Why This Swedish Tourist Can't Live Without America's 'Secret Sauce' New

Why This Swedish Tourist Can't Live Without America's 'Secret Sauce'

A Swedish World Cup fan is falling head over heels for a hidden valley of American flavor.Stockholm-native Elsa Thora, 24, touched down in America for the first time in Indiana on June 8 — and quickly developed a new obsession with ranch dressing.“It was amazing. I’ve said to lots of people that I won’t be able to live without it now. I’m gonna either have to try to order some online or make some myself,” she said.When talking about ranch dressing, Elsa Thora says, “I’m gonna either have to try to order some online or make some myself.” Courtesy of Elsa Thora“I don’t think it exists in Sweden … I’ve never ever seen it in Sweden, I’ve never seen it in the UK.”Thora described the everything dressing as “crack” and has used it on French fries, burgers, and bacon wrapped tater tots.She’s also been charmed by American friendliness.“People just talk to you, like random people, they say ‘hi’ on the street. It’s been the same in San Francisco, so far, to be fair as well,” she told The Post. “That does not happen in Sweden at all … people are very anti-social there, you barely speak to your neighbor.”Thora said even small things which Americans take for granted seemed magical.“The school buses are really cool, the firetrucks, obviously the diners are really cool. It’s literally all like the movies, I feel like I’m in a movie right now,” she said, adding that school buses are not used in Sweden.Thora posing with a classic American car in Fairmount, Indiana, which is the home of movie icon James Dean. Courtesy of Elsa ThoraShe was also shocked to find that Amish people “are real,” according to an X post.“I saw some Amish people and a horse and carriage, that was kind of crazy,” she said.Thora spent a few days driving through Indiana before heading to San Francisco, and has her sights set on Dallas for Sweden’s June 25 match against Japan — then the New York City area for the England vs. Panama game on June 27, where she plans to stay through America’s 250th anniversary celebration on July 4The Swede was shocked to find that Amish people were not just an American myth. Rap/Elsa Thora“I’m really looking forward to the Fourth of July … I just love how patriotic you guys are as well,” she said.Thora said she would love to make this American dream permanent.“I’d love to move to the USA! But it’s so hard for Europeans to move,” she said.Thora is among the World Cup fanatics touring the US who have been going viral for their cultural and culinary excursions.Her food tour across the Heartland and to San Francisco has been one longlove affair with her new obsession — ranch dressing. Courtesy of Elsa ThoraGerman-born influencer Fiago, real name Finn Agostinelli, is touring Chicago and is mesmerized by tailgating.“I fell in love with the tailgating before sporting events! We don’t really have that culture in Europe,” he told The Post. “The atmosphere is beautiful. Everyone invites you to their truck, gives you food and drinks, we made so many new friends!”A touring Scotsman who goes by Shaun has had his stomach captured by America.“Every Scottish person in America needs to immediately try chicken fried steak, and you’ll realize we and the Americans are kindred spirits,” he wrote on X.That caught the attention of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who replied: “Haha chicken fried steak is as Americana as it gets!”

Joe Alwyn's Night Out Sparks Buzz: Who's the 'Love Story' Star by His Side?

Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend of six and a half years was spotted stepping out with “Love Story” star Sarah Pidgeon in New York City.Pidgeon — who played style icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in the recent hit FX series — was “allegedly spotted in Fort Greene [Brooklyn] last night [Wednesday]” with the “Hamnet” actor, according to Deuxmoi.However, the gossip blog’s post noted, “When Sarah was spotted with Jake Gyllenhaal it was later learned they were about to film a project together 👀.”Reps for Alwyn and Pidgeon did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment Friday evening.Joe Alwyn, seen above in March, was reportedly spotted on a date with Sarah Pidgeon on Wednesday in New York. WireImagePer Deux Moi, the pair was “allegedly spotted in Fort Greene” together. Pidgeon is pictured above earlier this month. Melanie Miller / BACKGRIDFans couldn’t help but sound off in the comments section, where one person quipped, “We about to get an album from Taylor.”Another wrote that Alwyn and Pidgeon would “be gorgeous together 😍,” while a third chimed in, “Obsessed with Taylor. But this works. Good for them.”The report comes as anticipation builds for the “Opalite” hitmaker’s wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — which sources recently dished to Page Six will be held at Madison Square Garden over the July 3 weekend.Alwyn, 35, and Swift, 36, dated from the fall of 2016 until their split in the spring of 2023, amid the launch of the pop star’s epic Eras Tour. An insider told Page Six at the time the breakup “wasn’t dramatic” and said the romance “just ran its course.”One person suggested in the comments section that they’d “be gorgeous together.” Pidgeon is seen here in New York earlier this month. AFP via Getty Images“Obsessed with Taylor. But this works,” another person wrote of Alwyn, seen here in May at the Met Gala. WireImageFollowing the split, Swifties speculated that some of her “Tortured Poets Department” hits — specifically “Loml,” “So Long, London” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” — contained references to the defunct romance.Alwyn, meanwhile, addressed the breakup in a June 2024 interview with the London Times. “I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathise and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years. That is a hard thing to navigate,” he explained to the outlet. The actor shared that the split was “unusual and abnormal” because it landed “suddenly in the public domain and the outside world is able to weigh in.”Alwyn and Taylor Swift, spotted here in 2019, broke up in 2023 after six and a half years together. GC ImagesAlwyn later called the split “unusual and abnormal” because of its high profile nature. He’s seen here with the Grammy-winning singer in 2020. NBCU Photo Bank“So you have something very real suddenly thrown into a very unreal space: tabloids, social media, press, where it is then dissected, speculated on, pulled out of shape beyond recognition,” he shared. He added: “And the truth is, to that last point, there is always going to be a gap between what is known and what is said. I have made my peace with that.”Pidgeon, 29, has never confirmed a relationship and fiercely protects her private life, though she was previously linked to Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper after starring alongside Harper in the band’s “It’s Been a Long Day” music video in 2022.Her onscreen and red carpet chemistry with “Love Story” co-star Paul Anthony Kelly also raised dating speculation among fans, but he’s been married to wife Syd Widziszewski since 2023.Though she sparked rumors of a potential romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, 45, after being spotted grabbing coffee in New York earlier this year, it turned out the pair are co-starring in upcoming dramedy film “Honeymoon with Harry” together.

The Surprising 4-Minute Routine Transforming Senior Fitness New

The Surprising 4-Minute Routine Transforming Senior Fitness

You could be building serious strength in the time it takes to unload the dishwasher. A new study from Penn State College of Medicine found that engaging in as little as four minutes of four key exercises may be enough to support overall physical function in aging folk.“The human body is designed to improve very quickly,” said lead author Christopher Sciamanna. “And just a few repetitions of an exercise performed regularly can lead to huge improvements. Exercise is about forward thinking — think about what you want to be able to do and train for it.” The study examined the effects of strength training on adults age 65 and older and found marked improvement in as little as 12 weeks. weyo – stock.adobe.comPublished in PLOS One, the study examined the effects of a minimal strength-training regimen on adults age 65 and older — and found marked improvement in as little as 12 weeks.Previous research has established that strength training can help people remain independent, recover from illness or injury, travel more easily and stay active later in life.But less than 20% of older adults meet the recommended two days per week of muscle-strengthening activity.Experts suspect one barrier to committing to a strength-training routine is the belief that a serious time commitment is required to reap the benefits.Yet Sciamanna and his team found that those benefits can be reaped in a shockingly short time.“There are huge problems with people wanting to do exercise. If we can make it short, we’re partway there,” co-author Smita Dandekar assured. Building on earlier research that found shorter routines just as effective as longer sets, the team tested a program called FAST (Functional Activity Strength Training)-2, which included four key exercises: push-ups, chair stands, two-arm rows and stair stepping.About 100 participants, with an average age of 74, were assigned this exercise regimen or no regimen at all.Those doing the exercise were given resistance bands and an adjustable stepper and instructed to perform each exercise for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of rest. A 2022 study dubbed the “flamingo challenge” found that middle-aged people who cannot balance on one foot for 10 seconds face a dramatically higher risk of early death. Prostock-studio – stock.adobe.comModifications, such as performing pushups with hands on a countertop or wall, or chair stands with hands on the knees, were allowed.As the study continued and participants improved, they were asked to try more advanced versions of the exercises, dropping modifications when possible and increasing step height. To measure progress, participants’ ability to stand up and stand on one leg was assessed at the beginning, middle, and end of the study.“These indicators predict your future ability to go into a nursing home, your future likelihood of falling, and of developing difficulty walking,” Sciamanna said. “They give you a sense of whether or not you’re going to be able to be active in the future.”Several studies have linked balance and stability to overall health.A 2022 study dubbed the “flamingo challenge” found that middle-aged people who cannot balance on one foot for 10 seconds face a dramatically higher risk of early death.In this latest study, researchers found that participants who followed the exercise regimen showed significant improvements in functional performance over three months. On average, the exercise cohort could do 4.2 more repetitions in a 30-second chair stand, 3.6 more seconds in one-legged stand time, and shaved 2.3 seconds off their sit-to-stand time.“These changes point to related improvements in daily life fitness, such as standing up from a chair, climbing stairs, and walking,” said Sciamanna.Results show that the brevity of the exercise program increased the likelihood that participants would commit to it, with participants completing the routine on 81% of days. According to Sciamanna, this completion rate proves that the program can easily fit into stacked schedules and time constraints, factors that have historically discouraged aging adults from starting and maintaining a fitness practice. “The findings are a promising indication that resistance training regimens do not have to be long to make a big difference in strength, mobility, and quality of life,” said Sciamanna.

Unexpected Celebrity Appearance Steals the Show at Couple's Second Wedding New

Unexpected Celebrity Appearance Steals the Show at Couple's Second Wedding

After their live wedding during Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime show went viral, Eleisa “Elly” Aparicio and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter were certainly not thinking to themselves, “Debí tirar más fotos.”They did, however, take aspects of that once-in-a-lifetime experience and incorporate them into a much more intimate second ceremony two months later at a winery in Temecula, California.“It was so sweet because having had the Super Bowl wedding prior, it was so nice that we could actually incorporate some elements of that into our personal wedding,” Aparicio, 30, told Page Six in an exclusive interview alongside Wolter, 32.The couple who wed during Bad Bunny’s halftime show (as seen above) told Page Six about how their second ceremony contained nods to the 2026 Super Bowl. Charles Wenzelberg/New York PostEleisa “Elly” Aparicio and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter sealed their legally binding marriage with a kiss at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in February. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post“Tommy and his mom and my mom walked down [the aisle] to ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos,’ but a piano rendition. And then all of our bridal party and groomsmen — they walked down to ‘Die With a Smile,’ also piano rendition.”Notably, Lady Gaga — who happens to be Aparicio’s favorite artist — surprised even the couple when she made an appearance during the show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium to deliver a never-before-heard salsa rendition of her and Bruno Mars’ hit ballad.“So just little things tied in,” Aparicio gushed, “and it was just a beautiful nod to what we had just experienced.”She did not, however, wear the Hayley Paige wedding dress she donned during the Super Bowl, as she had selected her actual gown a year prior in February 2025.The couple took “elements” of that once-in-a-lifetime experience and incorporated them into a much more intimate second ceremony two months later at a Temecula winery.

They were like, ‘Is he gonna come out? Is he gonna sing? Is he gonna perform?'” Wolter recalled. “And we had to tell everyone, ‘No, no. It’s just her and I!'”Lady Gaga surprised even the couple when she made an appearance during the halftime show to deliver a never-before-heard salsa rendition of her and Bruno Mars’ hit ballad.

By Eric West/@byericwestIt’s the wedding to which they had invited the Grammy-winning rapper back in October 2025. Though he technically declined, he did them one better by inviting them to wed in the middle of his electric yet emotional halftime performance that celebrated his native Puerto Rico.“Just being there was something that we never would’ve imagined ever in our entire lives, so that was just a crazy experience,” Aparicio marveled.“There were moments, especially every time we would rehearse, and we’d have to go up in the front and hold each other’s hands, we would look at each other and be like, ‘What are we doing?'”For the second wedding, Aparicio did not wear the Hayley Paige dress she donned during the Super Bowl, as she had selected her actual gown a year prior in February 2025. By Eric West/@byericwestBefore the big halftime show moment, Bad Bunny served as witness by signing Aparicio and Wolter’s marriage certificate. Instagram/ ellly_beanTheir families, who knew they were “involved” in the show but didn’t know how, were watching intently at home.“The first thing Tom and I did when we were done and we walked back to the backstage area, we just immediately both FaceTimed our moms and were like, ‘So? What’d you think?'” Aparicio shared, noting that her own mom — like the millions of people who watched — wasn’t sure whether the wedding was “real.”But it was! Antonio Reyes, a pastor at Project Church South Sacramento, served as officiant, and Bad Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — served as witness by signing their marriage certificate before the big spectacle.Aparicio and Wolter took the opportunity to give the Puerto Rican rapper some Pokémon cards — including a PSA 10 shiny Scorbunny — and a letter in Spanish. Instagram/ teezuspieceKay Jewelers gifted Aparicio and Wolter each a one-of-a-kind necklace featuring each other’s names and birthstones as well of the date of the Super Bowl — in Roman numerals.It was a special moment for Aparicio and Wolter, who told us they took the opportunity to gift the musician some Pokémon cards — including a PSA 10 shiny Scorbunny — and a letter in Spanish in which they thanked him for giving “two regular people in the world” such an unforgettable opportunity.To commemorate the remarkable moment, Kay Jewelers gifted Aparicio and Wolter each a one-of-a-kind necklace featuring each other’s names and birthstones as well of the date of the Super Bowl — in Roman numerals.“They came up with such beautiful, individualized pieces,” Aparicio gushed. “So that was an amazing experience, too.

Carly Pearce: The Unexpected Faith Journey That Defied Judgment New

Carly Pearce: The Unexpected Faith Journey That Defied Judgment

Carly Pearce is opening up about how her faith and relationship with God have grown. “I grew up in the church, and I think just my relationship with God has grown so much deeper and richer than just some of the beliefs that I learned as a kid. As I've grown closer to God, I think there's just been a lot less judgment and a lot more boldness, if you will, for me to just be very accepting of anybody going through a journey, because who am I to tell you anything?” she told Us Weekly exclusively at her fifth annual Carly’s Closet event ahead of her CMA Fest performance on Saturday, June 7. The country singer, 36, said her faith helps her stay grounded while working in showbiz. “I think it's everything. I think my faith and my family have been the center point. What I'm most proud of in my life is... I think anybody in my life that has known me my whole life would tell you I'm the exact same,” Pearce told Us. The “I Hope You're Happy Now” songbird hasn’t shied away from talking about tough issues in the past, including living with “crippling” obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety for most of her life. “When you're vulnerable with people and you're just honest, people want to share. I think we live in a world where we feel like we all have to have it all together, and if you speak about things like OCD, then something's wrong with you,” Pearce said on why she continues to share about her mental health struggles. “We're all dealing with mental health, and we're all dealing with struggles and real-life experiences, and I want to be somebody that maybe allows somebody else to share that they need help, or go talk to somebody. So, if I do it, maybe I can influence,” she explained. The Grammy Award winner has been doing the work on herself, even crediting therapy for helping her through. “I am who I am, and I think when you're in the public eye, it can be easy to kind of do this and want to maybe do what other people are doing because it's the flavor of the moment, but I'm really proud of myself that especially right now in my life, I am just myself and not trying to do anything else,” Pearce told Us. Pearce also revealed she’s learning to celebrate her flaws. “I've learned [to] embrace the imperfections and embrace what makes you you, what makes you quirky. I am weird. I am very odd, and I love that. I think life is too short to try to live in a pursuit of perfection because it's never going to happen,” she stated. The “Every Little Thing" singer has been an open book recently. Just last month, Pearce addressed her messy split from ex-husband Michael Ray during an episode of the “Person Who Believed in Me” podcast. “There’s a bit of Jekyll and Hyde … that I did not see until it was too late,” she said in May. “He made it very clear that I made a very big mistake.” Pearce and Ray, 38, tied the knot in 2019. They were married for only eight months when she filed for divorce in June 2020. Their divorce was finalized three months later in September 2020. While her marriage didn’t work out, Pearce has found a soulmate in fellow country singer Kelsea Ballerini. “Oh my God, it's like nothing else I have,” she told Us about her friendship with Ballerini, 32. “Truly, we've been friends since she was barely 19 and I was like 22. She's my sister in this industry,” she continued. “We have had hard conversations, we have cried to each other, we have been there in the hardest moments, and truly, I am forever grateful. She inspires me, and just the superpower star that she is. She is a wonderful person and I'll always root for her.” Ballerini feels the same about their bond and fellowship. “I’m ride or die for her, for sure. Carly and I are sweatpants friends, like, we kick it, you know,” she told Us ahead of SoFi’s Amplify Your Ambitions contest on June 4.

Call prices and local rates will also remain the same.The switch is led by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, NANPA, who is responsible for issuing and managing telephone numbers across the United States, Canada and some areas in the Caribbean.The organization hands out millions of numbers every year, tracking number inventories nationwide. It then predicts when area codes will run out of available numbers — hence the new digits.New York City has seen numerous new area codes pop up with the most recent switch back in 2011, when 929 rolled out.For years, Gotham City held the 212 area code — screaming old school — until it was absolutely exhausted and the need for new numbers was forced in 1984. While Manhattan kept 212, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island moved to 718. And as the city grew, so did the codes.In 1992, the first citywide overlay was rolled out in all five boroughs for cell phones and pagers — the 917.Then came the 646. This was added back in 1999 and was the dedicated area code added for Manhattan. The trend continued and number fatigue got the much-needed relief.Starting June 18, the new 465 chapter begins.If you’re one of the New Yorkers about to lose your civic pride, we feel for you. As Carrie Bradshaw shouted, “I’m a 917 girl.”

Tim Allen's Birthday Gift From Jimmy Kimmel Sparks Uncomfortable Moment New

Tim Allen's Birthday Gift From Jimmy Kimmel Sparks Uncomfortable Moment

Jimmy Kimmel’s gift-giving can use some improvement.On Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the host presented Tim Allen with an early birthday gift after the actor expressed his interest in owning a “real tank” — like Jay Leno “who got a tank from the President of Syria.”After unwrapping a book on tanks, the soon-to-be 73-year-old said, “Oh, look at that!”“I couldn’t get you a tank because I don’t know the President of Syria like Jay Leno does,” Kimmel explained, referencing Allen’s erroneous tale. Tim Allen told Jimmy Kimmel he hated the military tank book the late-night host got him for his birthday. Jimmy Kimmel Live/Youtube“I’ve got to be honest with you. I hate these books,” the “Santa Clause” star confessed, adding that he doesn’t have time to look through coffee table books. Jimmy Kimmel Live/YoutubeHowever, Allen couldn’t hide his disappointment for long as he told Kimmel candidly, “I’ve got to be honest with you. I hate these books.”While the “Shifting Gears” star appreciated the gesture, he explained that he isn’t a fan of coffee table books and doesn’t have time to look through them.However, he kept the book because it included a few images of tanks he hadn’t seen.Though the “Home Improvement” actor claimed the President of Syria had gifted Leno a military vehicle, it was actually the King of Jordan, Abdullah II. In May, the former talk show host revealed on Spikes Car Radio that Abdullah had his “royal jet” drop off a military tank, leading Leno to register as an “arms dealer” because he was “bringing in heavy equipment.”The “Home Improvement” alum did appreciate that talk show host’s gesture, noting that he will keep the book since there were a few tanks in there that he hasn’t seen before. Jimmy Kimmel Live/YoutubeAllen had expressed jealousy over Jay Leno (as seen here in May 2025) owning a military tank. Jay Leno's Garage/YoutubeMost recently, Allen opened up about how being a father wasn’t part of his plan while growing up.“I never really wanted to be a dad,” he told US Weekly. “I joke about it on stage; I’ve just never been a real fan of children.”He shares daughter Katherine, 37, with his first wife, Laura Deibel, and daughter Elizabeth, 17, with his current wife, Jane Hajduk.Allen went on to say that there is no manual for raising kids, adding that it was “a work in progress.”Allen (pictured here on Tuesday) previously spoke about how he didn’t aspire to become a dad when he was younger. FilmMagic“I never really wanted to be a dad,” he told US Weekly. “I joke about it on stage; I’ve just never been a real fan of children.” Gareth Cattermole/Getty ImagesThe “Wild Hogs” star confessed that Hajduk, 59, would have loved to share five children with him, “because you learn on the first two.”“With Kate, I was gone a lot, so her mom did most of the raising.” Allen continued. “I come from [a family of] seven boys and two girls, and it’s a very different world to me with girls. I have a different view of what will make a strong woman.”The dad of two also admitted that he has “little interest” in “girl stuff,” like clothes and gossip, instead focusing on “learning finances, learning how to take care of yourself, and that works for boys and girls.”Allen (pictured here with wife Jane Hajduk and daughter Elizabeth in 2018) has two daughters from two relationships. Getty ImagesWhile the dad of two (pictured here with his family on Tuesday) was never into girl stuff, he focused on learning “finances” and how to “take care of yourself” to teach his daughters. Getty Images for DisneyThe star also touched on his sobriety, detailing that he wasn’t sober during some of Katherine’s formative years.“I made amends to her. With the younger one, I see how much different it is when I’ve been sober almost 30 years,” Allen told the outlet. “She never knew any of that guy. I’ve thought about it many times, and I’ve talked to Kate, and she doesn’t hold it against me.”At 25, the comic was arrested in Michigan on drug trafficking charges, going on to spend two years in prison.The sitcom star then got sober and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a Hollywood career.The “Wild Hogs” star (pictured here with his wife, daughters and son-in-law, Divighn on Tuesday) shared that once he got sober, he apologized to Katherine (second from the right) for being under the influence during her formative years. AFP via Getty ImagesIn 1997, while starring on “Home Improvement,” he was arrested for driving under the influence. He pleaded guilty and was ordered to counseling sessions, but chose to check into rehab instead.“I’ve been drugs and alcohol-free for about 22 years,” Allen shared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in 2020. “Because I had money and I was a star, people help, they enable you to get by. The program I practice, it’s all about as soon as you get it, you gotta give it away. It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a day-to-day thing. You gotta reprise every day.”If you or someone you care about is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Why 'Human Barbie' Is Opting for a Radical Change Below the Belt New

Why 'Human Barbie' Is Opting for a Radical Change Below the Belt

Forget the face — the latest frontier when it comes to body modifications in Hollywood is happening down under.Marcela Iglesias, the self-proclaimed “human Barbie,” is preparing for her latest cosmetic transformation: a designer vagina makeover that will use donor-derived tissue, commonly known as cadaver fat.The Argentinian reality TV personality told The California Post she plans to undergo the cutting-edge procedure in Beverly Hills this summer under the care of plastic surgeon Dr. Ariel Ourian. The Calabasas-based bombshell is no stranger to pushing cosmetic boundaries, and just last year received a blood transfusion to fight aging with her son’s blood.

Marcela IglesiasIglesias underwent a Baywatch-inspired breast augmentation with Dr. Ourian to achieve a classic “Pamela Anderson look.” Marcela IglesiasThe vaginal procedure is expected to cost between $25,000 and $30,000. Marcela IglesiasDespite her reputation, Iglesias does not embrace extreme cosmetic procedures. Marcela IglesiasIglesias moved from Argentina to Los Angeles 26 years ago. Triangle NewsBut for her upcoming aesthetic overhaul, she is turning back the clock on her most intimate area with a combination of a labiaplasty, a clitoral hood reduction, and of course, the highly specialized fat transfer.“The same way we lose volume on the face with the years, we lose volume down there on the lips,” Iglesias told The Post. “I wanted it to look a little more plump and youthful. This is basically a facelift for the vagina.”While a traditional labiaplasty reshapes the area, Iglesias’s procedure is uniquely unusual because it involves injecting tissue harvested from deceased donors.The cosmetic upgrade quickly turned into a functional enhancement during her consultation at Dr. Ourian’s Bedford Drive clinic, when he suggested adding a clitoral hood reduction to the ticket. “I asked, ‘Why do I need that?’ and he told me, ‘Well, more sensation,'” Iglesias recalled with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Really? Wow, let’s go!’ It’s not a need, it’s a want. A lot of women don’t even put a mirror down there to see how their parts look. Why not build the best version of yourself?”The procedure is expected to take place in early July and could cost between $25,000 and $30,000, according to Iglesias.Over the years, she has made headlines for a string of unconventional beauty treatments. Triangle NewsMarcela Iglesias is a self-proclaimed “human Barbie.” Marcela IglesiasThe Calabasas-based bombshell is no stranger to pushing cosmetic boundaries. Marcela IglesiasShe hopes to avoid general anesthesia and instead undergo the procedure with local anesthesia. Recovery is expected to take roughly two weeks.Iglesias moved to Los Angeles from Buenos Aires 26 years ago because she thought “everyone looked like the Baywatch people.” She waited until her son turned 21 before undergoing her first major surgery in 2022 with Dr. Ourian, which was a Baywatch-inspired breast augmentation to achieve a classic “Pamela Anderson look.”Over the years, she has made headlines for a string of unconventional treatments, including a so-called “spider butt lift” using PDO threads, leech therapy, stem cell infusions and even drinking live insects as part of an alternative wellness regimen.Despite her reputation, Iglesias does not embrace extreme cosmetic procedures. “For me, extreme is removing ribs or changing your bone structure,” she said. “That’s not something I would do. I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly.”“We have the chance to look good, feel better about ourselves, and maintain our appearance,” Iglesias said. “So, why not?”Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up here!
