What the heck?

What is this guy thinking? Is it possible he missed all the Michael Jackson jokes? What drives a person who is not bad looking to do stuff like this?


although, after my divorce a while ago, i did consider buying boobs to celebrate....

Do what stuff? There is a minfield of skin whitening creams on the market. There is no need for surgery or actual skin bleaching.
As long as he feels good in himself, who cares?

He doesn't feel good in himself, obviously. If he did, he'd say yeah, so what.....not blame it on lighting.

At least he hasn't botoxed yet! Or maybe he has

You asked in your OP what drives some-one to do this. I would Imagine the answer, is the same thing as what would drive you to consider cosmetic surgery on your boobs. Why is it different for him and you?

This isn't too bad considering her age. She's had much worse over the years.

I just don't get why she'd have any desire to go from the first to the second.

Why any critisism at all ? You considered having your boobs done. In the end It all comes down to the same reason what ever part of the body is chosen to under-go surgery. To enhance what nature gave you and reverse the aging process. Why is it It different for them? If they think they look great, that's all that matters.

It's an interesting topic, Floppy.. Changing the colour of one's skin. I guess you could argue that certain skin tones hold more status in some places than other skin tones. Here I'm thinking of India - where I understand it best to be kind of golden, neither too pale nor too dark. Medieval European women wished to be as white as possible and used bleaches like lactic acid - milk baths. Some Asian women keep all sun off their faces... the tanned women are probably peasants. Western women often totally screw up their skin by tanning it to leather or painting themselves with darkening lotion "for that sunkissed blush".



Fashion? Wish to belong in what is perceived as the top echelons? Just basic insecurity and desire to be something different from what one is?

Did anyone else put lemon juice on their nose as a kid - to remove freckles????

What the heck??????

AND BY THE WAY....

Why are emoticons mostly yellow? Where are the well tanned emoticons...??? Sure there's a few sunburnt ones..... GEESCH

Lemon juice - really? We used it to get golden highlites in our hair

yellow smiles is easy - Smiley Face History - Invention of the Smiley Face

the only other option would have been something along the lines of this:
