These moms spend thousands on cosmetic surgery to get Coachella-ready
Sarah Mirmelli is ready to face the music.
Before heading to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., this weekend, the 33-year-old divorced mother of two blew $20,000 in preparation. Her clothing alone for the weekend — a “sick” outfit featuring a vintage Guns N’ Roses T-shirt, YSL army jacket, denim cutoffs, corset, thigh-high leather boots — was $8,000. She spent thousands more on Botox, lip injections, boxing classes and a personal trainer who helped her drop 10 pounds in advance of the three-day-long concert in the California desert. In the month leading up to it, she even gave up alcohol and went vegan to get in shape for the debauchery to come.
“Everything’s about Coachella,” says Mirmelli, who started going to the desert festival after needing to cut loose following her divorce six years ago. This year is her fifth time attending.
“[Getting ready for it] doesn’t have to be a full-time job,” she says. “But I’m making it one.”
The annual festival has long been a place for teens and 20-somethings to frolic and Instagram while inebriated and scantily clad in a 78-acre polo field, while also taking in a cacophony of pop, rock, electronic and rap music.

“You can go like a peasant, too, but it’s going to suck,” says Mirmelli, who splits her time between Miami and Midtown and works as an associate publisher for Haute Living (when she’s not prepping for “ ’Chella”). “The goal is looking blog-ready.”

If she’s like my ex, lots on our daughter (who doesn’t have my genes) and a pittance on our son.
We all hate you.
Geez, she should have had eye surgery. I probably weigh 20lbs less than she does and still I would know enough not to attempt that outfit.
Or a mirror.
Ya think? I think $40,000 might cover it.
33 yr. old - goal to look blog ready
Our culture is truly sick that it is producing women who have an actual stated goal such as this; a 33 woman who is a mother.
“You can go like a peasant...
I think she'd have been better served by buying a pair of running shoes and using them regularly. OR spending less money in the grocery store and restaurants.
I've been fighting the battle of the bulge for the last 50 years, so I know it's not easy, but on the other hand I also harbor no illusions about how I look, and for that woman to strike that pose in those clothes leaves me with the conclusion that she is seriously self deluded about her appearance.
“The goal is looking blog-ready.”
Mental retardation can sometimes be a hard look to pull off.
I hope that is her “Before” picture.
Unfortunately not.
“I have the confidence that they don’t have,” she says.”
...yet she spends a wad on cosmetic surgery to try and not look her age.
I have been to Coachella and there is a contingent that is over the top in what they spend. I did the VIP Coachella tickets in 2011 and every 20th person in the VIP area was a celebrity. It was a lot of fun but it is a carnival of the venal, very Californian.
I don’t know, ethel mertz is starting to look hot.
Ginger vs. Mary Ann ? nope....Lovey Howell.
LOL!
I’d hate to see the before shot.
Yes. I suspect that's exactly what happened in this case. Just he didn't get the plastic surgery, the clothing or the debauchery. The ho-bag got all that.
I don’t think I even spent $50 on a concert when I was a teen. What a bunch of pathetic, self centered women.
That depends upon whose hair she is dressing!
