Dysmorpic Delights

It's finally happened -- a beauty contest for women, mostly, who've been plasticized through surgery (see this piece from the BBC) .

The dysmorphia industry (a.k.a cosmetics) has been alive and well for quite some time, contributing to the hazardous waste stream while they made people feel uncomfortable with themselves.

Now we're breaking on through to the other side. Along with the dysmorphics like Ahnold who sculpt themselves through body building we've added another group -- those who've gone the surgical route.

What happens when the face in the mirror is no longer yours? Self-acceptance may not be as sexy as self-esteem but it's cheaper and easier than reconstruction.
