I just had to post a link to a controversial fashion shot by Ralph Lauren. The size 4 model, being too fat, was photoshopped. Maybe a touch too heavy on the improving, since she appears to have no pelvis.

Maybe pelvic bones are unfeminine, like unbound feet or natural breasts. The female body, stained with original sin, is never good enough. And watch out, guys, you are a huge untapped market for drugs, cosmetics and surgery. You might have to fight for your wrinkles and thinning hair, if you want to keep the right to show them in public.

There’s a discussion on a nursing forum about shaving places where you would think a sane person wouldn’t want a razor, but I may be a minority view on that.

And where’s the profit in people liking themselves? Think of all the trouble they might get into if they weren’t so busy improving.

I’d have thought Penelope Cruz was as close to perfection as a human could get, but her nose needed some work, apparently.
