WTF is wrong with Amy Winehouse????

[Taverner]

WTF is up with that?

Does she just not give a shit anymore????

[Maestro]

1. Meth is a horrible drug.

Actually, if this is not photoshopped in any way, someone needs to intervene and help her. She will not be long for this world.

[Taverner]

3. Candids from the Paparazzi

I worry for this too

So much talent, so little self respect

[BarenakedLady]

2. Impetigo?

I dunno. I think the addiction is stronger than her at this point.

:(

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Yes, I read that last week, Impetigo

[Taverner]

5. But isn't that shit treated with 1 week of topical ointments?

I had it when I was a wee 'un. Didn't last more than a week.

I heard she had Impetigo months ago...

[BarenakedLady]

6. Could be the spin

her PR people are trying for.

Looks more like meth.

:shrug:

[youthere]

9. Here's a shot of impetigo:

AH's look more like meth to me too.

[jobycom]

22. I almost died from it as a kid.

I had huge sores on my face, and the infection spread through me, and caused kidney damage. So I guess there are varying degrees. One sore on my head lasted a month or so.

No idea if that's really her problem or not, just sayin'.

[Taverner]

23. I did not know that

wow...and I thought it was just a waterborne skin infection...had it when I was 10

[jobycom]

26. Now you made me do a bit of research.

Ecthyma
Ecthyma is a more serious form of impetigo in which the infection penetrates deeper into the skin's second layer (dermis). Signs and symptoms include:

Painful fluid- or pus-filled sores that turn into deep ulcers, usually on the legs and feet
A hard, thick, gray-yellow crust covering the sores
Swollen lymph glands in the affected area
Scars that remain after the ulcers heal

Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN). This kidney inflammation may develop after a streptococcal infection such as strep throat or impetigo. It occurs when antibodies formed as a result of the infection damage the small structures (glomeruli) that filter waste in your kidneys. Although most people recover without any lasting damage, PSGN may lead to kidney failure. Signs and symptoms of PSGN commonly appear about two weeks after an infection. They include facial swelling — especially around the eyes — decreased urination, blood in the urine, high blood pressure and stiff or painful joints. Most often, PSGN affects children between the ages of 6 and 10 years. Adults who develop PSGN tend to have more serious symptoms than children do and are less likely to make a full recovery. Although antibiotics can cure strep infections, they don't prevent PSGN

7. What a shame.

[siligut]

8. Meth is about the meanest drug out there

What is even worse, the ease of clandestine synthesis makes it possible for half-assed manufacturers to make big money and they are putting contaminated meth on the streets. Ever been around a methamphetamine addict? They stink from all the waste their bodies are trying to rid them of.

I have Back to Black and the song Rehab., has made it hard to listen to, decadence is fun in small doses, but she is burning away her life.

[Greyskye]

10. Didn't she put a ciggy out in her cheek recently?

As some sort of bizarre protest after being repeatedly asked to put it out at a restaurant/club?

[Taverner]

16. No that was her palm

Still spooky though

[Greyskye]

19. now you made me look it up

Amy Winehouse stubs out cigarette on own cheek!

London, Mar 05 : English singer songwriter Amy Winehouse has been sporting an ugly mark on her face for the past few days, the mark was caused when the star stubbed out her cigarette on her own cheek.

The incident had taken place in a London restaurant in front of horrified diners.

Amy had sat down with some friends at the restaurant, and was smoking when she was asked three times by the staff to put out her Marlboro Light because of the smoking ban.

When receiving the final warning, Amy stared directly into the waitress's eyes and pushed the burning tip of the fag into her own face.

"She hardly flinched because she was so high. The whole place was open-mouthed in horror," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

[Taverner]

21. Wow! ouch...

Well that accounts for the cheek burn

[mitchum]

29. A Marlboro LIGHT? Well, she's just a poseur...

everyone knows that truly talented Limey drug addicts smoke real Marlboros.

[Elidor]

33. Damn!

That's fucked up, esse.

[graywarrior]

11. As a recovering drunk, I try to not make judgements about other possible addicts

Besides, she went into rehab for treatment and we have no idea whether or not that picture is real.

[siligut]

20. I heard she went into rehab too.

I rather adore her; I hope to dog I don’t judge an addict, that is insult to injury. I have seen other photos and she is just a toothpick. I think concern, genuine concern and pain is what I feel for her.

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. The hard drugs take us, we don't take them.

[DemocratInSoCal]

13. Morrison, Hendrix, Elvis, Cobain, Belushi, Anna Nicole....Good Company Indeed

It shouldn't come as much surprise, when someday in the not too distant future, she's discovered dead or unconscious.

You can't help someone who doesn't give a shit about helping themselves.

edited to add "The King."

[JVS]

25. Anna Nicole is not good company.

[Taverner]

28. Kurt Cobain's mom called it "that stupid club"

I think she might have been onto something

[bbernardini]

14. I just don't understand the reason for/appeal of the extra black markings on each eye. nt

[Missy Vixen]

18. She's trying to make the cat eye with her eyeliner

In the meantime, I hope she gets to a place where being clean is better than not being clean for her.

30. It's a failed attempt to draw attention away from her ungodly long nose and jaw

[DarkTirade]

15. Mmm'kay kids, drugs are bad, mmm'kay?

[applegrove]

17. Don't people pick their skin, noses etc. and eat it to get the last vestages of

the drug they are on? That is what I heard.

[siligut]

34. I haven’t heard that they eat it! ew

Meth is a super stimulant and along with the high and invincibility thing, people have itchy or nervous feelings. They pick at their faces mostly, don’t really know why. Maybe because they have such crumby nutrition that their faces break out then they pick and don’t heal well, again due to the damn meth.

[JVS]

24. They tried to make her go to rehab. She said "no, no, no"

[nomorenomore08]

27. Now that is just nasty... Looks like another candidate for the 27 club...

[LynneSin]

31. She is the poster child for why, perhaps, Rehab isn't that bad of a thing

:shrug:

[no name no slogan]

32. She has a disease called addiction

It's not that she doesn't care. It's that she CANNOT care. Addicts are incapable of caring about themselves. All they care about is the next fix: be it a drink, a hit, or even a win at gambling.
