I do spend a good deal of my time sweating my a@# off at the gym to try and fight aging. At least I hope I am sweating my a@# off, otherwise what is the point?

A chin!! (As you can see, I know how you feel.) Anyway, whenever I get in for surgery, I will be sure to blog all about it, and you can get an idea of what it's like. You know, just in case you decide to take the plunge.

I dislike my profile. But I don't think about it much unless I see a photo of myself side-to. Surgery? No. I hate doctors, I hate hospitals. I'm only doing that when I have to. For somebody else, if it helps them feel comfortable in their skin? Go ahead, I say. I sorta think a person should try some therapy before going under the knife, though. But, again, I hate doctors! :) "Sophia said she might do something for her laugh lines. I didn’t even know this bothered her. Until she pointed it out, I didn’t even notice it." This part of your post reminded me of a short story by Pearl S. Buck. I can't remember the title! When I get home, I'll look for it. Anyway, it's my favorite description of the "blindness" of love, how different and important looks can be for us women, compared to menfolks. It's good. A little dated, but the emotion is there...

I still can't get over the fact that 18 year old girls get boob jobs. I’m also afraid that normal looking people will be the freaks and the generic cosmetically enhanced look will be the norm.

I just pat their guide dogs nicely on the head and thank them. You and Sophia look great as you are ... dont change! I am lucky and a lot of people still mistake me for 25, despite being 36.

Its a real problem for her and it almost cripples her. Cries all the time is what she does. Her husband and she decided she was going to have a reduction. She had her reduction and came to the show. Not because she was from the pannel who thought PS was great, no. She came to cry about the surgeon having reduced too much and how now she has a 14 years old breasts. Her husband and she decided she was going to have implants. I think it was supposed to be sad but man on man did I laugh! She's going to pay her breasts back is what I kept thinking! Do you trust people who keep telling you they like you the way you are? Fitèna PS: Dear Neil, please have Sophia DHL me her red white dotted hat below!
