Booty and the Beast

Remember Oneal Ron Morris? She was the woman charged with impersonating a medical professional and injecting cement into women’s butts.

Well she’s back in the news because she’s facing some new charges.  But that’s not what I want to talk about.  I want to talk about beauty ideals – and just how crazed we’ve all become.

Take a good look at Ms. Morris.  Just where did she get the idea that this is what a woman’s body should look like?

I wish I could say that this is the most horrifying plastic surgery phenomenon I’ve stumbled upon recently. But it’s not.  Last week I taught a class on vaginal rejuvenation surgery, which is a slick way of saying random plastic surgery on a fully functional vagina with absolutely no problems. To make it look prettier.

Sigh. Where do these beauty ideals come from? What is going on?
