Priscilla Presley's Face Was Injected With Auto Lube

Consider this post to be your PSA of the day, ladies: If one of your friends hosts an "injection party" where an unlicensed doctor from Argentina offers to pump your face with an illegal, non-FDA approved "miracle injection" he smuggled into the country for the bargain price of $500 a shot, claim you left your wallet at home, offer to go get it, and then RUN AWAY AND NEVER TALK TO THOSE CRAZY BITCHES AGAIN.

(And here I used to be annoyed for getting suckered into $20 measuring spoons at a Pampered Chef party.)

So if you've been watching Dancing with the Stars, you have probably at some point looked at Priscilla Presley's face and thought: hmmm. Or maybe: huuuuuh.

Turns out Priscilla was a victim of Dr. Daniel Serrano, a phony cosmetics peddler who targeted the Hollywood social scene with anti-aging injections that he claimed were better than Botox.

It was actually low-grade industrial silicone. Basically: auto-part lubricant. Now that is hott.

According to TMZ:

Several women, including Shawn King, Larry's wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S. Shawn King has said the injections created a lump in her lip that made it difficult to speak and drink liquids.

Other victims suffered lumps, paralysis and HOLES IN THEIR FACES after getting the shots. Oh my heavens.

Serrano, who was nicknamed Dr. Jiffy Lube, was indicted by the Feds for smuggling drugs, and the conspiracy and use of unapproved drugs. He was convicted, and last week he was released and is currently being investigated by federal immigration officials and could be deported.

Okay, so I guess once you become comfortable with the idea of injecting botulism into your face, perhaps it isn't that big of a jump to becoming comfortable with getting mystery shots in your friend's living room over cocktails and finger sandwiches. Perhaps. I don't know. My friends and I are more of the backyard barbecue types.

Priscilla claims she had no idea she was being injected with silicone (oh, and clearly, there was NO REASON TO BE SUSPICIOUS) and is currently undergoing corrective work.
