^ plastic surgery is an exercise in vanity at its most extreme, maybe?
Sure, no doubt lipo or a nose job is more extreme/invasive than acrylic nails and a fake bake, but the motivation and purpose are the same.....to improve one's appearance, to look better than we naturally do. That, to me, is like when crackheads go off on heroin addicts, saying that "hey, we may be doing drugs but at least we're not shooting up". that's a rather extreme comparison, but my point is that the judgements are not really appropriate. Like we've said on other threads: one mom thiniks she's beter than another because she breastfeeds instead of bottle feeds, stay at home moms vs> working moms, etc. it just seems like women cannot get away from judging each other so harshly, regardless of the issue, and I'm tired of it.
