OK I just stumbled upon this picture and I am genuinely fascinated. Apparently he's a baseball legend called Sammy Sosa. Sorry I don't know who he is but his transformation is amazing. TBH I think he looked better before though.

Obviously Michael Jackson is the most obvious example of changing skin colour though I cant recall him admitting to having cosmetic procedures: didnt he claim he had vitiligo or something?

So yeah, Im starting this thread to hopefully learn more about the actual procedures of skin lightening and also how people feel about it generally. Ive read bits about chemical peels and creams etc but I've not looked into it at all.

Generally speaking I think it's weird how many whites strive to look darker and many blacks want to look lighter!

They used to call me Sammy Sosa in middle school, because we have the same name.

He looked better before.

This is sad.
All that and he still looks like Dracula.

This always saddens me every time I see it. He should've left his skin alone.

I guess no one's safe from what people think is beautiful.

At least take out the damn contacts.

Are you sure it's not a disease/illness/condition? Because his eyes are considerably lighter as well, and I don't think he would change that.

The new skin color is atrocious. It doesn't blend well, his skin is very patchy.

[Amaru]

He ruined himself

Always plottin', ain't you?

He bleached his skin, but this is really old and he's reverted back to his original skin color.

Why can't people be happy with what God gave them?

OMG

These things called "colored contacts" can have that effect.

There's another rapper as well. Cant remember his name right now..
