Amy Winehouse Looks Horrible
What else am I supposed to title this piece? I don’t know what else to say and there’s no way to sugarcoat it. She looks like death on a cracker.
The Daily Mail published some photos of the singer buying a tanning bed, and they show that not only has Amy gone downhill fast after the Grammys, but she may have returned to self-harming herself:
The singer was seen leaving her Camden home with the two-pence coin-sized rash on her face, which her spokesperson previously described as ‘impetigo’.
Impetigo is an infection of the skin caused by a bacteria which causes a blistered crusty rash. […]
But even a tan [from the new tanning bed] would not be able to hide the fresh scratches which were evident on her arm, which raises more fears about the singer’s well-being, and whether she may be self-harming.
The Grammy winner was first spotted with the infection, which initially revealed itself as a lump on her face early in the month fuelling speculation that it was caused by a hard knock on her face. […]
A source said recently: “All the optimism after the Grammys has gone. Amy is sliding towards oblivion.”
Now that I get a good look at the side of her face, it does look like impetigo, and it looks like it is spreading. If you scratch it, pick at it, or otherwise get it inflamed, it can spread to other parts of your skin…and with Amy’s skin looking rough, I’m sure it has lots of open places to spread to.
However, that doesn’t explain the huge lump she had on her face a few weeks ago. I’m thinking that the lump and the rash were two different things caused by two different events. The lump could have been an infected tooth, or she could have fallen and hurt herself, with the impetigo being a separate thing just happening to coincide with the swollen area, since impetigo doesn’t cause swelling. Plus, drug use has undoubtedly not helped her complexion woes any, and it has probably helped lower her immunity towards any sort of infection that comes along. And she’s showing a blatant disregard towards others…impetigo is highly contagious, and while she may think she’s got it hidden, others can catch the infection. She needs to maybe, I don’t know, stay home?
Regardless, Amy’s appearance has gone downhill fast. And those long gashes on her arms don’t look good either. They don’t look like anything that happened accidentally People who self-harm are often fighting against low self-esteem and a sense of trying to take things out on oneself, a feeling of hopelessness which manifests in the overwhelming urge to hurt oneself in some way. But there are many reasons why people cut themselves or do themselves harm. There is help available for the person who self-harms, but you have to be receptive to it…something which Amy has repeatedly said “no no no” to.
Amy desperately needs help, and I sincerely hope she gets it. I do hope her family, who were so present during the Grammys, are trying to help her behind the scenes. I also hope they are preparing for her inevitable end….because if she doesn’t straighten up, that is exactly what is going to happen. I know I keep saying that, and I don’t want it to happen…but let’s face it, unless she can face the fact that she needs more help than a two-week stay in a rehab center that is exactly what is going to happen.

Here is a link to one of the photos.
The handles look plastic. And you don’t get marks like that from carrying a purse.
They are on her left arm. If she is right-handed, they could very well be made by her right hand.

Nope, those are scratches. Does she have kitties?

I remember in the infamous crack-smoking video she was worried about her cat. I don’t know as she still has it, however.
I am not so sure those look like cat scratches to me. (I have two cats myself.) It’s funny how they so often occur in that one specific area on her left arm, around the tattoo of the naked woman.

Those scratches look like they have been made with a blade, for example the blade out of a stanly knife or something
