Mary Bysshe Shelley

As in, I'm going all MBS on you....

So, designer bodies. Who doesn't want one? Was idly wondering the other day if I could take the body parts of my friends (the parts I like, of course) and put them on myself...what parts of who would I take?

Somehow, from that random thought I went into...those ugly duckling makeover shows with all the plastic sugery. Ok, so mommy or daddy is an outright troll prior to whatever it is they do. And the VIOLA!!!! you have a hot and beautiful new mommy. What will the kids think? Do they grow up knowing that they will look like their parents, one of whom thought she was so ugly she went on an international tv show for a free if grueling makeover?

What kind of freaking lesson does that teach?

It teaches them that no matter how much you strive to be the best person you can be, it'll never be good enough..........sad reality of the times we live in.

It does indeed. And we wonder why the first thing out of someone's mouth is "She could be so pretty IF" or "he could be quite attractive IF"....
