I live in Florida & we are very image driven. I see a lot of plastioc every where. It isn’t something I would do, mainly because it’s so expensie, & I’d rather spend the money else where, but like Sheryl Crow says,”If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad.”

eh, to each their own, is my feeling. id rather spend my loot on traveling and new clothes and of course, cheap wine.

by the way, your blog was one of the very first ones i started reading, way back when (three years ago, actually). it was actually you who inspired me to start up writing one of my own, and i just wanted to stop by and say thank you. thanks for always writing thought provoking posts. for writing authentically, for making me laugh, and for sharing yourself with the blog world.

I’ve had plastic surgery. But then, I’m also from Venezuela and here everyone either has had something (most have had many things retouched) done or are planning to do so in the near future. You could say people here have their priorities slightly askew, but here the importance of looks is very embedded in the culture. So do I judge? Absolutely not.

Eh, for me personally, I would never voluntarily put myself under the knife unless I was ill.

personally? I'm 21 and when I was 19 I weighed 120 pounds but had 34 FF boobs. yes-- FF. not a typo. So I had a breast reduction, covered fully by insurance, where they took off EIGHT POUNDS, still leaving me at a full C (just to give a heads up on how heavy on my back they really were) and was actually criticized a LOT by female friends of mine who were jealous for god knows what reasons.

I think the surgery all applies on the circumstance.
