A Rant Deferred

So I'm halfway through a rant about two women who are asking for handouts for free boob jobs, when I realize that it's just not going to work as a rant. Lauren is a young woman who wants you to give her money so that she can get breast implants. Unfortunately, Michel beat her to that idea. It's just not going to work as a rant because while Michel was a spoiled brat of a woman who wanted money because she was so awesome, Lauren actually has some content on her damned site.

Instead, I'm going to turn this into a rant about plastic surgeons. I'm conflicted about plastic surgery. Here is an LA Times article about women who are insecure about the look of their vulvas http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-rejuvenate13mar13,0,517673.story. Since this is an LA times article and will eventually become available only via subscription, I will summarize: some women are insecure about the look of their vulvas, and will pay to have them look different, more like a porn star's. I can understand helping women in their quest to become more secure about themselves, but really! No one cares what a woman looks like down there, as long as she doesn't have teeth. And another thing: Why can implants be put in without a scar, but a breast reduction still leaves gigantic scars?

Not all things plastic surgeons do are questionable. Operation Smile is dedicated to providing free surgery to youth with facial deformities. Michel for her boob job, but if you're thinking about giving Lauren some money, donate to Operation Smile instead. They could use it more.
