Her procedures include much more than just removing the signs of aging, her face was very much altered in the process. <br /><br />Steve, on the other hand, did things to himself without considering the whole picture, so the result is not pleasing. Look at any website with, say, breast augmentation pictures. Sometimes the results are very good. This is when the resulting breast is in harmony to the body. But there are many women who desire breast augmentation and who have in fact perfect breasts, but would need to loose weight around the middle. When the implants are added to the existing bulk, a sort of sea cow is the result. <br /><br />You <b>can</b> look good through plastic surgery, but you have to be able to detach from the aversions you have towards single body parts.<br /><br />But, yes, I agree completely: The real world is full of "ugly" women.Claudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-38129982180441807752008-06-18T22:32:00.000-05:002008-06-18T22:32:00.000-05:00Cyn: MENSA means nothing except that you're part o...Cyn: MENSA means nothing except that you're part of MENSA.

Maybe because I think of reality as attractive and fakeness as ugly. I don't even like highlights nor french manicure, let alone surgeries!<BR/><BR/>It's quite scary that Cindy is part of MENSA. She could get loads of power with her intelligence and use it all against us. If society is already obsessed with looks and pressure, now imagine a Cindy Jackson-ruled society!Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253339797853428930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-10280989348748736872008-06-17T17:52:00.000-05:002008-06-17T17:52:00.000-05:00Why would Harrison Ford "fix" his nose?

I saw a website that, through photoshop, changed different facial traits of celebrities - Owen Wilson's nose, other unique features like that - and to me, at least, it seemed like the changes drained some of the character out of their faces. It's those little things that make their face unique - why does the beauty industry demand that we all look the same?lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-12256095118167860972008-06-16T23:05:00.000-05:002008-06-16T23:05:00.000-05:00After reading these other comments, I see that the...After reading these other comments, I see that they do make some good points.<BR/><BR/>What I would like to know is which gender gets the most plastic surgery, under what kinds of circumstances, and for what reasons.

But she's done it mostly to remove aging signs.<BR/><BR/>A better example to pair her with would be Harrison Ford's most recent nose job. It didn't bob the famous honker, it just straightened it back out from the lop-sided mess it was a few years ago.Angelia Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980408280435868479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-11445141235356071452008-06-16T22:15:00.000-05:002008-06-16T22:15:00.000-05:00What Anonymous suggested, except maybe a little bi...What Anonymous suggested, except maybe a little bit nicer.<BR/><BR/>Really, I can think of dozens of examples offhand of women who have made themselves look fabulously unnatural through plastic surgery, and plenty of men who have come out of plastic surgery looking perfectly normal and handsome. Jocelyn Wildenstein is a bad example for women, and Tom Jones and Bruce Jenner both look fine as men. Sure, you'll always have your Michael Jacksons and whatnot, but well-done cosmetic surgery looks quite fine.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Steve's surgery seems to have been pretty poorly advised and/or planned. His face is incredibly out of proportion. Tiny eyes, permanently pouting lips, and an INSANE cleft chin do not an attractive person make.
