All women are real. I don’t mean to jump the gun, but there, I said it. I’m just so sick of women being separated into two distinct groups, one being “real” and the other “fake.” First of all, it seems downright derogatory to say that any woman is not real. I mean, is she some metaphysical ...
A cosmetic surgery tourism company is selling nip and tuck holidays to people in…Canada. Well, fair enough. Gorgeous Getaways Inc. (yes that’s what they’re really called) have been selling the packages to customers in several other countries for years. Why not sell the same package on home turf? The thing is, I can’t imagine it ...
I enjoy shopping online for clothes because I can find saucy pieces that are normally unattainable from within my petite, redneck community, like the mid-century, blue velvet cocktail dress I bought off eBay that I will never actually wear but I will loyally store in my closet until I die.

Dear Madame X, Last year I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized that I didn’t like what I saw. I’ve had a vampy revamp, including new hair, new clothes and yes, new breasts. I finally feel like the me on the outside fits the me on the inside. So what’s my ...
Breast implants have been declared safe after a two day discussion about the procedure by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hooray! That means we can all go out and buy ourselves an extra cup size or two, right? Wrong. The FDA’s statement of “safety” is misleading, and frankly a bit suspicious. The department’s chief ...
Some women want to get Botox to smooth out their wrinkles and make them look younger. Who cares? Women care. Young women (average age of 19) and older women (average age of 70) think that middle-aged women who get Botox injections are vain, according to a study at the University of Toronto. It seems a ...
Ever had a spare twelve grand lying around and felt perplexed about what to do with it? Look no further because the plastic surgeons of the United States have the answer for you. The perfect butt! And not just any butt — Pippa Middleton’s royal wedding butt. Princess Kate’s little sister has sparked a wave ...
Plastic surgery has always been a little controversial. It started out as a way to actually help people and has become a way to cheat your genes to fit Hollywood’s standards. We have always been asking the same questions: is it okay to make a profit off of someone’s insecurities? Is it okay to tell ...
Samantha Shaw’s very early ear surgery to prevent the possibility of bullying was shocking to many people but it turns out many women who have been bullied because of their physical appearance believe plastic surgery could end their problems. The cosmetic surgery group Liberate surveyed 3,000 British women aged 18 to 30 to evaluate women’s ...
