Big Fake Boobies Bad
Oh ho ho ho, did I ever find Dr. 90210 disturbing tonight. Not that I normally find the show anything but bizarre but for some reason watching a porn actress who couldn't have been more than 25 laying knocked out on an operating table with two big holes where her nipples should have been getting big clear 700 cc implants stuffed in those holes just struck me as sad and fucked up on so many levels.
Again, I realize I'm stating the obvious here but it's just so disgustingly, god-awfully wrong to do that to yourself, to chop every last bit of yourself up and bleed all over the place and then stuff all sorts of synthetics in yourself. It's barbaric and tragic and horrible.
And then even if you don't get plastic surgery you go to the grocery store where you're bombarded with all kinds of food that's bad for you that will make you fat and kill you and as you wait in line to buy those foods there are racks of magazines with pictures of women with bodies that are anorectically thin and whose flaws have been airbrushed.
I'm too tired tonight to do much more than say that I wish the world wasn't like this for women and that I wasn't susceptible to wanting to be all skinny sometimes myself.

It really is sick what the media has done to the average American's self-image. It's been restated often in many publications, but only a small percentage (below 5% as I recall) of people are even genetically capable of looking like the size 2 walking busts in beauty magazines. I think it helps if one is mindful of the media that they consume or at least take it all with several very large grains of salt :)

In other gross 90210 news, I was reading on a trashy website how porn stars not only get the implants you mentioned but also get their labies (aka meat curtains) cut off/reduced to better facilitate a good veiw of the penetration shots.
So, how come in Africa that's called genital mutilation but in LA it's job security?
Summation: ick!

For the record, I know how to spell the name for the outter most part of the female genetalia - LABIA.
I'm cut off from posting.

Regina - I believed in you from the start and appreciated "labies" as an alternate label for the flesh petticoats, a term of endearment even.
So YES - this is all so disturbing. I work with a woman who is a beautiful, intelligent, creative mother of two genius children. She is a marathon runner and has a body off of which you could bounce quarters. When she decided to have no more kids, she go breast implants. She actually said to me: "It's just not fair that I have to pay $6000 for what you have naturally."
WHAT?
With all that going for you, darling, you still need big boobs to feel complete? I wanted to cry. It is so sad, because it just seems impossible fr most women not only to be happy the way they are, but to look beyond physical appearance for things that really matter in life.
Sigh.
