Well, if botox wasn't enough, now women are injecting this gel into themselves. Has anyone ever had that kind of cosmetic enhancement?

http://www.local6.com/health/3273213/detail.html

surgically implant a tail on themselves!

Ew! Too gross for words!

just joshing

make me a reaaaaal man!

Good Lord! That's nasty!

i didnt think that was any grosser than botox....same thing....actually sounds a bit better.....am i missing something?

Indeed. According to the article, it's an improvement compared to botox.

Fake things injected into your body to make you look better makes me sick.

Natural women are much hotter in my opinion, if I wanted a plastic Barbie Doll I could go to the store.

Blow up Suzy works wonders

Nah, Inflatable Sally works even better...I mean, NO I WOULD NEVER HAV?E ONE OF THOSE.

who would, the outrageous audacity

I dunno, except for Bud Bundy on Married With Children.

wHAT THA?

wonder waht girls are gonna do in future

I would never put myself through anything like that..or any surgery for that matter, god made me the way i am..and if people don't like me for me,then it's their problem, i'm happy the way i look, so i would never spend money on something that could make me look worse, or kill me even..No thanks..i'll stay natural.

nope, not vanity I'm afraid

but from my experience (over here that is), no one cares about the beauty-magazines and act and look how they want and not how others say they should

than on the other hand... lots of people here are little sheep and just follow what others do

this all didn't made much sense huh?

Sure it did.

It IS quite scary what people, women in particular, feel they need to do to themselves in order to be forever young and beautifull. There's currently a program showing where the first prize is a cosmetic surgery. The attitude towards this kind of surgery seems to have changed from being something rather dangerous and taboo to a first prize in a tv-show. It seems to become more commonly accepted.

hmm, comes from the show Extreme Make-over, and we have a version of it as well

Why do women always think that the world is trying to presure them into looking young and forever beautiful??? The only real people out to corrupt the minds of women young and old into buying these products/injections/implants are the cosmetics people. They are just looking for a uick buck so they try to get women to believe they are ugly, even when they are not.

If you ask most guys what their opinion of what a real woman is, they will tell you more around an average looking woman, no one actually wants that anorexic swimsuit model. At least that's what I think.

The models are always butt ugly in my opinion, I would much rather have a woman with some meat on her bones, rather than a woman who eats nothing but leafs and then throws it up anyways. Also the idea of bigger breasts as being better is completely wrong in my opinion. The better ones are more of an average sized, and REAL!

Then the women with botox injecions in their lips look like they just got socked in the mouth with a fist and it's puffed up, not something that is attractive.

The more real a person is, the better they are in my eyes.

Sick sh!t. I'm a girl myself but, ever since I was little and was old enough to choose my own clothes to wear and dress myself I was never a girlie girl. Almost all my life I've shopped in the guy section, don't play around with my hair for hours on end and never wore makeup but mascera and black eyeliner. I think there's no point for caring as much about your hair as many girls do and I think make-up hides your real buety that is on the outside and makes you look fake. I've always wondered why do so many girls try to look TOO good on the outside? Yes, outside beauty is important to many people but what matters most is the beauty within you. So why all the products and crap to try and make yourself look better when you have your own uniqe beauty inside and out without the powdered mask and other things?

Lance: You say that the only people who put a pressure on women to look young and gourgeous are the ones from the cosmetic industry. Well, those guys ARE pretty powerfull! They have comecials every where, posters every where, etc. etc. Where ever you go, there'll be a model staring sulkily at you, skinny as hell, perfect to the smallest detail.
Then there's the media, films, commercials; normal sized women, women with unclean skin, oversized women, women with big noses and long breasts, they just don't exist on screen! They don't exist in commercials. They don't exist on TV. So yes, if women feel there's a pressure on them to forever look their best, it's not all in their minds. I'm happy to hear your oppinion on looks. I've heard several men say the same, and that's brilliant. But these industries just yell a bit louder than you guys.
Of course that doesn't mean we should just lie down and whimper.

Yerssot: same program. Only here, they didn't bother making a Danish version, they simply just use the American one. ( naive as I am, it makes me hope that it's because the Tv-station might have a tiny bit of moral left and that no one would participate - probably has more to do with money, though ...)

isn't it that they get the treatment for free?

I actually don't know ... Don't think the tv-company pays? Good point though.

well, someone has to pay the docs
I've never really watched it

Me neither. Looks too painful ...

yeah, that's what they said in a promo once "I don't know if the pain is worth the result"
(my thoughts were: than you shouldn't have done it)

Exactly ... they look like live mumies, beaten to half past death
Seriously scary. Should be rated.

I think it is overhere

if you got something cause of lets say burnwounds, sure, go ahead, but to make a tvshow about people who only want better looks... no thanks

Had the same thought. Some of these people are perfectly normal looking, actually I dare say some of them are rather charming. When they come out, they look like everyone else. If only they actually helped someone who were so badly misshapen, burned, etc. that they had troubles leading a normal life, that would be perfectly understandable. In stead they pick people, who don't need surgery but some therapy against low self esteem.

it's all to get ratings, I'm afraid

seriously, we have a center here that treats fire-victims, but the doctors are on strike cause of the director, if that show could just show a bit of heart and got the doctors they use on the show to help out the victims there, to start giving them a new live, I would respect that show ... a little bit

Wow, I just realized something. I haven't watched TV for a month.

"you've taken a first step into a bigger world"

Doubt that kind of people'll ever get a heart. Besides, they'll probably never choose someone they can't turn into a beauty. I think I heard them say so, actually, that they only pick those who'll turn out best. Bastards.

I doubt it will hurt them if they just did ONE episode about fire-victims, just one per season or something, that would help already, hey, they can even make a HUGE show about it for all I care, they would finally do something good

Brace yourself, I'm about to agree with you again.

*falls of chair*
darn my old reflexes, I'm not that fast as I used to be

*puts big, soft pillow next to Yerssots chair*
can't be too carefull with those old bones ...

you're a tad late dear, I fell already ... and to the wrong side of the chair

You'll just have to plan your fall better next time, sweets! Can't think of everything for you!

but I'm old and weak

but it's very nice of you to place that pillow there *hugs*

*gets all soft around the heart and awkwardly pats Yers' back* There there, you're welcome ...

hmmm, glad I didn't pinched your cheek than
I'll fall softly next time!

I would have slapped you then!

Do that, course I'm out of pillows ...

suddenly I'm happy the thought never crossed my mind
*makes note never to think of that*

ow you can have your pillows back

It DID cross your mind, just be happy you were slow - as usual

Na, that's all right. I don't sleep with a pillow anyway, you can keep it. Pink suits you.

you see right through me, line, it's scary

you don't? oj, doesn't that hurt your neck in the morning?
I know girlfriend! *snap snap* I'm gonna dye my hair p!nk too

Indeed. Being able to see through you IS sort of scary

Nope!! It feels great!! It's only when I'm using the pillow my neck starts to screach.

Nonononono!!! There you see!!! I'm sure it's the influence you get from James Bond and Friends!!! It's gonna clash horribly with the pillow!!!

or perhaps it was a plan to make you get scary

well, I believe you on your word, not gonna try it cause it looks painful already just to think of it no pillow... where has the world gone to

oh don't worry, it will be great! I can spill my wodka-martini on it too

*sighs* weren't you the one going on about WOMEN being complicated?

I won't interfere in your pillow-relationship, but I WILL do something drastic if you turn up with pink hair!!!!

oh, they very much are! but than again, when you're 120 you tend to get a bit complicated due to stressfull life and such

that's great, cause I have a very nice pillow here and I look forward to sleeping ... something drastic? considering you slap people for pinching cheeks, I don't want to find out, I like my head where it is now

You've had a stressfull life?? Come off it!!

Okay okay, I might have been a bit hasty on the entire slapping matter. It all depends on how hard you would have pinched, and it would probably be more of a reflex than a well considered action.
But then again, I could be wrong, so don't go dye your hair!!!

yeah, 120 years old, born in 1884... two world wars and all, it eats you

I never pinch hard that the cheek actually falls off just a friendly one
I won't dye them ... yet

Did you do your bit of fighting during the wars?? Or were you sitting in front of you computer, like now?

I'm not sure I ever want you to pinch my cheek, okay?

You'd better not ever, old man!!

the first one yes, 30 years old, but I was 61 during the second one
and there weren't any computers out yet ... I read books

I won't
there isn't much hair on my head anyway ... perhaps I need a wig

I'm all for the wig!!!

I'll take one with short hair, guys don't look that good with long most of the time

OR with pink hair, for that matter

nor blue I take

Right you are! So I AM getting through, am I? No more dying?

no more partypooper

I prefer style saver

it's undeniable ... I have no taste

Oh, c'mon!! I'm sure it's not that bad ...??

I wanted my hair pink remember

So did I - when I was younger, that is Don't worry, I'll help you grow up

about time someone offered me some help, thank you

Any time Where do you wanna start? And how much can you pay?

where to start? you should know
I can pay you in chocolate

Okay then. But no marzipan!

Well, you're my first long distance, never-seen-before patient, so you'll have to start by opening up and really get to tell me what you want from these sessions.

of course not, chocolate only, promise

ah, I see you're an expert in it
well, growing up mentally?

I want a hand shake on that!

Okay. Nice place to start. First of all, I think we might need to talk about jars. How do you feel about jars? And for how long can they keep you amused?

sure *happily shakes hand* there ya go

oooh! I love jars! absolutely! one can keep me interested in them for more than a month! they're so great!

*stares crest fallen at patient*
*stares*
*stares*

I see ... this really is pretty serious.
Let's start with something easier.

Shoe laces?

wooow! don't get me started on that! they are even better than jars! you can tie things, throw it, ...

Okay okay okay!!! Stop!!
Phew!! This is pretty bad, Yerssot, you do know that, right? We might have to replace some of your chocolate with some very heavy medicine!

again? but I haven't stopped taking the green pills yet

You can keep the green pills, no worries, and then I can give you some blue and pink ones so you won't have to feel bad about not dying your hair. What do you say??

great! the more pills the happier I will be, right?

Of course! That's the entire idea! And today's a special offer; with your pills you get this free t-shirt, which is not really a t-shirt, but has these funny long arms that goes all the way round ...

oooh! that t-shirt sounds really great! I wantsssss it

I'll get one for you next time I'll see you. Till then, be a good boy and take your pills, 'kay?? Nighty night!

but I want the t-shirt now

Here you are, then! Just arrived from the manufacturer! How are the pills working?

they don't taste nice

Oh ...
And you do look more sad ...
What if you got some chocolate flavoured ones?

I would devour them

Thought so Here's some! And the blue one's got marzipan inside.

but than I can't share that one with you

You wanna share??? Now you get me all soft again -
hmmm ... guess I could take the chocolate-coating, and you could get the marzipan ... would that work?

it would be splendid
*offers the chocolate*

Thanks!

Guess I'm not the best therapist after all, being on medication myself and all ...

but you're doing an excellent job nonetheless

erm... this is the part where I would hug you... considering you slapped me for less already, I won't

Oh, thank you!! You're not too bad at being a patient either

I never slapped you! I just warned you I'd do it if you pinched me! Tut tut, old man, you're getting senile

I got experience in being a mental patient

hmm, guess I need pills for that too already

I can feel that. You're very professional indeed

Weren't that the green pills?

I was even trying to get into an expensive hospital where they would pay me but it didn't work out

thought that were the yellow ones?

An expensive hospital? but ... doesn't that mean that you're the one who pays?

Yellow pills!!??!! I need to have a chat with your old doc, this is getting out of hand!!

nono, I was the nut they had to examine, they pay ya for it

what is? you don't like yellow?

Really? What did they examine you for then?

Not really. Yellow makes me look pale and now it's become a fashion color I fear what that color might do to you if you invite it inside your body, course it sure does enough damage on the outside already.

for being an immature nutcase

well, perhaps when you have yellow you have to tan first

Not a particularly special case then.

True. I just find tanning sort of scary. Like being locked inside a brightly lit coffin which is gonna cremate you or something I prefer the beach

oh, it was, cause I'm fully nut

I actually ment the natural way of tanning I dislike that other one (talking about others doing it, never did it myself)

Don't believe that! *strokes Yers's cheek fondly* It's just the chocolate thing ... and the meter thing ... and the apron thing ... and the ladies clothes thing ... except that, you seem perfectly normal to me

AND it would be bad for your male ego, wouldn't it? ( talking about tanning)

I tan, in small doses that is

see! told them too I'm pretty normal!

oh, tanning can be good veeeery good but just bad if it's in the winter

Silver tears: It does look good. I wish i had the courage (and the money )

Yerssot: why bad in the winther?

It's quite cheap here, and I just build a base tan, than hit the beach

Beach's the best. All those guys in shorts, they don't have them in the tanning-shops

cause I just have something against people look suntanned when it's snowing outside

not yet at least
and yerss, how about people who travel to like florida or whatever
they're tanned when it's snowing

Remember me telling you it did't exist in a Danish version? Well, those days are over now. They are just about to launch it. Very depressing indeed.

last time i went to the beach i came back like a ******

that's a shame to hear Line
guess the days were most danish women were still pure is now definitly over

Gone with the wind ...

And frankly my dear you do give a damn

I do ... it hurts so bad

you can sign in the program to get the hurting away

Think it's got the complete different effect ...

than you can sue them and they'll be forced to stop the show

But by then they'll have stung me with huge metal-thingies and broken my nose and cut my chest up and sewn my forhead and ...
no, I'm not brave enough, there must be another way. There must!

What's the matter colonel Line? chicken?

I won't allow that to happen

Who? Me?? Of course not, don't like yellow, remember??

What won't you allow?

woman will soon grow stronger muscles, thanx to testing with a stronger
immune for P.M.S....by then they will hulk out every month

no, not you, the other Line behind you wow, you must hate the smileys

that those cosmetic shows would hurt you

Oh THAT bugger - keeps lurking around behind me, a real drag I don't hate, I only dislike (stupid, silly little things ...)

It's enevitable, Yerss. You can't fight evil in it's purest form

nasty bugger I think you must dislike these smileys

really? Well, I eat evil for breakfast *gets out knife and fork*

i'm not really sure what this thread is about but we girls like to do the unexpected...

well, at least i do...

I do Luckily, there's a bit of black in them, which makes it bearable ...

You eat everything, Yerss *passes the salt*

Jedi: It's about what women'll do for looks. Operations, make up, etc. The entire beauty ideals. At least, that's what we used to discuss ...

lets find a totally yellow one

yeah, especially bad things that way girls should know that they shouldn't do operations

No! No totally yellow ones!

I've got a very bad assignment just begging to be eaten!! You hungry?
Why?? Course you'll ... eat them??

definitly total yellow ones

you need to ask? I'm always hungry
no, I'll eat the show

You try, mister, you try!! *waves hand threatingly*

Finally your inhuman mouth can be used to serve the better good of mankind Do get started!

*waves back* I only fail when I stop trying

great! ... erm... which mouth of the three are you refering to now?

*figures out she probably won't win a fist fight and runs of to hide all totally yellow smilies*

The one that can open the widest and is connected to the stomach that can digest even crap like that

you can run but you'll just see yellow smileys while being tired

well, I think all three want to give it a shot to burry that show

Not at all! The smilies in my mind are - pink!!

Remember a mouthspray, then, that show is bound to give you bad breath ....

do they have hair too

I'll use extra mint

No. And even if they had, it wouldn't be pink -sorry

Do that! Or no one'll be left in this forum

but blue, right?

that's good right?

Nope! Completely bald are they!

Eh .. No. And they probably won't try to hide in the JB-forum, so don't even think about it ...

I'll give them some hair then

no one wants to hide there, that's why I spam about it in my sig

you gonna donate some??

so there's actually an idea behind the nuisance!! ... brainwash

no, I'll paint them myself

it's what raz is doing to us for some time already, ... djee, some girls are slow on the uptake (just saying it for the topic)

Well ... as long as it's not gonna be yellow ...

Weren't you the one going on about me not being slow?? You guys can be so confusing (just saying it for the offtopic )

blue or pink probably

I just said it to stay on topic I don't think you're slow well, guess the next girls should do is understand guys

why did I even ask ...

Is that all ?? Dunno Yerss ... it's getting late. I'm sleepy. Can the understanding wait a bit?

cause you weren't sure

of course, they are normaly strick on topics here well, perhaps you should go to sleep?
