Hair: Sleeker and stronger, if possible. Which it isn’t, really.
Eyes: Perfect eyesight. I don’t have the money for LASIK, and to be honest, the idea of shaving off parts of my eye icks me out somewhat.
Teeth: Maybe slightly straighter, but mustn’t be perfect teeth (I hate perfect teeth). Could do with having lower wisdom teeth out, perhaps. In fact, there’s nothing desperately needed on the teeth front.
Breasts: Since losing weight, they’re back from a 38B to a 36A. Before I gained weight in the first place they were a fairly pert if flat 34A. Now, they’re small, saggy loose underfilled flaps that can be taken between thumb and forefinger. They are ugly and I hate them. I’d hate to have implants, so I guess I’m stuck with them. I’m still glad I lost weight for health reasons.
Toned arms: Working on it.
Longer legs: Not really possible. I do wish I had a shorter torso and longer legs.
Hmmm…I’m pretty happy with myself overall, but given the chance:
-
I have great hair. Very, very thick and alot of it (think Labrodor Retreiver). BUT, I’d get rid of the gray that is slowly taking over. My wife says it makes me look distinguished. I tell her she’s supposed to say that.
-
My face is pretty good, but I’ve always wanted a little more pronounced chin. Chin implants are that expensive and I’m giving serioius consideration to having it done. If I watch what I eat I can keep the squirrel cheeks away.
-
In addition to having a good head of hair, I’ve got alot of body hair (see the 2004 Beefcake/Cheesecake Calendar for details). It, too, is slowly going gray. I want my black chest hair back.
-
The stomach is fine, thanks.
-
No problem with the size of my equipment. It does just what I need it to do.
-
My legs are short. I’d add 3 inches to my leg length.
-
Good feet.
-
No complaints with my arms or hands (well, I’d get my finger fixed - I can point round corners because my finger was broken and never set).
All in all, I’m pretty satisfied.
Mentally: I’d like to be able to remember people’s names.
Exterior: I’m constantly changing my hair color so I’ll just stick with the original since it’s easy to color. Perfect vision, I’ll take. I’ll also echo FCM in saying that I’d like my size to be back in the single digits. I’d also like to be more toned. Whiter teeth. Other than that, I’m happy with my physical appearance on most days.
Except for the knobby knees.
Interior: I’d like the brain cells that I baked or drank away to come back. I miss you all so much! Better lung capacity. Sinuses begone! And take my left ovary with you!
Actually, doing this exercise has made me realize that I’d rather not be perfect. I have a few idiosyncracies that I like, for instance, my crooked nose and hammer toe. I also have some features that are just perfect the way they are. I have been blessed beyond belief with great skin and hair, the T & A aren’t bad either.
Strange that while this may have started out as a nitpicking masochistic excercise, it actually boosted my self-esteem. Cool!
Except for the knobby knees, of course.
I agree with you about the Stacy and Clinton, but I would love a consult from Carmandy and a haircut from Nick. Carmandy’s makeup applications are very subtle and tasteful. Even though I’ve been doing my own makeup for the last 20 years, I’ve never been confident that I’m doing the right things.
As for Nick, he always does something to hair that seems to fit with the person’s lifestyle/personality. I have a bad thyroid and my hair is SO dry and brittle. It used to be curly and shiny.
Damn! When I started on 50 mcg, I was waking up drenched in sweat for two weeks straight. I had to wash the sheets every evening before bed.
Opalcat, I’m so with you on the boob thing. I have A cup filling in C cup skin. I was in a whirlpool tub recently and all of my extra skin made me look like I was a bunch of dumplings in a giant pot of boiling water. :eek:
I’d be about 3" taller.
I’d have hair only where I want it.
I’d be more muscular in general.
I’d have a stronger jawline, and more prominent cheekbones.
I’d be able to tan.
Whiter teeth.
Bigger shvantz.
My wife tells me all of the above are fine. But she would, wouldn’t she.
nose: Smaller would be nice…so would making it not slightly crooked.
right ankle: crackles and pops, making running painfull, fixing that would be swell.
skin: so oily, it’s surprising that GWB doesn’t own stock in me.
back: is slightly crooked, scoliosis I beleive it’s called.
hernia: keep re-injuring it if I’m not careful…such a pain. I’d love it if it would go away premanently and not trying to re-open every few years.
Besides the above, I want to be able to see in the infra-red, see electric feilds, and have a math-coprocessor installed in my head. Zoom lenses in my eyes with the ability to take photos would help me paint as well.
Given that I would never go under the knife for my own vanity…well, heck, I still can think about it. My to-do list (sans limitations of what’s possible, financially or otherwise) would include the following:[ul]
[li] Hair: Thicker, stronger. I have pretty thin hair that looks good with the right cut, but I’d like to be able to do more with my hair.[/li][li] Skin: I’d like the skin on my face to be less oily and to do away with any acne and scarring from said acne.[/li][li] Eyes: I wear eyeglasses, but don’t need to in every situation. I think I’d just like a guarantee that my eyesight won’t get worse.[/li][li] Teeth: Straightened, whitened, the works.[/li][li] Breasts: Overall, great, though I wish my areola were a bit smaller.[/li][li] Waist: Smaller, please. I think with a bit of lost weight, I would have a pleasing hourglass shape.[/li][li] Bum: I have to say that this is the only part of my body that I would just replace wholesale with a model’s body part. I just love the firmness of model’s bums in, for example, Victoria’s Secret catalogs, particularly in the ads for boy-short undies. Alas, it’s not to be.[/li][li] Legs: Sure, if we’re making wishlists, I’d be a bit taller (maybe three inches?), but it’s not a major priority for me.[/li][li] Feet: Supersoft skin on the bottom of my feet. I do my bit to maintain soft feet, but it’s a lot of work![/ul][/li]
Of everything listed above, only my smile and my skin are things that actually bother me. Mostly, I just wish my family had money for braces back when I was younger and wish that bad skin was only a teenage phenomenon. Overall, and despite the impression this list might give, I have to say I’m happier with my body as I’ve gotten older and don’t obsess much over this stuff.
