“Let’s dress like angels before we die!” Brilliant.

I like to think fashion is more dynamic and
evolved than ever, but isn’t the skinny jean just
a modern version of the corset? Seriously…
the equivalent of the orthodpedic compression

inmate. You know who I mean…lol.
Of course you can get lipo for those skinny jeans

Plastic surgeons can tuck your tummy, suck your

Breast reduction can relieve backaches and
improve posture, abdominoplasty helps with
rapid weight loss or sagging skin post-pregnancy,
eyelid lifts can improve vision, and otoplasty (or
ear pinning surgery) can save one from a litany of
“Dumbo” insults.

all over the country. She joked about everything
from herself to the age old top of brains over
beauty: “No man has ever put his hand up a
woman’s dress hoping for a library card.”
