Jordan James Parke is a 23-year-old British-born man who lives in Los Angeles and calls himself a professional makeup artist. He’s also one of Kim Kardashian’s biggest fans ever, so big that he’s already spent a fortune to look like the curvaceous reality star.

If you think that his pout is exaggerated or not at all natura-looking, don’t worry: he knows it. In fact, he says, that’s exactly the look he was going for.

Included in the gallery below are several shots of Parke after he spent $150,000 (€122,236) to get a “Kim Kardashian look.” Kim Kardashian would probably not be flattered by whatever is going on there.

Jordan is obsessed with Kim

“I love everything about Kim,” Jordan says in an interview cited by the Daily Mail. “She’s the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair, everything about her.”

Because she’s that gorgeous, he tried to model himself after her look – which, if we’re to be honest, is said to be the result of many surgical interventions, be they invasive or not. Word online has it that Kim has had her entire face reshaped through surgery and that she gets fillers and Botox on the regular. She denies it.

Even so, Jordan got more than a fair share of all, about $150,000 (€122,236) worth of stuff done to his face, including fillers, Botox, laser hair removal, and eyebrow tattoos. It might seem ludicrous to think that anyone would want to have their eyebrows done this way, even temporarily in eyeliner, but Jordan wanted this shape for life, or at least for as much time as he could get the money for laser removal.

Going for the fake look

At the same time, he is aware of how people react when they see him on the street. Not that he’d care that much, because he is famous and has designer stuff that the people who make fun of him will never be able to afford so, the way he sees it, he still comes out winning.

And just in case you don’t know how much designer stuff he has, he makes sure to post countless photos on Instagram of his fur coats, leather bags, and fancy outfits. Apparently, Jordan’s biggest dilemma in recent days was to choose from two Hermes Birkin and a Louis Vuitton bag.

“I laugh when people try to insult me by telling me I look plastic or fake,” Jordan says. “Do they think I’m going for the natural look? If I was, I’d ask for my money back.”

The old debate on how much plastic surgery is too much

Body alterations as drastic as Jordan’s aren’t uncommon these days. If anything, there’s an entire industry built around the stories of these people, men and women, whose only goal in life is to be as disproportionate and physically altered as possible. They’re not sick, they say, they just want to be different because their body is their “canvas” and plastic surgery is the brush they use to paint it however they want.

They get TV deals for reality shows and score big paychecks from magazine interviews and public appearances, and they “inspire” others to do the same.

So this reopens the old debate: shouldn’t plastic surgeons be more responsible in terms of choosing the patients they operate on? Should they not be held accountable when they turn a human being into a wax figure who can’t move a muscle anymore, not to mention lead a “normal” life?

Because, make no mistake about it, with a transformation of this kind, medical complications are just around the corner. Remember that this man is only 23. By the time the inevitable signs of old age appear, he will have spent a fortune on maintenance work, which will probably make matters worse.
