Seeking perfection

So just how many of us are contented with our bulging tummies, thunder thighs, crow’s feet, flabby arms and love handles?

Exactly, none of us!

In the 1950’s voluptuous bodies were thought to be sexy and acceptable, and then came the first dreaded advertising campaign- the start of body consciousness. Marketers took this advantage to promote thin being beautiful and 40 years later we are still striving for that perfect body.

But what exactly is a perfect body? Tell any woman she’s not fat and she would smile at you in disbelief.

What has affected our esteem? Cosmetic companies, slimming companies, couture dresses everything is marketed to tell you, you are not pretty enough and you could lose that extra 5 lbs.

Luckily what God cannot give you, a doctor can. Women are resorting to various treatments and surgeries just to stay young and fabulous, but can we actually turn the clock against aging? Well, if you make obscene amount of money like Angelina Jolie, you can I guess

But where does this take us then? The condition Body Dysmorphic Disorder is diagnosed as a person who is excessively concerned by an imagined or minor defect and ultimately becomes addicted to plastic surgery like the case of the Korean woman so obsessed with plastic surgery she injected herself with cooking oil when she couldn’t afford anymore surgery

Where would vanity take you? In London, you can get a bull sperm hair treatment and that’s not bullocks ladies, the Japanese Uguisu made out of nightingale excrement is gaining popularity in spas in NY and Bioforskning a Norwegian company uses spermine in their facial treatment.

Let’s get real, when I say I wanna get down and dirty I don’t mean having jizz all over my face.

Look its bad enough we have low self esteem when we see stick thin androgynous models strut themselves in Gucci dresses, do we need to further add insult to injury by applying poop and cum on our faces to feel good.

Wake up women!!!

  3. i agree to what you said up there but wondering why you left out those 30 minutes that you can spend in a pool or gym on all alternative days. i am not fantasizing a "stick thin androgynous model" but unfortunately "bulging tummies, thunder thighs, crow’s feet, flabby arms and love handles" doesn't melt my butter.

  4. Well i am highlighting the extreme measures women take to look good. Sure hitting the gym and pool will help in maintaining a fab figure but certainty doesn't help with a nose job or breast enlargement. Was speaking to a friend who was also a doctor yest and she said cosmetic surgeries are the most lucrative business around. Its estimated to be worth $20 billion in US and India $110 million and still growing!

  5. Ah, i see your point except - breast enlargement: may not be good idea physiologically but it does count to certain men. hard reality of life is - there is a difference between a mouthful and a handful, at least i believe so.
