Honestly though I would enjoy high heels going out of fashion more than fake breast or behinds, I really don't care much about plastic surgery as many people are still against it, but high heels...most people think women must wear them, they have to be the stupidest invention ever! Every time I see women in those torture machines I wish I could do time traveling.

Pear, I'm sorry my friend but those of us in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. We are just as guilty as they are. We damage our feet with ridiculous high heels in the name of beauty or fashion.
I'm just hopin' Pear will come back and brag about her big naturals some more.

Haha..I wasn't bragging, Sobe. I guess I have cooled off some. I don't know whats worse, breast and butt implants or rib removal (circa the 1950s).

It all creeps me out and its disappointing that so many of my peers feel the need to do these things. Yes, there is social pressure for women to be perfect but can't we just be happy with what we were born with and make the best of it?

I think it boils down to a craving to increase their sexual power. Whether that's driven by vanity, insecurity, or lust for power, just plain lust or some combination of any/all of these I think is subjective to the individual. Since you were born with all the assets, you have never experienced the craving of those who are deficit.

It creeps you out because it looks to you like a mad world gone wild. And you're right - it is.

So the only question is - what do you do about it?

Is it vanity to workout and drink protein shakes to get big muscles?

You can workout to be healthy, but once you do it thinking on getting a sexy muscular looking body... is that vanity?

One might think that a muscular body is the result of going to the gym... but you can be healthy by just running and doing aerobics... But doing weights goes beyond the mentality of just being healthy, at that point you are trying to accomplish something else..............................????

Why are people so concerned with what other people want to do with their bodies is my question.

I would never get a butt augmentation but I don't spend time worrying about other people who do. Just not for me. Each to his or her own.

Sure it's vanity...but it's that person's money and that person's body. Same reason why people wear makeup, or try to cultivate six packs...not for their health.

Breast augmentation has the highest satisfaction rate post op of any cosmetic procedure, so the consequences on the whole must not be too dire.

Love my cohesive gels. Best money I ever spent and if you ask 100 girls who did it, 98 of them would say the same.

Have to agree with the heels... Dumbest thing ever to be wearing all day and now women are adding it to their height. "Well Im 5'5" but in heels Im 6' so I need a 6'5" man". Women have no idea the average height of a man is 5'9".

They should only be worn in the bedroom!

All I can say is thank god I have fat feet because I would drop some serious coin on LB's. My ex used to say the same thing, lol
