k bottomfeeders.
By what you just said [It’s not protected under the first ammendenment if it’s besmerching someones character], then that means every single one of the comments here that have made digs at my looks, ability to read and write or my supposed lack thereof, and anything else that could be considered incorrect and “slander” isn’t any more protected than the article I wrote, any of the other articles written by others on this site, or anything else that XiaXue has taken the time to compose on her own personal blog. Not only do I doubt that all of that is NOT protected under Freedom of Speech, I am well aware that there will always be someone that has something to say… even if it’s “posting this crap”. I may not always agree with it, but they have a right to it just as you or I do.
There’s a difference between stating your opinion and hating on somebody because of plastic surgery. I have no desire to see anything else you’ve written or what else is on this site.
I wasn’t aware that there was an acceptable level of “opinion” covered by freedom of speech.
I don’t “hate on somebody because of plastic surgery”. I make commentary, and that commentary was based off of the implications XiaXue appeared to make in her blog post, nothing more. I am sorry to hear that despite whatever disagreements that may have risen from this lively discussion have caused you to not give other authors with differing outlooks and opinions on many different subjects a chance, but that is your choice.
If you were to write some black man was an n word, it wouldn’t be considered freedom of speech, it would be hate words. Do not bring freedom of speech into this, when all your doing is spewing hate.
What defines hateful speech on the internet? I’ll give you a clue.
Hateful speech is NOT disagreeing with someone (which Sharon is doing).
Hateful speech is NOT pointing out the flaws in someone’s argument (again, which is what Sharon is doing).
Just because you DON’T LIKE Sharon’s commentary on Xiaxue’s OPINIONS about plastic surgery does NOT mean this is “hating on” someone. If ANYONE is hating on ANYONE, it’s Xiaxue hating on everyone else. What’s Xiaxue’s main defense? “I’m prettier and more successful than you.” Now THAT’S a bit more personal. Why?
1.) Beauty is subjective. I may think Xiaxue is prettier than Sharon, but someone else may think Sharon is prettier than Xiaxue.
2.) Define “success”. If your ultimate goal in life is to be famous for being a bitch to others on the internet and posting pictures of yourself, then sure, you’re “successful”. If your ultimate goal in life actually requires more brain power than memorising commands in Photoshop and trying beauty products, then obviously that’s not success. It’s all about GASP, personal perspective.
So, Sharon is not “hating on Xiaxue herself”. She IS disagreeing with her opinion, and she has the right to do that. She’s not threatening Xiaxue, and Xiaxue posted it on the internet for ALL to see, so guess what? It gets to be commented on.
People who are a lot more important who have lives a lot more significant than Xiaxue’s get commented on constantly, and they’re not insecure enough to need to say dumb things like, “I’M PRETTIER THAN YOU BEFORE SURGERY AND MORE SUCCESSFUL EVEN THOUGH I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE LOL”. Even if Xiaxue went the ultimate low to research Sharon just to make fun of her to make herself feel better? That means Sharon wins, because Sharon doesn’t need to stoop that low.
Hey, guess what? The First Amendment applies to Americans. The internet is not only for Americans, nor is it run by Americans.
Secondly, Xiaxue could’ve made her point about how it should be socially acceptable to get plastic surgery WITHOUT being a self-righteous, egotistical bitch.
there you go! she needs plastic surgery too so she supports the queen of fakeness. go go go ugly! hahaha y0ou know whats crap? that face of yours. and thats why you need to go under the knife
“The last time I checked, life isn’t, never was and never will be what a vast majority of humanity considers to be “fair.”
Yeah, i would guess your lifei s very bitter. All the anger and all the I CAN’T TAKE XIAXUE’S BULLSHIT, all the WTFs and then you still have to go through so much just to read her blog and even catch up with all the various topics she shares with her readers.
PLASTIC OR NOT, TOO VAIN OR NOT, she’s HAPPY.
And who are you? Someone really pissed with life, good luck on searching for your real diamonds.
And if you sincerely do care so much about inner beauty (as if that’s the whole point of your entry) YOU WOULDN’T BE SO PISSED WITH SOMEONE THAT IS DOING NOTHING ELSE BUT TO LEAD HER LIFE HAPPY.
No, my life is not very bitter. I am also not “someone really pissed with life”. I didn’t know that I had to be a pessimistic, angry individual in order to state an opinion, but perhaps that is what works best for others.
Yes, it is apparent that XiaXue is very happy… outside of the times some nobody on the internet disagrees with her. But that aside, I was not saying she’s not a happy person.
“And if you sincerely do care so much about inner beauty (as if that’s the whole point of your entry) YOU WOULDN’T BE SO PISSED WITH SOMEONE THAT IS DOING NOTHING ELSE BUT TO LEAD HER LIFE HAPPY” – Taking what you said into consideration, if someone sincerely was so secure and full with self-confidence, then they wouldn’t be so pissed with someone that is doing nothing else but saying what’s on her mind.
hahaha spot on Sharon..welcome to the world of xx and her raging rabid army of fans
Amen to that. Can you say bitter?
LOL Sharon is anything BUT bitter. Pissed off at the world for being this asinine about plastic surgery? Maybe. Bitter? No.
Xiaxue’s points about people NOT being ashamed of getting plastic surgery? I will admit, they ARE good ones. It IS their money and it IS their body, and we don’t have the right to comment on their personal choices. But when Xiaxue backs that shit up with her arrogance and flaunting her opinion as holier-than-thou and then makes posts making fun of others or tearing others down?
This is where Sharon comes in. The points Xiaxue made were good… then glittered with her egotistical bullshit. That egotistical bullshit is what Xiaxue got called on, and she deserved it.
this article is not even near bitter. if the writer was bitter of xiaxue then the writer would have used “unlike me”, “if i were her”, “if it was me”, and “my ___ is better than hers anyway” the author of the article is just merely stating an opinion about xiaxue’s justification on getting plastic surgery. it is actually xiaxue who’s getting bitter over the fact that someone “defied” her “opinions” and now she’s pining “who are you to judge me” when in fact she spread herself on the internet to be seen and read by others.
[Amen to that. Can you say bitter?]
Who’s besmerching whom now, Sarah? I believe that you think that’s a justifiable reason for a court order, and if I’m not mistaken, by your own words, you should be dealt with by Sharon in the same manner that Xiaxue ‘dealt with’ Peter Coffin. I didn’t think that things like legal issues and personal considerations of the first amendment right were able to be a hypocritical standard like that. Somehow that doesn’t really make a lot of logical, non-hypocritical sense, now does it.
The standard and catch phrase of “Do as I say, not as I do” isn’t supporting your stance that what’s going on here is anything other than Xiaxue developing a deepening sense of butthurt-syndrome over an internet-stated opinion. If you’re going to fold back on your own words, then how much of your reader-opinion of Xiaxue can we really trust? Or are you too upset, angry, and irrational about all this to really be truthful about your own thoughts and feelings?
Happiness now forgives everything? So, if I decide to steal something from someone, it’s okay because I’m happy? Or did I go too far?
Someone says something I don’t agree with. I comment on it instead of biting my tongue. Suddenly I’m a bitch because I said something you didn’t like and I should have left it alone because you’re “happy”?
What a dumb excuse.
It’s also dumb as hell to assume that because Sharon disagrees with Xiaxue’s point of view (as well as her asinine commentary) that she’s bitter and unhappy. So, whenever Xiaxue goes on a rant about someone else or something, then she’s a bitter person too? What, is she now bi-polar since every other post is, “OMG I DID THIS AND IT MAKES ME AWESOME” followed by “THIS THING PISSED ME OFF GRR”?
Sharon writes ONE POST criticising Xiaxue and suddenly you act like you have an actual window into Sharon’s life or her perspectives. Try again.
Let me say a few words of what i am thinking here. I dont side with anybody here, neither Sharon nor Xiaxue.
To Sharon,
First Xiaxue has money and she can do whatever she wants with the money, include plastic surgery. You also can, if you want. Whether after the surgery she become beautiful or not, its not up to you to judge. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And beauty is relative. Some people said she is pretty, Some people said she is not. But the important thing is that she is become confident after the surgery, good for her. But it is very impolite to comment on people appearance, especially it is written in black and white. Except you are prettier than her, show us your picture!! You know you will hurt the person, especially girls, generally girls always mind their appearance?? If you dont like her appearance, her personality, its easier, just dont read her blog or follow her twitter. Anyway its her blog, its up to her what she want to write.
Second, dont you know Xiaxue is the famous Singapore blogger? By provoking her with writing about her, you actually want to get famous too.Isnt that so? For her personality which is sometimes her words are harsh, thats the one that make her famous and make people follow her blog.
To Xiaxue,
I think you did nothing wrong by defending yourself when people talk about your appearance. Frankly speaking, I actually not really follow your blog or twitter, because I think the content its so so. ps. i am following cheesie blog. And I wondering how you can become a famous blogger? And at first i dont intend to defend you here. I just want to say a fair word as an outsider. But really at the end I defend you as i think u did nothing wrong, And I cant find any reason to defend Sharon. and i guess its your personality that makes u famous, keep it up!
so you’re asking sharon to show a photo of her for what? for xiaxue to deform it and defame sharon on a hate site created by xiaxue? you’re blinded. as xiaxue herself said on her blog and videos we don’t need to explain ourselves to her, and now she’s defying her own advice?
“user” xiaxue didn’t do anything wrong by defending herself, but threatening and showing a crappy attitude is totally wrong. your “role model” should know that.
Marie, i never said Xiaxue is my role model. See, you misinterpreted. I even didnt follow her blog. But after i read her comments above, i totally agree with you. The way she defend herself is too much. Pardon me if i never read the xiaxue comments above before i wrote my comments.
Well, by showing sharon picture will make everything clear. We wont know how sharon look like and because of that xiaxue think that she is prettier than her. well who knows? might be sharon is naturally beautiful.
my apologies, i guess i should have restated my comment in general. i didn’t mean to sound too personal on you.
i don’t know if sharon is naturally beautiful or what, i think what we should consider here is the opinion expressed because the post wasn’t at all a personal attack on xiaxue, it’s just like watching a politician on television and having your say on the matter, it’s almost personal but it isn’t really, it’s just that something triggered your imagination on something.
xiaxue would express on her blog and video to “never apologize” and i believe that since sharon only expressed an opinion based on what xiaxue wrote, sharon don’t have to prove herself to xiaxue or to anyone of us here.
Where did Sharon say she was prettier than Xiaxue? Since when is this about Xiaxue being prettier than Sharon and vice versa? It’s not.
The point isn’t what Sharon looks like. It’s not what Xiaxue looks like either. It’s about Xiaxue’s “sense of humour” going too far and her statements going too far. It has NOTHING to do with how either of them look.
from xiaxue statement that even without plastic surgery i was probably better looking than u, something like that. so am i correct in my statement that xiaxue think she is prettier than sharon.
Xiaxue thinkS she is prettier than everyone, except those she selectively chooses to be “jealous” of, such as Hooters’ waitresses in America or famous celebrities. Everyone else obviously can’t be, because they’re NOT as famous and “brilliant” as her! *eyeroll*
[But it is very impolite to comment on people appearance, especially it is written in black and white.]
[By provoking her with writing about her, you actually want to get famous too.Isnt that so? For her personality which is sometimes her words are harsh, thats the one that make her famous and make people follow her blog.]
It’s wrong of Sharon to do so, but it’s acceptable for Xiaxue to mouth off because it is what made her popular to begin with? This doesn’t make sense at all, user.
To look at it, Sharon is only doing what Xiaxue herself has done for post after post of what’s made her ‘famous’. She’s stating an opinion about someone over the internet and the service she’s performing, that would be her opinions. While this is arguable about what’s considered good or bad within that service, it’s still a service, and because people want to read what she has to say they subscribe. Basic business 101, if they got nothing out of it, then they’d stop reading. What they get out of it will depend on every reader, as Ahjefz has pointed out. However, when we look at things in business terms, we begin to see the moral dilemma that Xiaxue has developed without even checking herself at the posting button.
If she were making a television show, for example, she’d have to find a much more politically correct way to discuss ‘those bitches’ who don’t get plastic surgery. She wouldn’t be able to fling her opinions around using badly written jokes as a cover for a horrible attitude and a pride over the suffering she’s brought upon herself by cutting up her face and carving away at her body until she’s found something to be proud of. If this were a television show, she’d end up forming it a lot like the other reality shows that discuss the suffering and hardships of ‘going under the knife’ and in the end it would have a somewhat positive message, however, once the healing process is done, the interesting aspects are over, and the tv show changes or is cancelled. Because this is the internet, she’s found a way to actually make her blog more interesting, products, fashion, and bitching about those who aren’t in her boat.
I’ve never been a fashion model, I don’t know what it’s like for poor Xiaxue who likely faces down this kind of stuff every day, as she’s a full time fashion blogger, and there will never be a time when every person on the net agrees wit one’s posted opinions. However, the possible hardships, the status that she’s obtained through all her ‘hard work’ of healing and trying new things, and opening new expensive vials of makeup to get her to the point she is in now does not give her the right to use language and her own past experiences as a reason to look down on other people. If she ‘doesn’t mean’ it or not, calling natural beauties lazy bitches is a sign of jealousy and bitterness at her own place in life. Xiaxue might not be feeling these things according to her blog, but if you were famous in your country for what you wrote, you’re not going to air your dirty laundry where everyone will see it either. You’d never admit such a thing and be honest about it until someone calls you out on it. You’ll never want anyone to know the bad, negative, horrible things that are not accepted by society. And having a negative attitude is quite embraced by our modern day habits. Dating the ‘bad boy’, skipping class, doing illegal activities, and being a bitchy person are all things idolized by individuals without a sense of self, without the confidence to do what they want with their life, and these people take every step they can to change their role, and instead of developing a deeper personality, these people will routinely make fun of those who are not along for the ride. Just look at teenagers in high school if you don’t believe me. In that same measure, Xiaxue’s posted words are petty, immature, and unreasonable. It could have been approached in a much more logical fashion, like Sharon’s article.
Now, I’m not saying that a person has to write in formalized english to post or host a blog on the internet, but what I am saying is that if Xiaxue wanted her point to be made properly, then she needs to make it much more clear, especially if she doesn’t want people taking her words literally, as you can’t make it a joke without an indication of a joke, of which there is none.
Yes, it’s her blog, but if she wants followers, and it’s clear that she is proud of them, and if she even generates a business profit off of marketing tools on said famous blog, then she really needs to wake up because people are going to take her words literally. Also, by organizing a service for the public in this manner, she’s taken on a public role, and as such has a responsibility to the public to consider the possibility that she’s wrong, both literally as a writer and morally as a person. An individual who does this has the ability to make a mark on the world, which she obviously wants to have, as she’s mentioned being remembered after she dies, and yet, she does nothing to HELP those who are reading her other than giving them bad jokes, product discussions, and fashion advice. Tons of people the world over already do this and get paid for it. How is she actually providing anything other than another source to damage the moralities and psyches over the world by condemning those who don’t follow her advice and worship her for her ‘work’?
[ If you dont like her appearance, her personality, its easier, just dont read her blog or follow her twitter. ]
If we follow the logic of ‘just don’t read her blog’ then in the same manner, neither one needed to read each other’s comments, nor did you have to read any of what was posted here at all. You did, Sharon did, and Xiaxue obviously did. Now I have. None of this needs to happen, but it did, and the point here is moot.
Also, I find it hard to understand that you’re ‘objective’, user, as you’re only standing up for Xiaxue and denying all of Sharon’s statements.
She’ll never “wake up”. From the Wiki entry on her (why the hell does someone so insignificant to the world at large actually have a Wikipedia entry?)
“In an entry dated 16 October 2005, she condemned a disabled man who scolded another man for using the toilet for the disabled, leading to an online backlash which prompted two of her then-sponsors to cancel their deals.[6] On 28 December 2005, she wrote that foreign workers should be banned from Orchard Road as they were repeatedly molesting Singaporean girls; hundreds of netizens condemned her posts as “racist rants” and signed an online petition to ban her from Orchard Road. On 30 June 2008, she made allegedly defamatory remarks about rival blogger Dawn Yang, who responded by threatening to sue her.
She has been involved in a few other incidents. On 20 July 2005, a hacker broke into her Blogger and Gmail accounts, defaced her blog and deleted all her e-mails, but she quickly regained access to her accounts.In January 2006, she was accused of impersonating another blogger and abusing her position as a Tomorrow.sg editor to remove comments critical of her.”
What a winner!
logic u r not logic at all!!! my statement is not said that sharon is prettier than xiaxue. i said MIGHT be!!! so it is not confirm!!! yeah i just want to ask u back. where???
Before you criticise my “lack” of logic, please correct your English. It should be, “Logic, you are not logicAL at all.”
But here is the kicker: it DOESN’T MATTER if Xiaxue MIGHT be prettier than Sharon. It DOESN’T MATTER if Sharon might be prettier than Xiaxue. That has NOTHING TO DO with Sharon’s post, and you should not even have brought it up.
Sharon’s post is about Xiaxue’s flawed argument. It has NOTHING TO DO with HOW Xiaxue looks, so before you say I’m being illogical, look to yourself. Oh, and please go back to ESL class.
Hey – now you’re just being racist.
Immigrants who speak broken English are actually very intelligent individuals in their home countries and to insinuate that someone needs to go back to ESL is pretty harsh.
…Also, anyone else notice that Xiaxue no longer cares about this anymore and the only one really arguing is the writer?
because xiaxue knows that she can’t win this one. otherwise she’d be blogging about it.
huh???
mmigrants who speak broken English are actually very intelligent individuals in their home countries and to insinuate that someone needs to go back to ESL is pretty harsh. — this is really the funniest, most stupid remark i have read in al ong time. have you heard of the thousands of foreign talents being recruited by Singapore from the PHilippines? they were hired because they dont have broken english. i gues that says a lot why they wont hire locals.
This page has probably been dead for awhile so there’s no point in posting this, but after entertaining myself by reading everyone’s opinions and comments, I have to say that you have crossed the line here.
I honestly don’t care what Shannon thinks of XX or what anyone else thinks of her for that matter, but to insult people because they can’t speak/write English proficiently has, I’m ashamed to say, infuriated me. Can you speak Japanese fluently? Can you speak Chinese fluently? Can you speak Korean fluently? My guess is-probably not. I can’t either. Does that imply that we’re stupid and incompetent? Does that make other Chinese/Japanese/Korean natives more intelligent than us?
I have many relatives that can only speak broken English and have terrible incomprehensible accents, and yet many of them work harder than I do and have accomplished more than I have. Okay, so learning and speaking a foreign language is their main priority, does that make them stupid?
So because “user” doesn’t have great English grammar, he isn’t allowed to have his own opinion and immediately he’s more inferior than you? Please get off your high horse. You sir (or ma’am) have proven to me how ignorant the Internet is. Don’t take offense to this, it wasn’t a personal attack, but you need to understand that knowing how to speak English doesn’t make you superior to anyone.
Whoops, pardon my error. I meant *isn’t
logic, i think u have a problem in interpretef other people words, no wonder u misinterpreted xiaxue statement in her blog. i think nothing wrong in xiaxue statement in her blog. the only thing is the way she defend herself is too much. but to face the people like u, i totally agree with xiaxue, to use the harsh words. cause how soft the words that i used might not making u understand!!! huh!! i am not gonna reply comments anymore! all have their mistakes but never gonna admit them!!!
I wouldn’t have a problem with interpreting other people’s words if they knew how to use the English language correctly.
Oh wait, I don’t have that problem. My bad. I suppose I was talking about you.
Logic, stop acting like an arrogant douchebag. It reduces your credibility and makes you sound stupid and angry even if you are really intelligent.
huh???? lolz
dont act stupid. its true. logic looks like an idiot.
I was a reader of xiaxue, her entries were thoughtful AT FIRST but they soon became increasingly arrogant and shallow and not as well thought as her older entries. furthermore, she getting more spiteful so much so, she just turned me off. phrases like “Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you.” – totally unnecessary. It just further illustrates her obsession with appearance. I mean if you have a point, you dont have to resort to this kind of retort. content will speak for itself.
I liked her so much better when she was more down-to-earth, though ‘uglier’. I mean get plastic surgery all you want. It makes you prettier why not. But stop thinking you are drop dead gorgeous and this doesn’t give you the right to start insulting people’s looks/belittling people. You could be pretty and less malicious that’ll be a good combi. (note: honesty doesnt equate to malice. I still would like your entries to be honest.)
Having said that, I dont exactly applaud sharon’s article, but i think its good that someone took her down from her almighty spot once in a while.
After scrolling through this whole post and reading through every single comment, I’m sure all of us can agree on one thing. This Logic person seems to be the only one spewing so much hate that you can see it from him/her defensive comments. Its such a joke really. Logic, what did xx do to piss u off so much?
Actually, it looks like Logic got pissed at June 27, 2011 at 9:03 pm when Xiaxue wrote the following statement
” Even without plastic surgery, I was probably better looking than you. So what now, I am supposed to hate myself?” and between things like that and things like calling Sharon illiterate and over all being quite rude about someone disagreeing with her, Logic seems to have found Xiaxue’s take on the whole process to be revolting enough to show them how far she was going and making excuses for it. While it’s hard to take, consider the fact that Xiaxue’s gotten in legal trouble in real life for doing worse things, by the dates described above in Logic’s reply to me, it’s very obvious that some of this is a real issue, and while she’s saying it in a very forceful manner, she’s yet to cross into what I’m calling ‘Xiaxue territory’, for the moment.
If you can’t see Xiaxue’s defensive commentary in the above posts that she left, then you’re not reading very well. Things like ‘I’m prettier and more successful than you’ll ever be’ when she has no idea whom she’s referring to, when it could be the president of a foreign nation for all the heck she knows? Or, even more so, telling someone to go jump off a tall building and meaning it because she was angry? If that isn’t defensive logic, then you really need to consider the reality that you’re looking through to view this post. Your opinion doesn’t sound very even keeled if you can’t consider those stronger statements than the ones that Logic’s made.
yea shes mad. you are bashing on her for no reason without even knowing the girl. youre a disgusting bully.
Really people? Who cares. Its a personal choice to get plastic surgery. If someone gets it because someone famous tells them to or makes them feel bad then that person needs to get their head checked. Xiaxue admits to everyone what she has had done and why. She doesn’t scold people or tell them they are ugly and need to get it. If anything she makes it so people who get plastic surgery feel ok to tell the world like she has. Its Xiaxue’s job to write a blog and the main reason she is so popular is because she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and tell it like it is. She is extremely honest and that is what makes her a good person. The fact that there is this huge argument is the dumbest thing. The way she is being treated is worse than the way Mel Gibson’s was treated for his racists rants. REALLY? Sorry that you are pissed that she believes in free speech. How about you use your time on something useful like ending world hunger or something actually meaningful to life than bashing someone for being honest and speaking their mind.

[How about you use your time on something useful like ending world hunger or something actually meaningful to life than bashing someone for being honest and speaking their mind.]
- i may not be able to end world hunger, but yes i do send out donations to various charities (food, clothes, school supplies, baby milk, etc.) i guess that answers your first lament. we also organize outreaches to remote places to extend help for everybody. and im sure there’ll be raised eyebrows on this statement of mine.
-bashing? nobody’s bashing her if you read the entry post and the opinions stated in the thread you will find that it’s xiaxue’s fault that she’s being hit hard, she’s too full of herself. or is she being hit hard because what we also say is the truth about what she says her “opinions”?
Xiaxue Wendy Cheng (Xiaxue)
I don’t mind if people disagree with me. What’s offensive is if you disagree with a condescending attitude. Which is too frequent.
8 hours ago
mind reading her response to me and to the others Angie-la? she’s eating her own words.
just not because i have time to respond here would mean that i have no life or whatsoever, i also have the right to use my time as i fit using it and this is to me an interesting argument to pass time. we all need variations in life right? :p
just leave it alone marie and get a life. stop bashing someone that you read one post about. did you even check out her blog or pages? you critisize her and say that shes giving the world a plastic image when she is just being honest about her choices in life.yea shes got bite, but thats her personaltiy. God forbid people be real to each other anymore
It’s pointless arguing with clowns like Xiaxue. She can flame and hate on people for the slightest reason but when people critisize her, she goes mad-hulk and incoherent. Double standard and she’s always going on about how she’s keeping it real, as real as her nose.
When she lost the arguement which is all the time, she will block/ delete/ pick on your grammer/ say she didn’t read because it’s too long or anything irrelevent her stupidity can come up with. If you say she is stupid, she will use the same tricks again, that is mentioning her PSLE results or MENSA. No one care about PSLE unless you are 12/13 years old or their parents or a clown like Xiaxue. By the way, how old is that clown? Using PSLE results from more than a decade ago?
As for MENSA, I have it and it is not hard to get it, people can even practise for it. I’m not saying everyone can get it, I’m just saying if you are smart, people will know, you don’t have to prove it.
All in all, Xiaxue is a clown with internet. It’s fun and easy to push her buttons but don’t take what she has to say to heart.
wouldnt you get mad if someone was trash talking you without knowing the slightest bit about you? she inspires women to be strong and she doesnt encourage plastic surgery. she tells you precautions and information about it if you are interested. get a life.
B-Ute-T-Full to Michael Jackson in 60 seconds…
Aloha From Sunny South Florida & Happy 4th to All!
p.s ‘Bruce Jenner’ nuff said.
“You gotta be starting something, you gotta be starting something…” For some people that something is plastic surgery.
While Xiaxue tries hard to please with herself that plastic beauties like her deserve a medal for “earning” unnatural beauty, her selfish ambition blinds her to the fact that her poor husband remains wary whenever he kisses her lest he dislodges her fake nose. That’s just one of the main advantages of being a natural beauty. We don’t make our husbands nervous!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this entire forum and am glad that Xiaxue has been exposed and shamed the same way she did Peter Coffin. What goes around must come around. Hope she hasn’t committed suicide like him!
But her blog is interesting though. I read it when I have nothing better to do to see how low she stoops to gain popularity.
lol @ you’re definition of owned. is that you xx?
is that all??? c’mon. give us more!
I’ve never seen such an awful review on a person that’s not even a celebrity. Stop being mad. Do you even pay attention to all of the content she posts? If you did, you would have realized how stupid it is to make this type of post. She’s obviously very sarcastic. Are you supposed to know that from reading her words? Maybe not, but you probably need more experience on the internet, being a blogger and all, if you can’t tell when someone is using sarcasm. For Christ’s sake, she even talks like this in her Youtube videos and you know she’s not being serious. She did not encourage NOR discourage anyone from getting plastic surgery. She has two videos that talks about her whole surgery ideas and procedures.
You even said that you don’t even really pay attention to her blog, so you made a shitty assumption about her, got a gang of bandwagoners to read your bullshit about her so they can get a preconceived idea about her, and this all ended up making her look like a terrible excuse for a human.
/applaud.
“I’ve never seen such an awful review on a person that’s not even a celebrity.”
But Xiaxue says
June 28, 2011, 12.58 am
“I was famous way before I got any work done. As for being an actual human being worthy of remembering… That’s right… People will remember me after I die. As a pioneer blogger in Singapore and the most popular one in Asia Pacific. You? Not so much. Sad.”
Sarcastic of herself?
cati, leave this alone hun. u sound extremely unintelligent.
I don’t have a single surgical procedure done to my face because I am blessed and happy with my natural good looks, yet I dare NOT claim to be BETTER looking than you or anyone else. I believe that makes me more intelligent than Xiaxue or you who is obviously her ardent blind fan!
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. You critisize how Xiaxue is shallow and cares how her and other people look, but you are doing worse. She really is dedicating a big part of her life for women to beautify themselves on the outside and feel better about themselves. Shes not encouraging plastic surgery and you people are the reason people go under the knife. You immediately call her tons of names because she is a strong woman who is not ashamed to speak the truth. Shes not preaching plastic surgery. She is informing those who were already interested. You are the people who should be disgusted with yourself. You say her eyes are too big, her skin is too pale, her nose is too small. But if she were born that way rather than going under the knife you wouldnt be critisizing her right now; and if you did youd still be contradicting yourself by not accepting that as her natural beauty. Stop slandering Xiaxue because you are bored with your own life. If its your opinion feel free to blog or shout it to the hilltops, but dont you judge a woman who has done nothing to you. If you dont approve dont read. Simple as that. Dont make drama for no reason. It’s ridiculous that she has to be judged because she now looks how she wants. Dont act like you have never wanted to change something. She has the money and the balls. Shes not fucking critisizing pretty people shes jokingly saying that she envies that they were born with looks that she would love to have had at birth. She is a very real person even if you do believe she is just fake on the outside. She hasnt even had major correction – eyes surgery (common in asia and other foreign countries) nose jobs (what celeb hasnt done that) and ur pissed because shes asian and has blonde hair; Get the fuck over it. It’s not your life so get the fuck over it. She is beautiful before and after the surgeries (and dye) if she had black hair you wouldnt even care that is what pisses me off.
Hey, looks like this post is still getting comments months after it’s been published! I’m pretty impressed; I haven’t been back to this post since a couple of days after I wrote it, and I’m glad to see the debate seems to still be going strong.
I really shouldn’t be replying to this, as it’s what one would definitely call “adding fuel to the fire”, but I’ll take the risk for the time being.
You did say if it is “your opinion feel free to blog or shout it to the hilltops”… uh… isn’t that what was done? I could understand your anger much more if this entire piece was posted in her blog comments, as that’s the equivalent of coming into someone else’s house and telling them you hate the decor. Since it was not, I am inclined to believe that all of the people who made the extra effort to continue visiting this post and making comments seem to be just as “bored” with their lives instead of simply declining to comment. It’s as you said; don’t approve, don’t read it, correct? Simple as that.
Also, any celebrity in the limelight has to deal with people who won’t agree with them or what they do. It comes with the territory. Just like XiaXue isn’t afraid to speak the truth, neither is anyone else.
I wonder what happened to her threat to take action if this post wasn’t taken down.
Anyway, I liked your piece and I loved reading the comments section. Kudos to those who rebutted hers and her followers’ “arguments”. She and her posse need to be shown that they can’t bully everyone into submission. I take offence at Danielle’s statement. I do not find encouraging bullying in anyway empowering women.
Well, as much as XiaXue was offended by the article, I think she may have realized that she had no legal grounds to hold such a threat, so it must have been dropped. Can you imagine if it really were possible to sue anyone for anything anyone has said on the internet? Good lord, that would be a disaster waiting to happen.
In regards to Danielle’s statement… mayhap she agrees with Sue Sylvester’s (from the TV show Glee)train of thought? That character certainly believes that a bit of terror instilled in the hearts of young women is a good thing.
I would like to draw all readers to an interview given of Xiaxue by Yahoo! recently.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/meet-singapore-most-popular-blogger-025716125.html
Read the comments and see for yourself how much she is hated by Singaporeans.
She did not win and did not even clinch second spot. 2 other Singaporean bloggers beat her to it. She cannot even win a simple competition in her own country but boasts that she will always be remembered as the most famous blogger in Asia !
Her fans are ignorant ones like Danielle who keep barking up the wrong tree.
It’s a pity I found this so late. I’m rather amused by all of it, most certainly the fact that XX simply gave up when the conversation began to head in a direction that was not in her favor. Rather than engage in a meaningful and intellectual discussion of opinions, she simply thrashed around like a child throwing a tantrum.
It rather makes me think of my three-year-old nephew covering his ears and screaming loudly, “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA,” when we tell him he cannot have or do something. It’s humorously puerile for someone who is approaching 30.
Anyways, I want to applaud you, Sharon, for being so genuinely thoughtful and most of all MATURE in regards to the commentary. As much as I have come to dislike XX for her distasteful blog posts and vapid, vacuous persona, I have an equal distaste for infantile retorts towards her (i.e. “stupid wannabe white bitch” as well as other equally vulgar phrases). IMO those that try to slap that in her face are equally as insipid and demeaning as her. The point is to prove oneself of better character, not stoop to her level.
So congratulations on standing your ground.
Whether further posts or comments have to do with her, it doesn’t matter. Your superb writing has gained a new follower.

Same goes to Xiaxue’s husband. That poor loser will be remembered as the ex-husband of a hated BITCH !
Dear Xiaxue,
I admire you. Really I do. I admire your energy to bicker and endlessly insist that you are famous.
Famous and notorious are 2 different things.
Famous is well-loved. You aint that, girl. You are like… Britney. Only cheaper.
See, no matter how much you try to improve your looks, if your attitude is so shit, you’re still “ugly”. Don’t like the word? Guess you have to live with it. ‘Coz it’s you.
What – Have you got nothing to say anymore? Cat got your tongue? This is so unlike you. C’mon, hit us back. Be the FAMOUS XIAXUE that we all luuurrvvveeeee. Chicken?
Chicken.
xiaxue must be very sad in her life. dats why everything she has also not happy. must buy. must change. must improve.
always must pretend. be fake.
u all better don kacau her anymore
very sad girl… kesian her.
The most famous and well-liked blogger in Singapore is mrbrown.com … NOT xiaxue.
Singapore’s other famous and hottest blogger is Dawn Yang … NOT xiaxue.
Contrary to her self exaltation, almost everyone I know in Singapore have nothing good to say about xiaxue. The very mention of her name seems to disgust and turn many people off. The most common spontaneous responses are “Oh that bitch” or “that crazy blogger” or “attention seeking whore” .. That’s the way Xiaxue is mostly remembered, not as “a pioneer blogger in Singapore and the most popular one in Asia Pacific” as she claims. No one is going to remember how many medals or awards she wins but what kind of life she lived and influence she projected. No amount of medals in her home showcase is going to make up for her bad reputation outside her home. Even after her several publicity stunts that included bragging about her plastic surgeries and even lesbianism, her blog traffic has dropped from 50,000 to 40,000 and now 35,000.. Need I say more? After a while, people do grow up and lose interest in incessant trashy talk and bitching that only promotes hatred and disgust…
Plastic surgery is for those people who has deformities physically. I wouldn’t advice it as beauty enhancement.

You may find that a particular surgeon will be loyal to one particular brand, which is largely a matter of choice, similar to how any skilled person will choose his or her tools based on preference. In some cases, a physician may receive lower pricing from one company over another while in other cases, he or she may simply be more skilled at working with one type of products over another, and may choose to use a particular brand’s product for this reason.

Hello there, I discovered your website via Google whilst looking for a comparable subject, your site got here up, it seems great. I’ve bookmarked to my favourites|added to bookmarks.
You can’t really blame xiaxue for her childish, defensive behavior. She suffers from shame and mental unstability due to her lack of height and good looks, and tries hard to reduce her own feelings of shame by constantly putting down and criticizing other people. If there’s a shrink that can sponsor her, please send her your recommendation.
All of you suck.
With Nosrils (without photoshop) that look like they’ve been screwed by a pervert and thick build-up of eyeliner and mascara to camouflage those hideous cross eyes, Xiaxue’s surgeons are totally out of my list of preferred plastic surgeons. Anyone who looks like a plastic Miss Piggy would have to do a much better job to psyche themselves up to make themselves feel better… Xiaxue has failed miserably and keeps embarrassing herself each time!
i think the reason that many people are going for plastic surgery these days is increase value of looks on our life. More better look we have more the chance that we can get good jobs, good partners etc and i also think that there is no problem if someone has gone or want to go for cosmetic surgery
