This one speaks for itself. Solange Magnano, a former Miss Argentina (and mother of two), died of complications from gluteoplasty…or in other words, butt implants. You really can’t make this stuff up. Nice that every once in a while a cause celebre comes around to remind us that vanity is a sin. Why do I envision all this ending up with Brad Pitt’s wife’s head in a box???

An ex-model who was obsessed with maintaining her youthful looks has died  following surgery to make her buttocks firmer. Former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano, 38, was rushed to hospital with severe  breathing problems after the cosmetic operation. The mother of eight-year-old twins died on Sunday from a blocked lung artery after spending three days in a critical condition in intensive care.

Her close friend and fashion designer Roberto Piazza said the brunette had become obsessed with her looks as her successful modelling career approached its end. He said: ‘Solange was a girl who had everything. She lived the life of a  goddess, she was the envy of everybody. ’Now she is dead because she wanted a slightly firmer behind.

‘She died because of her obsession with beauty.’

Ms Magano, who was crowned Miss Argentina in 1994, previously had cosmetic  surgery on her breasts after the birth of her twins. Last Thursday she travelled from her home in Cordoba to the capital Buenos Aires for the buttock implants.

But she was rushed from a private clinic to hospital shortly after the surgery, a normally routine procedure called gluteoplasty.
