I am truly and deeply horrified at what women are doing to themselves in the plastic surgery department.
Case 1: Lara Flynn Boyle
She is a beautiful woman. See?

Once again, I am behind. ;) I have had this article for nearly a week, but didn’t want to let it go by if you all haven’t seen it. There are so many spas out there these days that are just plain ol not being run properly, and having procedures done improperly and […]

The process costs about $1,500 and is billed as a permanent way to plump up lips.The most recent advances in lip implants are made of materials such as Gore-Tex and polytetraflourethylene. Gilmore said the implants are inserted […]

This article, from USATODAY.com, Beauty obsession unites divided Venezuela, sure brings to light some debatable topics. Here is a snip:
In Venezuela, beauty isn’t necessarily something you’re born with — it’s a pursuit that has evolved into an industry, a national obsession, a staple of daily life.
Beauty salons and spas outnumber drugstores in Caracas telephone […]
