Age TWELVE!?!?!?
Mea culpa. It’s the TV show that targets the 12-29 age group, not the contest.
The local top 40 radio station was running a promotion called “The Ultimate Make-over.” You win plastic surgery. One proceedure, what ever you want.
The station sucks, I am disgusted, and that is the end.
A little persistance goes a long way. Announcing:
“I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig!
I hear that stuff on Howard Stern at least once a month, it seems. Typically, they’ll have some poor sould with no self esteem come in, and make her let them do either something obscenely biological to her, or throw bologna at her butt. Then they’ll give her the boobs or lipo that she’s looking for, invite her back a few weeks later, and make sure that she realizes that she is not a better person at all.
Now I get it: the Boob Tube. I always wondered about that.
Instead of giving the winners of these contests breast enhancment surgery, they should give them sessions with a shrink. Maybe that way they can find out why they are unhappy with themselves.
Here is a tip for anybody thinking of getting breast enlargement…you’ll be the same person. If you’re unhappy with small breasts, you’ll most likely be unhappy with larger breasts. Not to mention a few thousand dollars lighter in the wallet.
“And so he says to me ‘I don’t like the cut of your jib’. And I go, I says, ‘but it’s the only jib I’ve got baby’.”
Funny how that works. If you have large breasts, and have a reduction, you’ll be damned happy and comfortable for a change. So you’re saying it only works one way?
It is rather embarrasing to walk into a department store (or whatever) and ask for their largest training bra. Just to have a size would be nice. So I usually make do with the ‘sports’ bras available.
That said, I will never have to worry about drooping, and I can ride a horse all day without wearing a bra.
I’m ok with my size, and so is my hubby, and that is all that counts, I guess.
Does it make a difference to guys - whether or not they are real?
and heres another tip for those who feel they need a breast enlgargement…
DON’T DO IT!
from a female who has MORE than ample (natural) boobs, no one in their right mind should want this. I wish there was a contest to win a breast reduction…if anyone comes across that, could ya let me know?
“I am so smart, I am so smart, s-m-r-t, i mean s-m-a-r-t”
I got tired of having small boobs, so I bought those “curves” things and wore them for about a month. Well, sure thing, suddenly I was getting all this extra attention! But I thought, why? Because I had two big plastic things strapped to my chest? This is worthy of extra attention?? How stupid is that?? So I took them off, put them away, and now I don’t even wear a bra at all.

Not, that it has anything to do with the OP, but yes, that is what I am saying. Reductions are mainly done to relieve physical discomfort. Enhancements that are done because of low self-esteem are not going to help.
Please note, that I am not including implants for women who have lost their breasts because of cancer.
“And so he says to me ‘I don’t like the cut of your jib’. And I go, I says, ‘but it’s the only jib I’ve got baby’.”
good for you, a girl. how can women really like people looking at their chests, b/c i sure as hell don’t like it and i’ve been putting up with it for several years now.
Boobs are not the answer to everything, I hope more women realize this…
“I am so smart, I am so smart, s-m-r-t, i mean s-m-a-r-t”
MissMonica7 and anyone else - if you are serious about getting breast reduction surgery and have insurance, you should definitely discuss your options with your doctor. Reductions are very often fully covered, even with crappy plans (student coverage, HMOs, etc.) Try it - all they can do is say no.
Although I don’t need any more in the o’ bra size, I would love to win a contest that awards free proceedures at a plastic surgeon.
Spare me the self-esteem lectures, mine is fine. I see absolutely nothing wrong with making improvements whether it involves a new hair-style, make-up, body toning, teeth whitening, or nips and tucks from a plastic surgeon.
I plan on treating myself to a face-lift on my 60th birthday.
Speaking as one who is ‘amply endowed’, had the reduction surgery (the doctors screwed it up badly), and then got married, had two kids, and they grew back; I can tell you it’s not worth the hassle of trying to go bigger.
I am still happy that I had the reduction done, for the health benefits (back pain, shoulders), not to mention being able to buy clothes fairly easily. I just wish they had done a better job of it. And, odds are very high that I won’t be able to afford to get them fixed, so buyer beware.
Aren’t you glad you asked? Sigh The things I share with you all…
You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.

That’s my name, not a description. I am neither purple nor a bear. Okay, so I’m purple.<a true Wally original!>
Strainger, what if there’s a tie?
I just looked at the website. Yikes. This is getting dangerously close to being more repellent than “Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire.”
On a side note…my best friend had another friend a few years ago who was working as a topless dancer and had her boobs done. I asked if she could deduct that from her taxes. It was a work-related expense, after all! I never did find out…
My fake boob thingies were heavy too! I thought, why would anybody want to do this to themselves and walk around like this on purpose! I couldn’t wait to get home at the end of the day and take 'em off. I tell ya, I’m much happier being me. I’d recommend those things to anyone considering the surgery. Try it for a month! I never considered surgery, but after that I wouldn’t have gotten it, no way.
On another note, I do use them if I’m wearing a dress that I don’t quite fill up properly… but those events are few and far between. Is that still low self-esteem? Or does that fall under “looking your best” like wearing make-up and fixing your hair?

A girl’s Body Part of the Week: The Eyes Have It!
I am not at all interested in enlarging my breasts. I’m not even sure what size they are, since I don’t wear a bra, but they can’t be any bigger than an A-cup. What would be the point? I look fine the way I am, and I feel fine, too. About the contest itself, though…
I’m kinda wondering what this entails…
Here lies Pierre de Fermat. Unfortunately, there is not enough room on this tombstone for a proper epitaph.
I’m sure that modern technology can make fake breasts that are every bit as nice as the real thing. Speaking as a guy (well, more or less, I’m a programmer :)) what matters to me isn’t the realness of the breasts, it’s the realness of the person. When I find a woman with fake breasts attractive it always makes me sad-- invariably she is attractive for reasons that have nothing to do with her breasts and I find myself wishing that she could have seen those reasons before she spent all that money on surgery. It isn’t that breast implants are unattractive, it’s just that they are unnecessary.
