A Family Affair
Two divorces left Leon Seidman, the King of Catnip, feeling self-conscious about his body. More than one million men chose plastic surgery last year. And that number is still rising. Jeff Seidman, 20, who used to weigh 240 pounds, is now a relatively svelte 218. Daniel Seidman, 26, is in great shape, but he says he wants to fix some spots on his body. Meet Leon Seidman and his sons – Jeff, 20, and Daniel, 26.
They are three regular guys, more or less. Only they want to emphasize the less.
“I’ve always wanted to deal with my body,” says Leon.
“I don’t want to look the way I do now,” adds son, Jeff.
“I look in the mirror and I see love handles,” says his brother, Daniel. “I want them to be gone.”
The three Seidmans have spent most of their lives in Hagerstown, Md. Leon is known as the King of Catnip, a business he founded and is handling down to his sons.
“This is a pretty cool way to make a living,” says Leon. “This is a lot of fun. You get to play with cats and make people happy.”
But Leon was not happy about his social life. Two divorces left him feeling self-conscious about his body.
“I have always had very large breasts,” says Leon.
Jeff and Daniel also have their own issues. Jeff was always a very big kid. And Daniel says he’s always been a perfectionist about his body.
All three began thinking seriously about having plastic surgery. But in a place like Hagerstown, the very idea of suctioning fat from your body can seem downright un-American.
