Thanks, Barely. That's the funniest thing I have read all morning. It would have been nicer to add it fifteen posts ago, but I stopped counting.

Bigdawg, your description of Texas women was spot-on. It's very very strange here.

Edited because y'all continued on while I was typing and now I more more bored by this shit than I was before.

Shit, I do look like Ryan Seacrest. At least I know what I would look like with botox.

We could do breasticle day, I suppose. But we would need to do a passworded locked board, so only the appropriate people could see it. I wonder what it would do to our bandwidth though ;)

Yuppo - my first stab at this post vanished into the ether...

In any event, wasn't the big boobie surgery pioneered in the fine Republic of Texas?

I could swear I saw a 'gripping' tv docudrama about this 'seminal' event in medical history - starring Ross from 'Friends' as a young physician dedicated to the healing arts and the laying on of hands, and of course, as all good docudramas do, featuring truthful and accurate physiological performances by numerous actresses portraying the long-suffering women who blossomed as a result. (would you like some 'whine' with that cheese, monsieur?)

AI qiuestion for those who caught last season
 

PP,

As I've said before, those most prone to make class distinctions are those most uncomfortable with their class status. Phrased otherwise, if you have to blather about class, chances are you don't have it (whatever the hell you define it as, since your definition of class is conveniently fluid enough to change to fit whatever tortured argument you are offering).

I'm just a dumb hick (no Mayflower lineage here) but I've been a member at a few golf courses since I was a kid, and I know which forks to use, etc... I'm qualified to recognize the difference between nouveau/obnoxious and "class," so I'll offer you this observation - your posts do not evidence one who has a reservoir of what the white shoe crowd considers "class." Class is keeping your status in your pocket. I have never heard an old WASP talk like you. To the contrary, I've heard doctor's wives and overextended lawyers' kids ramble on about how "the new money wrecked the neighborhood." I've heard comments like yours among women exiting their leased Benzes at Neiman's or Saks in the King of Prussia Mall or Short Hills. And I've heard those same hollow laments from stupid young brokers and leveraged tech people at the bar in the Breakers. Your comments are all very Boca, but they ain't Palm Beach Proper.

That you made breast implants into a referdum on class underscores my points and leads me to the suspicion that your diatribes on class are deflections of insecurity about your own status. I'd say your comments sound like they were lifted from Yeats or Fitzgerald (two of the the most unabashed unworthy class critics of the 20th century) , but they actually come off more like Bret Easton Ellis.

S(you want judgment, you got it)D

MBA inspired question:
 

What is the big mystery here?

Of course young girls have unrealistic body images. Our beauty ideal is unrealistic. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but every beholder has an opinion about what is perfect. If it's a matter of "the closer to perfect you get, the more beautiful you are," young people (and old people alike) will always have unrealistic body images. And they will always be reaching for what they can't have naturally. Hell, even Hollywood stars don't look the way they are advertised as looking. Surgery, photo manipulation, lighting, etc. helps the most beautiful people in entertainment achieve what we have set up as our ideal. And yes, it is OUR ideal. If it wasn't, people like Heather Graham would be OUT OF WORK. Hollywood doesn't create it. We do. We pay to see the people we think are beautiful.

So, the question is, how do we shift our beauty ideal to something more attainable to the majority of people (including young girls) in this country?

The answer is, you can't. That's why it's the beauty ideal.

If everyone looked like Halle Berry (<sigh>) or Ashley Judd or Julia Roberts or whatever your definition of perfection may be, those looks would be attainable and therefore common. A new beauty ideal would emerge that would be as difficult to attain as the one we have now.

The answer is that people (including these young girls of which you speak) need to deal with it. Sounds harsh, but it's not. How do you deal with it? Parents of kids whose genetic code is set to "ugly" need to stress that what is beautiful to the majority of people and what is held up as an ideal is just that. It's a made-up standard that is unattainable. Help them come to terms with who they are and what about them makes them attractive.

Now, I'm not saying people can't improve themselves. A healthy diet and exercise works for starters. But a firm dose of reality would go a long way for most little girls (boys, adults, etc.).

Thurgreed(if we can accept that not everyone can be brilliant, why is it so hard to accept that not everyone can be beautiful? Shit, yo momma came to terms with both long ago)Marshall

MBA inspired question:
 

Well said.

I guarantee you that if America consisted of waify people and gaining weight was difficult, most of Hollywood would be fat. Our genetic codes are designed to find beauty in uniqueness.

Actually, PP, you don't know any "dirty little secrets," because the folks who would discuss those secrets simply wouldn't converse with your kind, and you know it.

You are entitled to any opinion under the sun, but you aren't entitled to speak on behalf of those who'd never even shake your hand.

By the way, "convo" is sooo '99, and soooo Stamford.

And don't say "I'm just making observations on what I think is class" - what you are really saying is "By an objective standard which I am privileged to know, I have class, and (insert target of ire here) doesn't." You don't get to make that call. You won't admit it here, but you goddamn well its true. Get over yourself.

MBA inspired question:
 

It is amazing the way times have changed. I was specifically concerned with all the eating disorders going around which were bad when I was in school but now we have anorexic celebs. I watch sorority life, when I can remember its on, and marvel how different college kids are now than when I was in college. Like I remmeber the first time I learneed aobut the existence of implants. I was a sophomore in college (!) and was reading some schlock like cosmo and this girlfriend of my roommate said to me that the girl on the cover wasnt real and I was like, huh? She said, you cant be that skinny and have enormous breasts. Nobody in real life does. Which was true. Plenty of skinny anorexics but none with an enormous rack. I think half of the girls in my college went through bulimia, anorexia and a combo of both and I think the impossible standards of mags like cosmo are probably a part of it ( i guess daddy issues are too but I never understood that). Now it seems like a lot more girls in college would want to actually take the drastic steps to be like that. When we were in college, nobody would consider doinga boob surgery. Maybe we might go jogging or to the gym. But, even for the easting disorder people, surgery wouldnt even occur to you.

Now these college girls dont really seem to party, probably bc its fattening and they have to go to the gym. apparently they all know what tit surgery is bc it is so in our face and these ideals are just all over the place. and i bet a bunch of them have actually done it or thought to do it. I bet eating disorders are up a huge amount and they were bad back in my day.

I dont know if this is bv of the explosion of cable, the internet, and the magazine industry or what, but I am definitely glad I am not 18 in these days. And I would worry for my daughter that times are gonna be tough and no matter how grounded my husband and Imight try to raise her, there are a lot of bad outside inflouences looking to prey on her sense of self worth so that she risks her health to achieve an ideal that just cant be acheived without surgery, a personal trainer three hours a day or just plain good luck if you are halle berry. I guess the good news is that the plastic people will never approach the beauty of the naturally endowed bc manmade changes just dont look as real and good; and maybe she can realize that she should work with what she has. Sadly its hard to ingrain that in a teenager.

seems like girls today are now under the impression that if they werent born beautiful on the outside they can make themselves that way through manmade means, rather than accept that they will never be beautiful or learning to love their unique looks. Like with those Italian chicks from MBA= Denise and Jill. They probably used to have mediterranean noses that were probably better suited for their faces. but (insert name of lovely actress or model) has a pert little nose, so these gals went and got prepackaged noses that dont suit them and just make them look off somehow. Its too bad.

MBA inspired question:
 

There are some very good points there. Excellent points. And you managed to not mention class once. Bravo!

But if you are really watching SL, then have you noticed how many obese women are in/pledging the sorority? What do you make of that?

MBA inspired question:
 

Can I make something of it?

I'd wager there is a direct correlation b/w the increase of obesity in this country and the increase of eating disorders. The fatter we get, the more attractive (and unique) skinny becomes...

MBA inspired question:
 

I think the class thing was implicit in the college reference but lets not go there. you apparently are bitter that I think everyone who isnt in the upper crust of the upper crust is a total POS person. Which I don't and I dont know where you are getting that from. but if you want to get personal, take it off the board please. and you never answered the fondue question.

I hav only seen the first two episodes of sorority life this season but caught a great deal of last season where there was one hard partier fwiw, and boy did she catch shit for that. drinking in college! heavents to betsy! i cant remember the girls this season so much but I do recall a fattie in teh sorority who i think was pissed that someone wasnt being nice to her. she probabaly has her own major issues and achieving the unrealistic beauty image ideal proabalby aint one of them.

That's because it's only been clinically approved for nine months. There will be lawsuits. Inject a toxin into someone to kill their nerve cells, and eventually there will be adverse events. It's just a matter of time before the PI lawyers get ahold of botox.

MBA inspired question:
 

What was the fondue question? And my "issue" has nothing to do with off the board stuff (if you said the shit you say on this board IRL, then it might) so why would I take it off board? oh, aside from sparing the board the further agony of this line discussion, of course.

By the way if the "upper crust of the upper crust" is what I think it is, I'm pretty proud to be from the lower crust. I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with SD about something, but he is right-on this morning.

MBA inspired question:
 

I have noticed that my female friends and I are significantly thinner now in our early 30s than we were in our early 20s because the standards of beauty have changed.

In college, everyone seemed to be from a size 6 to a size 10, with little variance at either end. Now, most of us seem to be a size 2/4 or 10/12, with wild variance, especially at the upper end.

I love watching old movies from the late 80s and how comparatively heavy the lead actresses look. Or reruns of Friends.

Yep, right here in the medical center. And I'm pretty sure that our very own John O'Quinn is the most successful breast implant paintiff's attorney.

MBA inspired question:
 

Crust. mmmm. I am hungry. and yeah, i wanted to spare the board. I sort of have a rule if there is a back and forth between myself and one poster that goes for more than say five posts (ideally lower), it should go off board bc everyone is probably getting annoyed. Of course, I probably dont feel like having the convo off board half the time, depending on the person, but with you, fine. But I am also a fan of dropping it.

The fondue question. Has anything changed since what we discussed last weekend? guess my email is sucking

You should be able to get a "day pass" by watching (or ignoring) some ad. Although be careful, I think you have to keep clicking to keep the ad playing, so you can't entirely turn away.

She's likely getting that from your protestations that you don't hate those POS's, and that it's great that they can all aspire to be something more than a POS - that they're not locked into being POS's forever. Just incredibly condescending. Where the fuck is Connetticut anyway?

Just out of curiosity, from whence does your snobbery spring? Is "upper-crust" the rich? Those bred only from the proper anglo-saxon stock? Those with funny eastern accents?

Of course they get them-- but only up to about a B cup, not the professional whore-sized implants.

Big breasts wreck the lines of their wardrobes--couture's not made for women with big breasts.

MBA inspired question:
 

The beauty ideal changes all the time--you can change it, but it has to be collectively. In the meantime, all you can do if diet and exercise doesn't get you there is change your underwear. In the 1920s, flat chests were in (and boyish hips, no indented waist) and full-breasted women bound them flat. By the 1940s, the classic hourglass was in, and women padded up top and nipped in their waists. Major corsets came in with the Dior New Look, an athletic build was in the 80s, anorexic waif crap in the early 90s, and now there's beginning to be a slight backlash to the Skeletor look (as People put it, Lollipop Heads--little stick bodies, huge heads a la Calista Flockhart). Now skinny plus boobs are in so you have to get implants to achieve it w/o adding actual body fat.

It all comes around again. Fashions pass and people get bored.
Either way, the ideal is always unattainable unless your natural bod happens to be in fashion at the time you're young.
