I know it's a month late, but I just remembered an especially bad example of an outdated beauty product: Foundation made of white lead. That goes way beyond "potentially" fatal, and is also liable to make your nose fall off. Ack!

I don't think the sentiment has changed in the least. Professor Fifi Trixibell- it's funny, isn't it how the children are used for emotional manipulation... I wonder how young those ideas get ingrained... To see it as a charity and entertainment in one shows how women are viewed to gain happiness from. The sad thing is that the program you mentioned is probably targeted at women so more sign up. I don't think plastic surgery is self-harm for everyone that does it but I do think it may apply to a large number of cases. It's an interesting angle... Freedom to conform is not freedom. Freedom to be oneself without judgement is where true freedom derives from. Great to see new people here! :)

Shows like this should be illegal. It was truly sickening. I do have a letter planned for channel 4 - please, everyone, write to them about this obscene theme - there is alwayas a surgical procedure with each "victim". Where are all the programmes which celebrate women's acheivements, not terrorising them into submission of a male-defined, totally youth-oriented way of looking, and being depressed when they do not fit this standard? Another theory of mine, and i have seen it mentioned by others, is that the cutting and mutilation of surgery is a form of self-harm - it's just that it's controlled and it's done by someone else who you pray is going to change your life by making you look like men say you should look - truly sickening the way this is all going. I won't even go into an ad I heard on the radio this morning advertising ina lighthearted way, breast enlargement surgery! They were saying "your body, your breasts, your choice" - is it our choice? Reallly? All this pressure and it's our choice?? I have written to the ASA about this ad, but they are generally useless, esp when it comes to things addressing image fascism against women.

Keep young and beautiful It's your duty to be beautiful keep young and beautiful..............if you want to be loved. Wha'! honestly what a message and I do not think things have changed. I staffed on plastic surgery for a number of years, what women are prepared to put themselves through in the name of that song, quite honestly it's not good. Some of those proceedures are horrific ---lipo included. There was a song fromthe 1920’s (i think) it goes…
