I recently watched a movie on Netflix, a late 70's thriller - The Eyes of Laura Mars. The plot revolves around a fashion/art photographer. There are many topless models lounging about and I was struck by all the real breasts. Big ones and small ones, all beautiful in their own way. Actual breasts instead of un-natural, overly round bags of silicon. Actual lips instead of puffy trout pouts. Actual hips and bellies never touched by a liposuction wand. Actual yellowed teeth instead of bleached white perfection. It got me thinking how if that same movie was being made today I doubt that I would have seen even a single pair of real breasts or lips or hips. Cosmetic procedures are warping our sense of what is normal.

Plastic surgery would be more palatable if it weren't so darn obvious.

Haven't met a pair of fake boobs that I couldn't tell were fake right off the bat.

what is so funny is I wonder how many of the naysaying men subscribe to magazines like playboy or penthouse, maybe flip through a Victorias secret catalog or SI swimsuit magazine...

I'd show you my wifes but CD might not appreciate. Hers are beautiful and very natural, you would never know they are not 100% hers. I do believe that women who start out small and go up to a medium size probably look the best.

Where many women mess up is they have them enlarged too big and they get them done by the guy who quotes the cheapest price. What most people see are the typical stripper boobs which do look fake most of the time. They don't have have any jiggle or bounce.

Actually I think it started with photo techniques.

Photographer X found out that blonde hair showed up better on black and white film (The Marilyn Monroe case by some accounts)... people liked the photo, they tried to emulate it.

Now that Photoshop can be used to perfect any given line on a person, same thing, only to an even more stringent artistically derived standard.

C'mon even before all that, we can look at people and tell (in general) who's going to get the girls' or guys' attention.

However, what mass media did was twofold. 1) To make images of perfection more ubiquitous. 2) To manipulate those images to possibly surrealistic values.

Advertizing is the same way, right? Never any water spots on the Corvette in the advertizing brochure, LOL!

I have seen women in Vegas with boobs so fake, and tight that they SHINE. It's creepy. What if guys had scrote implants the size of basketballs ? We women would laugh our heads off.

I have seen some women who have had facial cosmetic surgery, and they look a lot better. Men, too, eliminated jowls, and turkey necks. Is there some kind of martyr prize for keeping flap wattles,and sags, deep lines, drooping eyelids ?
