It's something that has annoyed me for years and I'm wondering if it's over yet.

The botox thing isn't that noticeable (mainly), but the collagen lip thing really turns my guts, most of the time they look like they've been punched in the mouth.

Personally, I'd like to see the back of it on tv/movies, anyone else of the same opinion?


(I can envision a world where there's a small enclave of California in which the most freakish babies are born (you know, the ones that used to be left to the wolves, or dropped off a cliff?), and immediately enter surgery to fix their faces before the parents even see the abominations they have created.)


(That's a bit harsh in all honesty, but honesty isn't exactly what they are into, is it? )

Can't see the point in all this body changing stuff.  Nothing wrong with my body, I have had no complaints.

Don't go in for the skinny look either - I like meat with my tatties.

Same: need some grippage. 


There's something else though, and it might sound a tad controversial, but when I see excessively skinny women it reminds me of the corpses we've seen thrown into lime pits during the nazi holocaust on all those old war documentaries.
It's not an image that's easy to shake.

I think skinny girls look malnurished. IMHO the "skinny" super models are the worst. In most cases it isn't normal to be that skinny; a lot of them have eating disorders or use drugs and unhealthy diets to obtain that waift of a person look. Our children see them basking in the fashion spot light and think that is what "beautiful" is. It is no wonder there are so many teen girls with eating disorders and self-esteem problems.

I have a friend who is a Doctor, she used to be a Doctor who specialised in stomch problems.  One of the tasks she had was removing worms from Fashion Models who were either retiring or who had some complication from the worms.  She told me that the models purposely injest the worms in a piece of meat.  That way they get to eat as much as they like and as often as they like but don't have to worry about gainig weight.

Bloody dangerous and stupid if you ask me.

Their arses much constantly itch   

[mouse007]

Why do you think they walk like they have a stick up their arse???!!

[Wooster]

 

That must be the secret of the 'model walk' where they try to scratch their arses using both bum cheeks.

I thought you UK'rs loved a stiff upper lip 

[Wooster]

Public School mythology I think.

That stiff upper lip has probably caused countless pointless deaths over the years.

"But the men will be cut down by the German machine gun emplacements if we just walk towards them!"
"What utter rot Captain, the stiff upper lip of the British Tommy will win the day, you can be assured of that, what!"

Personally I would love to have a fuller pout but no way would I do that to myself - too scared of needles for a start, lol.  Besides Rebecca would happily slap me on the mouth with a frying pan and give me the look for free .

Leslie Ash was a lovely looking woman and it all went wrong for her.  Kylie is a pretty woman but she has overdone it in recent years - she is 40 and doesn't have a line on her face.  I think the danger in getting work done on youself is you can easily become addicted to it. 

As for Kate Moss who I never could stand anyway, her last comments were totally irresponsible to any teenagers looking up to her.  "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" apparently!!  To me the likes of Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson who had figures were far prettier than Kate Moss but it's all down to personal taste.  The fashion houses have a lot to answer for.  It' the same with airbrushing pics, that pisses me off too.

On a subject matter like this we could all agree 

Let's put it more plain, what would you rather have:
