Filed under: Jocelyn Wildenstein
Manhattan socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein has undergone millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery to transform her once normal human face into the face of a cat. She creates such a shocking spectacle whenever she goes out in public
that I decided she needs to start placing posters about town announcing
her upcoming appearances. The New York press dubbed her "The Bride of Wildenstein" and recently, the National Enquirer delicately referred to her as a "rubber faced freak". She scares the hell out of people, but she’s just a harmless, eccentric and delusional lady with too much money who parades around Manhattan with that shocking mug of hers and cares not what anyone thinks.
But does she look like a cat? Take this handy quiz and see if you can tell the difference between Jocelyn Wildenstein and a common feline. Don’t worry, the quiz is so easy that even Jessica Simpson can pass it.

Hey it’s funny, they were just talking about this woman over at fark.com, on a post about the FREAKY KEN DOLL MAN AAAUUUUGH: http://et.tv.yahoo.com/celebrities/etsid2910170012291/ - They’re thinking maybe Jocelyn might just be a friend of his! Yeah. Anyhoo. This is a great post you’ve done!

She’s a fucking freak to be sure! But she sorta got a whole Bette Midler look to her going on. Do you see her being comparable to Ms. Devine? I didn’t till I saw your artwork. Hmmm… Now I’m going to be picturing this crazy broad every time Bette comes on the tv or radio. Argh!

You know, I really want to thank you for this. Not to get sappy or anything, but sometimes I think we tend to forget that people are . . . well, they’re human. You said it perfectly: “she’s just a harmless, eccentric and delusional lady with too much money who parades around Manhattan with that shocking mug of hers and cares not what anyone thinks” - that’s beautiful and refreshing, it really is.

Holy crap. Your poster is worthy of Cheret during Toulouse’s time. Way more alluring than the real thing. I keep feeling like I want to take a pin and deflate her face.
Please. Just let me close enough to deflate her face. It’s like bubble wrap.

Oh my God that is SOO freaky! I don’t go into the city that much but when I do I’ll look out for this woman from now on. God what is wrong with her?! How could she do something like that to her face? It looks absolutely awful! Did she dye her skin darker? Because in the last photo it looks like she did something like that.
Whenever I do go into the city it’s usually around Christmas with my visiting family from the Republic (by Republic I mean the 26 counties of Ireland) and my god I would love to see thier reaction to this lady, I’ll have to keep the movie camera handy for the occasion.
By the way, I agree with what “bee” said, it was kind of you to say that this woman is harmless, she’s just not to tighty wound.

You were rather kind to her in your drawing. She does seem a bit Bette Midler-ish as a previous poster pointed out.
The last picture of her in your cat quiz reminds me of Eric Stolz in Mask. I wonder if she hangs out with Cher. It won’t be long before Cher is looking that way too.

She needs to get with the Catman on Ripley’s believe it or not from
Seattle. He has his own website, I wonder if two people seeking the same sort of attention will get along or not be able to stand one another. At least they have the plastic surgeon formed cat face in common.

Seriously I could see her in a stage production of the Lion King II. Simba goes to the city gets a sex change, Jocelyn of course plays the post-op Simba or Simberena. Ends up ruling Lower Manhatten. End scene her crouching a top the met roaring at the crowds. (Nice to see her wearing her most recent Zebra kill).

She’s already a caricature of herself, so no artist could make her look worse than she does already. Not even Picasso on his worst day.

However, if anyone has seen Lil’ Kim’s print ads for her watch line, she looks just like JW - so airbrushed, she actually looks bloody awful!

I’ve seen pictures of this woman. You were WAAAAYYYYY too kind to her. She kinda looks like Anna Nicole before the big weight loss.
All I can do is pitty this woman. She used to be attractive, but lost her mind when her man left her. Then she found some cheap crazy plastic surgeon to hack up her face. And look like a cat, she does not. She looks more like the she-mate to Ron Pearlman’s Beast character.

I just have to say, I absolutely love the way you did the dog in the picture. You made the dog look beautiful; perfect and natural but with a slightly ironic/quizzical look on its face. A complete contrast to his or her couchmate.

The real story, and the tragedy here is that after all that pain and wasted money, the woman hasn’t gotten what she wanted. She doesn’t look like a cat, seeing her features doesn’t bring to mind the beautiful cat, and her own originally-acceptable features are horribly scarred and misshappen. This really is sad, folks.

Aww I love Jocelyn! But, as startling as she may look, I think that it should be realised that, with most people with surgery, there is often a sad story behind them and that we should think before we stand and stare at them. I just find it a shame that she opted for surgery on her once pretty face. As much of a trusted family friend her surgeon was, he should be struck off for malpractice, and that I emphasise the importance of councilling before surgery! I don’t think that Jocelyn got the help she wanted and that maybe, if she had, she would still be pretty today.
I love the poster by the way! Stunning.

This lady is just so very, very sad. I can’t even really get much fun out of bashing her like I can when I bash a goofball celebrity.
I agree with everyone who says her plastic surgeon should be tarred, feathered, and run outta town! What in the world was s/he thinking??? How could any doctor advocate this type of maiming? That’s what I call it….maiming. This woman no longer looks human.
Do we live in a sad world or what? Who in good conscience could do this do another human being? I feel so very sad for her.

I disagree with comments such as “we shouldn’t judge her personality on what she looks like” or “im sure shes a very normal person”. Her “personality” chose to do that to her face…if that’s what you can call it. Personally I’m surprised that anyone can be happy looking like that. I read on another website that she had developed ways of using her hands to express joy or anger, due to the loss of elementary expression in her face. If I was her, i would be ashamed to show my face in public and i would have all mirrors removed from my house. I thought Joan Rivers was bad…but compared to this thing she looks like Aphrodite.

Yeah, i used to laugh @ j.w. photos, but now i’ve read these comments i just feel so, so sad that this person could allow herself to be mutilated in this way. If she feels happy with the results, that’s wonderful (I hope she does!), but if all this work still has’nt brought her happiness and self acceptance, that’s the real tragedy. Also, i couldn’t find any actual interviews with j.w., so i don’t know what the real reason for the surgery is…so it seems all we can come up with is assumption and conjecture. Have a giggle @ her expense if you want, but remember she has feelings just like anyone else. I’m gonna make a wish for her happiness.

I think all the references to Bette M. is being a bit nasty. This woman has all the money in the world to do some good, but instead has had herself remade into a monstrous looking person. There should be a law against pollution of scenery. She should not be allowed to appear in public without wearing a veil of some kind to hide that ugliness…and possibly scaring small kids and causing others to have heart attacks.
Invasion of the aliens? Yes, just like most others with plastic surgery.

What’s worse is that the internet makes it possible for millions of people to criticize and ridicule this person.
