At the risk of repeating myself

Seriously, we're out of control with the beauty obsession. This is a book for the purpose of explaining to children why their mommies are going under the knife after giving birth.

Is it me, or is there really something seriously wrong with humanity these days?



Quoting from newsweek website:

"What's the market for a children's picture book about moms getting cosmetic surgery? No one specifically tracks the number of tummy-tuck-and-breast-implant combos (or "mommy makeovers," as they're called), but according to the latest numbers from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation was the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure last year, with 348,000 performed (up 6 percent over 2006). Of those, about one-third were for women over 40 who often opt for implants to restore lost volume in their breasts due to aging or pregnancy weight gain. There were 148,000 tummy tucks—up 1 percent from the previous year."
