They get me an extra stage session or two per week down at The Gold Club on Howard so I can't complain.

Men's calf implants are increasingly popular. ;)

Thank goodness, the one thing I don't need to worry about...
:D

How about Holstein implants?

It's funny you should say that... a few years ago, by chance I landed on MTV. (I stay away from it generally.) I bumped into a documentary about young people and plastic surgery, and it focused on a buff young guy who was getting calf implants.

The sad thing is that he treated the people around him like ****; he was misogynistic and crude. And he kept saying "women just aren't attracted to me because of my legs. These implants are going to make all the difference."

Yeaaaah, honey. It's your currently-muscular-but-not-huge calves that are turning people off, not the fact that you're one of the biggest assholes I've ever seen depicted on-screen. You keep believing that the calves are the problem.

On another surgical topic - I'm on the fence about gastric bypass surgery. Sure, it's done some good things for some people. The problem is that forced behavioral changes (i.e. can't overeat because it's impossible and will hurt if I try) don't always "take" as well as chosen behavioral changes (i.e. choose not to overeat because it's good for me.) As a result, I've seen some people who've had the surgery gain a lot of weight back when their tiny available portion of stomach stretches back out to the point that they can overeat again - and without developing the "choosing" skills based on will power as opposed to, say, pain... it has not looked, to me, like a long-term solution.

Plus, I find that you can "shrink" your stomach by yourself. Eating tiny frequent meals does it naturally. So, me? I'm not planning to get one. I will keep doing my best to make good choices and stay active. And if it ever becomes clear that my will power and good choices somehow lead to additional weight gain (since I've been about the same size for six years) or if I become immobile (as in the case of my mother with her auto-immune disease) I might consider it. For now, it seems like the wrong choice for me.

How did I not see this thread before?

I think what Joan Van Ark, Mary Tyler Moore, Joan Rivers, Kenny Rogers etc. have done is overboard. One can grow old without being a prune on one end or a caricatured freak on the other.

There are certain procedures I would like to have done though (though hopefully, nothing around the middle, I know diet and exercise can take care of that on me, and it's cheaper than a tummy tuck and lipo anyway). I'm not completely opposed to eventual Botox treatments. There are, however, certain things I find unattractive on me -- hair in various places that I'd like lasered, hair in other places that I would like put back, and for some reason I find having that crinkled skin in front the tragus on the ears unattractive. My dad has that, and if I did I would have it smoothed out somehow.

Joan Van Ark tho looks as bad as the cat lady.

There is also a former gay porn star who had massive amounts of plastic surgery to his face. He looks hideous now. I can't remember his name, so I can't search for pictures.

Wasn't that Nirvanaman?

What do you know, it only took 30 years but she finally achieved every young girls dream back in 1975 of one day being Dr. Joyce Brothers.
