plastic surgery the new black

Everyone seems to be getting some level of plastic surgery or another. Its accessable, more affordable perhaps. Why do women feel the need or desire to alter their bodies and faces? Sometimes having devastating consequences. Is it really worth it whatever the intent?



above Venus ressurected.


The venus of vilandorf - 25,000 year old figurine. 4" carved of limestone. No face, exagerated genitalia. Dr Nigel Pively argues that our brains are pre programmed to create unrealistic images of human beings and weve been predisposed this way for at least 25,000 years.




The above is an ad for plastic surgery.

Is it really a rational choice? Do we care if it is or not? Should we care? Is it self esteem? Or is it deep rooted values that have been passed thru generations that make us believe we should look and be a certain way?



Yeah that looks much better - just a wee nip here and a tuck there - and you'll be perfect. trust me im a doctor!




Hello Georgeous!
Are we moving towards a world where it will be unacceptable not to look "perfect"?
