I want to start a big-nose acceptance movement. Mostly because I want plastic surgery reality shows to stop telling me that my big old crooked nose is terrifying children :(
@LolaQuinn: I love big noses! Aquiline noses, crooked noses, straight noses, formerly broken and reset noses; they're all great. It may be because mine is so small-- I used to tug on the tip of it at night to try to encourage it to grow!
Who knew it would be so easy to come up with a downside to a reduction in violence in Iraq?
I know this isn't a popular opinion here, but really, plastic surgery is not the greatest evil ever to be visited upon the Earth. Yes, some people do it with distorted expectations for how it will improve their lives; and yes, plenty of people make aesthetic choices that you may find questionable; and yes, it is important to love yourself for who you are. But I don't think plastic surgery is automatically a bad/gross/anti-feminist/self-hating thing. We all do certain things to appease our vanity and make ourselves feel attractive.
Obviously, this is more extreme than a new dye job or teeth whitening or an expensive outfit. But plastic surgery can make people feel better about how they look, and like it or not, that can really make you feel better about yourself as you go about your daily life. I'm not saying a combo nose job/boob job/tummy tuck is the answer to self esteem issues. I just don't think we should judge these poor women for wanting the chance to make these (yes, maybe selfish; sure, maybe vain) choices for themselves.
Two observations: (1) It is beyong uncouth to have Lacey's "LOST TWO SIZES!" right next to Jade's deathbed vigil.
(2) If Nicole Ritchie is actually having twins, let me tell ya, there ain't no one in Hollywood having kids the old fashioned way anymore. Every single one of those people with multiples is running to the doctor to get fertility treatments and I guarantee you they are not all having fertility problems (unless it is anorexia related).
How did they know Katie was looking at her stomach when she glanced down and smiled? When I glance down and smile it's either because I love my shoes or my boyfriend.
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: ...I think they're boring because they're not gross ENOUGH. I like to be able to look at tiny kidneys and large intestines. Once I dissected a frog that had three legs and liver cancer. Now that's cool.
