Would you get botox if you were offered it as a gift?
How about plastic surgery?
Check out this article reporting the trend of some brides giving these look altering gifts to their bridesmaid attendants.
Wow. What a gift. A free boob job to be in a wedding.
This is a tricky subject. And of course, altering one's appearance is a highly personal decision.
Still, it saddens me how commonplace plastic surgery has become. And it frightens me to realize how tempting it can be.
11.7 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States in 2007. (surgery.com)
My question:
What would happen if we chose to celebrate diversity in appearance, rather than striving to achieve a uniform look - no wrinkles, small nose, large breasts?
[It reminds me of an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the "beautiful" people are going in to get surgery because everyone is afraid of them. It leads us down the path of how we define beauty.]
