WHAT . . . THE . . . HELL

The Tribune ran a story today entitled "Women Urged to Shun Trendy Plastic Surgery." It was under the fold on the front page. I was about to just glance at the article when I read the very short first paragraph. "Issuing a strong warning to women, a prominent physicians' group stated Friday that there is no evidence cosmetic genital surgery is safe or effective."

"Cosmetic genital surgery?" Oh, my coffee almost came up. The surgeries in question are "vaginal rejuvenation," "designer vaginoplasty," "revirgination" and "G-spot amplification." Seriously. And they are not generally talking about women born with an "issue" in that their lives are inhibited in some way, Lucy Mancini style. No, this article is about surgery for purely aesthetic reasons.

Of course, the article does not talk about stuff that would really be interesting. I mean, I know women who have taken a picture of Jennifer Aniston in to their hair-cutter and asked for that cut. I have seen on TV where women bring pictures of someone's nose that is to the model for their new nose. See where I am going with this? I mean, I think the only genitals that are displayed often enough to be models are those of stars, both the Lohan/Spears/Hilton and the porn variety. Do you go in and say give me a Lohan? I'd like a modified Spears but with a Hilton top? Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

P.S. No, I am not posting links to the genital stylings of Lohan, Spears, Hilton, or any "professional" worker in the sex and allied trades. I know I could, but I also know that the entire Internet runs on pictures of this nature, and if you can't find them yourself, I won't help you. It's called google image search, and now I have taught you to fish, rather than giving you a fish.
