Nope: that's pretty much it.

Also known as "Designa Vagina"

Ok, I cringed on that one. There are some bits that no knife (or laser) had better touch unless there's something seriously actually *wrong*. Boobies and hoo-haw qualify.

Sorry if I offend anyone but here's how I feel - plastic surgery purely for vanity purposes (not from being disfigured) is totally fvcked up in my book. It never, ever looks good. I know this is an especially awful example, but come on, show me one where you couldn't tell.

I was at a training conference recently, in a room with probably 200 people, and suddenly it occured to me - so many people dye their hair in colors that make it obvious that they dye their hair. Everywhere I looked, there were blondes with that odd shade that doesn't really exist, oddly chunky highlights, unnaturally red streaks. To me, I don't see pretty hair, I see the word FAKE HAIR written all over them. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE screams their heads. I know I'm in a minority on this, but I can't get over it. To me it's as crazy as Louis XIV powdered wigs.

I realize my border line is about permanency. If you put a ton of product in your hair and it can wash out, then I have no problem. If your hair is permanently dyed, and you keep dying it to maintain an "illusion" (um, if I can tell your hair could never naturally be that color, there's no illusion there) then that's crossed a line for me. It's funny though, because if you style your hair every day, isn't that just as fake, really? Odd how my brain works. Natural colors? Somehow I feel ok with that. I guess the measure is - can I tell at first glance?

Anyway - plastic surgery never looks right. And it always means you've cut into your own flesh to strip it off. I simply cannot believe how socially accepted this is. To me, it's a sci-fi nightmare turned reality.

iSm, you look fantastic for your age! You, of all people, do not need these shenanigans.

Well, I am not offended, but I have to say that I totally disagree with you.

First, what constitutes "being disfigured"? On one hand, if someone had a cleft palate or some other prominent facial disfiguration, I would assume this would in your book be acceptable for plastic surgery. But if the disfiguration was not impeding any senses, wouldn't the surgery be strictly "for vanity purposes?"

On the other side of the coin, what if someone felt that their eyelids drooped too much or they didn't like how their jowls hung down? If the surgery helped them feel better about themselves, why is this a negative thing?

A relative of ours has very small breasts. That in and of itself was not an issue, but they were very uneven in size. Bras never fit her right. So she had a breast augmentation, to not only even them out, but to give her just a little bit of boost.

And lastly, I completely disagree that "plastic surgery never looks right." Yes, there are a lot of bad jobs out there, but there are also a lot of very good jobs done. The thing is, if it is done right, unless you knew the person before the work, you would probably never know they had the work done. I know two people who had work done and had I not known what they looked like beforehand, I would never have known they had the work done.

I understand that plastic surgery is not for you. I'm cool with that and fully support it. But dismiss it for everyone else.

I did it last year and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was for medical purposes, and since they were already doing it I had a bit of cosmetic correction done. And it did wonders for me.

If you're wondering, you're probably right. If you want to know, PM me.

God! I don't want to imagine how awful I'd look if I didn't dye my hair!
