A few days ago, I was talking to a friend of mine who has become concerned about the rapid appearance of little wrinkles around her eye area. She told me she bought some wrinkle cream from a high-end cosmetics brand and after recovering from the price she quoted, she went on to say she would even have cosmetic surgery to “fix” the wrinkles. She asked for my opinion on what she should have done to stem the tide of ageing.
She asked a woman who can’t even be bothered to get rid of her gray, much less bother to put on wrinkle cream on her face.
Anyway, it got me to thinking: what cosmetic surgeries would I consider too much?
So here is the Never List of cosmetic surgeries for moi.
#5– Buttock augmentation
I’m sorry, but if I need a cushion, I’ll just get one from the store.
#4– Ear pinning
Nothing a hat or a good haircut wouldn’t help.
#3– Liposuction
I have seen the “suctioning”. I would rather cut any fat out with a machete than go through that.
#2– Implants for the female upper pectoral area*
It’s not that it’s a bad thing. It’s just that I imagine a 1,000 years from now, some archaeologist will be digging a grave and find these globules and think they are a religious artifact. The sad part being, he would be right.
#1– “Stiletto” surgery
Cutting off the pinkie toe so you can wear stiletto shoes?? Back in the 1400’s it was called torture. Now it’s called fashionable.
I love shoes, but not that much π
*Sorry for the wording, but the pr0n spam would find the blog otherwise!

So tongue bifurcation is on the table?

I was going for normal surgeries. Ugh… π
October 10th, 2013 at 6:27 PM
I watched a television show, where they were using liposuction to remove fat from a patient.
The hamfisted maneuvering reminded me of watching a man cleaning a port-a-potty.
All I could think of was “ouch”. The patient had to be in tremendous pain, when they awoke.
October 10th, 2013 at 6:59 PM
Yeah, pain is one of my biggest deterrents to anything π

October 10th, 2013 at 8:33 PM
Oh, that was easy peasy for me π
October 11th, 2013 at 1:37 PM
Not even gonna take a swing at that ginormously easy beach ball of a set-up… π
October 11th, 2013 at 9:37 PM
I do appreciate that π
October 10th, 2013 at 7:09 PM
Religious artifact… And “pr0n st@r” will be interpreted to mean they were exalted to the heavens and they participated in fertility rituals?
That somehow seems probable.
Stiletto surgery? Seriously… for shoes? Wait until horseshoes become fashionable.
October 10th, 2013 at 8:32 PM
Right on both counts…
October 10th, 2013 at 8:23 PM
Religious artifacts?
I pray to Our Lady of Perpetual Motion IYKWIMAITYD. π

Well, at least it will be easier for them to figure the identitties.

That’s just bad π
October 11th, 2013 at 6:52 AM
βStilettoβ surgery? That’s a new one on me. And here I’d thought I was up on all the latest trends in cosmetic dumbassery. Guess I don’t watch enough reality TV.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:34 AM
Only reason I knew about it was a gal in the PTO was considering getting it done, and asked our opinion. Yeesh…
October 11th, 2013 at 7:53 AM
As a person of a certain age, the term ‘plastic surgery’ meant ‘nose job’. Several years ago a female acquaintance told me, proudly, that she had ‘some work done’. She got all huffy when I searched her face for evidence of work and paid no attention to her female pectoral area.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:34 AM
And that is the worst part: THE BRAGGING.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:21 AM
Used to work with a guy who said he was all for his girlfriend getting some “pectoral work” done, with one stipulation…the additions be added to her shoulder. That way, he said, while they were sitting on the sofa watching TV or a movie or something, he’d have something for his hand to do when he put his arm around her shoulders.
Can’t fault the logic.
October 11th, 2013 at 8:34 AM
Hard to beat that, really π

I would have any cosmetic surgery that would make me happy. I have had a breast reduction and I’m so glad I did, even though it hurt like a mofo. My tatas are magnificent! I would just not have any cosmetic surgery because someone else wanted me to.
October 11th, 2013 at 1:17 PM
Reduction is a Godsend!! And YOU are magnificent!

So we can safely assume that Dolly Parton is not going be looking over her, um, shoulders to see if your pectoral enhancementification is approaching the status of her Himalayan sweater Yetis?
October 11th, 2013 at 9:38 PM
She’s still going strong π

Don’t people realize that there is a shelf life for these procedures? If Nancy Pelosi has another face lift, she’ll look like she is wearing a goatee.

Define “just”. I’m asking for a friend.

“I’m asking for a friend.” Suuuure you are! π

Puglosi’s had so many lift-jobs that her n!pples are already located where her tush dimples used to be. When she wears a bra, it looks like she’s wearing a double fanny-pack under her blouse.
October 11th, 2013 at 9:59 PM
Well, I guess I’m having nightmares tonight….
October 12th, 2013 at 6:11 AM
i’m not a fan of fake parts – some of `our friends have gotten pectoral enhancements; it detracts from their natural beauty. To me it’s a big billboard saying “look at me!! i’m insecure…”
I’m a big proponent of going out with what you came in with (health caveats excepted)…

I’m not against the ear pinning when the poor kid is constantly teased for having Dumbo ears.
I’m against the injected stuff in your face, Restylene or something like that. John Kerry had some work done, and you would think being married to the Heinz fortune, he could afford someone that would do a decent job. The injections are supposed to make you look younger by filling in the wrinkles, and it just made him look puffy.
October 12th, 2013 at 4:08 PM
For a kid, sure. For me, a page bob π
And yes, that Restylane and Juvederm came to mind, too. My mom asked what I thought and I told her that if she was fine with acid-based gels in her face, to go ahead. She glared at me, but decided to keep using Olay instead π

Sorry for off topic, but your Aggie pitcher Michael Wacha just won another playoff game for my Cardinals. I might just have to become an Aggie baseball fan. Iowa State doesn’t have a team any more, so I might as well.
