Los Angeles, CA, May 12, 2014 – "Are you one of the boring people, who don’t want to be beautiful?" This is the lead off lyric to a new song called "The Plastics", the debut single from the group known as "The Plastics", and in case you were ever wondering if you were, you just might find out by listening. The Plastics are made up of Toby Sheldon – the man who underwent $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber, Venus D’Lite – a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race who has spent thousands to look like her idol Madonna, and Kitty Jay – who, you guessed it – spent $25,000 to look like Jennifer Lawrence. The song also features Adam Barta, who co- wrote the lyrics.
Why come together and release a music single? They want their message spread far and wide – being plastic is "in". The song is an ode to plastic surgery, and the aficionados who love it and live it, much like these plastics do.
Of course, with a song this fun, there’s a music video that is sure to go viral. And it’s just what you would expect – the plastics in the recording studio and their favorite place on Earth... the doctor’s office getting some work done!
Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Persky of Encino, CA and plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman of NYC both appear in the video.
All three plastics became instant celebrities when the media broke their stories. They have appeared on shows like E! News, Inside Edition, Nightline, TMZ, My Strange Addiction, and popped up in mainstream print publications like Cosmo, the NY Post and countless more.

WHAT DOES TIME MAGAZINE SAY ABOUT THEIR VIDEO?
It's awful, but also amazing.
What do you do with your free time after you’ve spent your life savings on plastic surgery to look like a famous celebrity? You form a supergroup with other über-fans who have spent thousands of dollars to look like other famous celebrities, of course.
Toby Sheldon, the Justin Bieber fan who underwent $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like his idol has teamed up with Kitty Jay, the woman who spent $25,000 on surgery to look like Jennifer Lawrence, and Venus D’Lite, the RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant who dropped some serious cash to morph into Madonna, to form an aptly-named group, the Plastics.
Their first release is a celebration of celebrity lookalikes that opens with a question: “Are you one of those boring people who don’t want to be beautiful?” The video features the trio extolling the virtues of their lifestyle choices and could easily double as a late-night cable ad for plastic surgeons everywhere.
