Miss Plastic Surgery!

To what level will we sink?

Published on December 13, 2004 By iamheather In Current Events

I have never been overly fond of beauty pageants, but was never truly bothered by them.

Now with the success of shows like The Swan, Extreme Makeover, and Nip and Tuck, we have plastic surgery beauty pageants?!? I know that The Swan does this, but at least they make an attempt to claim these women "need" the help.

Well, China has just created the first award for man-made beauty. Lovely.....

Let's look at history: first lip plates, foot binding, corsets, plastic surgery

What is next? Miss Cloned? Miss Genetically Altered? Miss Hologram? Miss Virtual Reality? Will they create questions to judge her AI?

Where does it end? Will women never be good enough?

I think when all is said and done, the biggest beauty pageant will be a novelty "nostalgia" show called "Miss Real Woman" ;~D

I found the article supremely Ironic! Not because of the plastic surgery aspect, but because of the place! Red China! The last bastion of supposedly everyone equal communism!

Some times it helps just to laugh at the absurdity than to rave about the injustice.

Yes, I found the irony too. I wasn't so much raving about injustice, just dumbfounded.

This is a picture of her at the end? Is there a picture of her before she was plasticized?

My congratulations to her doctor. Afterall, when you look at any sculpture it is the artist who deserves the accolades, since the piece itself did nothing to deserve any.

I don't know. Maybe she was too embarrassed before, ~goes off to do more research~
