Erica Rose, 23, had her nose reshaped. Her father is a very successful plastic surgeon in Texas.
Rose was just ousted from The Bachelor show. She is looking for love but hasn't been lucky in Texas and says she is moving to Los Angeles soon. Here's an excerpt from Reality TV World;
For those wondering how Erica ended up on The Bachelor, she says it was her father's idea. "It was my Dad's idea for me to do this whole thing because I had been complaining forever about my dating life, it had been terrible, and I don't want to insult Texas guys, but I do think that was largely the problem," Erica told reporters. "He was complaining to me how my ex-boyfriends, he thought, were like trying to make my Dad support them and he was tired of it and like here's this guy that you know won't do that, hopefully, and he thought that maybe it could work out."
According to Erica, all of her previous ex-boyfriends have been significantly less well off financially. "All of my ex-boyfriends have been from different backgrounds than me and they've all expected like my family and me to kinda like support them and take them on vacations and you know pay for everything and buy them expensive presents and I was just you know tired of that."
"I think that I you know, have much more to offer than my money -- I think I'm smart, I think I'm pretty, I think I'm fun, whatever -- [so] that's what I was kinda hoping for with Lorenzo is that I would find someone that we could get past that you know financial situation and just get to know each other and that didn't work out."
Erica blames a "Prince Charming complex" for her inability to find a guy with a "similar background." "The biggest problem is that a lot those guys -- that I grew up with and Lorenzo is like -- you know, want to be a Prince Charming. I don't know what is in them that makes them that way, you know my brother isn't like that so I don't understand why they're like that, it's weird."
"I want someone from a similar background. I want someone who is educated and smart. I would like someone who is funny. I want someone who knows how to ski, because I go to Aspen, I go to my house there all the time and they need to come ski with me, you know that would be great. I want them to have flexibility and be able to travel with me a lot. I have to be attracted to them but to tell you the truth like, physical attraction, for me, is not the most important thing because they need to have a good sense of style and be well dressed and well groomed and take care of their body -- you know, so many different things -- I need to be able to take them to a charity event and they need to be able to fit in and have good conversations with people and I want them to be family oriented because I'm very family oriented and they have to want to have kids and I have to think they're going to be a good father. And be a good husband -- not the type that will cheat -- and like you know, my list can go on for days."
