Pretty Woman Sculpted cheek bones, pert little nose, almond eyes ~ that’s what she chose. Ala carte from a picture book, she perused them all for the perfect look. Bottle lens glasses corrected by laser. Permanent hair removal ~ no more razor. Fat sucked out by a vacuum hose. Flabby, saggy tummy no longer shows. Size A cup is now a C Firm perky boobs don’t come free. At one time she was plain Jane. Now she goes by a brand new name. Pretty woman is what they say. If only they knew the price she had to pay. Fifty thousand dollars and a ton of pain, that’s what it cost to reconstruct Jane. Cheryl McClellan 2/11/2002 |

oh man, the things people go through to try and look perfect! I wish people would just be comfortable with themselves and refrain from altering their looks. You've penned this one really well! I think society puts a lot of pressure on women to look good. Blonde hair, breast implants and wafer thin bodies are not true beauty! there's my two cents hehe  |

Boy, glad my name isn't Jane! That is an awful price to pay to look the way you only think you should look. Rose Petal penned my thoughts exactly. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Love transcends time and space~ |

Thanks Rose, Newell and Nancy. This started out to be funny but in the end (no pun intended) it's really sad. I guess watching a Discovery Channel special of the mishaps of plastic surgery spurred this piece. Cheryl |

 (sigh) I too always feel that I wish everyone could be satisfied with how they look and feel, this is such a sad but true thought of society! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, may we all appreciate the beauty that rests within! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Cheryl, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Ethome, thanks for replying. I'm glad you enjoyed. Interloper, ahh, yes. The economy stays healty but you should see some of the botched up surgeries they showed on the Discovery Channel. Yuk. Silicon injections in the lip that turned to hard little marbles. Then the lips had to be opened and the silicon picked out with tweezers. It was so grose. I'm glad I like myself the way God made me. Thanks for reading. Noah, You would see the inner beauty in all humans, I'm sure. You have a beautiful heart yourself, young man. Thanks for sharing. Cheryl |
