Girls and self-esteem

Virgo

Love and romance take a serious tone. You are adamant regarding your desires and simply refuse to lessen your expectations. Relationships can reach new heights, or face immediate separation. There is no settling with these Stars, so take life as it comes. Accept the reality, as it releases surface falsehoods and allows only truth to prevail.

Why is breast augmentation more important than a new roof?

“If women kept their heads covered instead of their breasts, we’d all be rushing to the corner store to pick up the latest copy of ‘Heads Illustrated,’” says Jerry Seinfeld, as reported to The Mercury News.

Certainly, the “hidden” aspect of breasts is seductive. But, when you get down to it, breasts are very confusing. On the one hand, the breast is a sexual organ. On the other hand, it is an innocent source of nourishment. However, women are frequently appalled when they see a woman nursing uncovered in a public place and men are simply abashed, not knowing where or how to look.

Breast augmentation has been the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for the past three years, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The federal government spent more on breast cancer research last year than on lung and prostate cancers combined according to the National Cancer Institute. So, why are we willing to invest so much in female breasts?

Anthropologist Helen Fisher thinks our obsession with breasts is tied to survival of the human species. Since breasts feed babies, a well-appointed chest signals youth and good reproductive value.

Leigh Hurst, breast cancer survivor and mother, founder of “Feel Your Boobies” is on a mission to encourage women to prevent breast cancer through self-examination. But she has been told that her message is offensive and over sexualizes breasts. Fisher is not surprised by this reaction, “Americans are particularly square. We link sex with sin and religion. And we still see the breast as purely sexual instead of as a source of nourishment.”

According to The Mercury News, October 11, 2011, 20-something girls talk about their breasts all the time. The smaller-breasted envy the larger-breasted and vice versa. There is a London-based blog, “Beauty and the Boob” written by someone who worked in the cosmetic surgery field who couldn’t believe the volume of women of all ages who wanted to change the appearance of their breasts.

Survival, sexuality, envy, sin, religion, nourishment……the breast has all the ingredients of a good movie. And unlike other investments, a well turned out breast holds its value.

Children feature quite strongly, as do family connections. Gatherings can be tense, or wonderfully warm. Clashes are due to emotional overload, so don't take them too seriously.

Health officials concerned about back street Botox

Health officials have stepped forward recently to warn consumers about illegal Botox treatments, which may be enticing to those who are hoping to save money on cosmetic medicine procedures. However, such underground treatments can be very dangerous, and have left thousands of individuals with blemishes and deadly skin infections, among other ailments, according to The Mirror.

Some refer to the criminals who give out these treatments as “Botox pirates.” These individuals often operate out of unhygienic, unaccredited facilities, and typically have little-to-no medical training. Most often, they are in it for the money, and are more concerned about the cash payout than their customer’s safety.

“It is very dangerous,” Sally Taber of the Independent Healthcare Advisory Service told the news source. “You are putting your lives in the hands of someone who does not know what they are doing or what could happen. We have seen a rise in unqualified practitioners masquerading as professionals with titles such as Advanced Aesthetic Practitioners, which is extremely worrying.”

She is also troubled by facilities that offer classes that last only a few hours and hand out official-looking certificates to potential injectors. This amount of training is not sufficient, according to the news organization.

Those who are interested in dermal fillers and other injectable medicines such as Botox should be sure to talk over their options with a board-certified plastic surgeon, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
