In light of the recent storm in a teacup about a local blogger who underwent extensive plastic surgery and literal ethnic overhaul to look beautiful and get famous, I am very disturbed that this is starting a new trend of plastic people. By the looks of it, the media is also encouraging the plastic trend by making it 'hip' and riding on the controversy. So it seems, as this blogger has hit the newstands on a local men's magazine cover this month.
I've long thought that extensive plastic surgery was for the disfigured, people who have lost parts of their bodies due to cancer etc and maybe celebrities in distant shores. When I read that this girl's friends and parents encouraged her extensive surgery, I can't help but feel dismayed.
Just flip over to health and beauty forum, you get a bunch of regulars forming a plastic surgery group. Aptly named ' new nose club' -they talk about getting new noses, also making eyes more defined and deep set, jawline botox, liposuction on cheeks, body, eyelash implants etc. If people spent that amount of time an energy on making their personalities and their thoughts beautiful, the world would be a better place.
Is natural beauty a passe thing?
Think about it. 
Getting so much cosmetic surgery from butts to boobs to noses, eyelids, tummy tucks, calf implants, ear stapling, hair implants and so forth, no one will know what the other party would have originally looked like. Can you imagine (cause DNA don't change - least not yet anyway) how ugly the kids will be and the parents trying to explain to each other that this kid got their nose from me but before I got a new one, etc., etc.,
