Years ago, when I was just an innocent lamb in college, party girls knew they could get their mojo going with a couple of shots. Apparently now it's even more true - but instead of a tequila shot poured down their throat, more and more women are choosing a G-Shot injected right up the yin-yang. Okay, perhaps I'm putting that a bit indelicately, and not giving the procedure its due. So let me rephrase that a bit. Recently invented by an "aesthetic gynecologist" in Los Angeles (where ...
Check out the link to see the current voting! If you could replace one body part what would it be? Hmm. I'm not sure, I may say eyes, but, how about my legs...my stomach...the list is endless! Being involved in plastic surgery I was kind of wondering what most people would replace (hence the reason I made the voting!). Obviously breasts seem to be the number one replacement but...you'd probably be surprised at which ones came next. What do you think? Link: http://www.body-philosophy.net/no...
This kind of goes with the last article, below. If a spouse gives you a plastic surgery gift certificate how would you react? There's a voting on-line that I thought was interesting (follow link)...Would you... 1) Say "Thank You!" then secretly go to your room and cry 2) Say "Thank You!" (and mean it) then race to the phone to schedule a consultaion 3) Become outraged, tear it up, then break up with your partner/spouse on the spot! 4) Say "Thanks but No Thanks" and graciously retu...
How would you react if, on Christmas morning, your husband handed you a gift certificate in the amount of $10,000.00, redeemable only by the plastic surgeon of his choice, along with a note that read, "Honey, I'd really love to fondle your breasts again without having to bend down. Love, your husband of twenty-two years, Charles." "The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates its members performed 10.2 million cosmetic surgeries at a cost of $9.4 billion in 2005. That's a 38 percent ...
You've seen the commercials of Tiger Woods praising the surgeons that corrected his poor eyesight with laser eye surgery. "Now I see the ball 20/20," he beams in the ad. While millions like the golf guru have had the surgery, many with poor eyesight still don't know what it is or how it works. Having had the surgery, I can give you the basic nuts and bolts. Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, better known as LASIK, in a nutshell, is laser eye surgery that corrects your vision in a matt...
If you could choose your own lifespan, how long would it be? This is the latest from the polls on our website and I'm just curious to see what most people think. Automatically you may assume that everyone would want to live forever, not true. Follow the link to the right side of our homepage for the voting.

After nursing three kids, this mother found herself disappointed with her post-baby breasts, so she did what many moms consider: She went under the knife to perk up her other girls with saline implants. A scientist by profession, she didn't make the decision lightly, but instead says she spent hours researching the procedure, speaking with her surgeon, reading literature and considering the pros and cons of undergoing the knife and then living with implants after the fact. A few months fo...
Breaking news: News anchors get plastic surgery and Botox. Actually, considering the frozen faces you usually see on the nightly news, that's not so surprising-especially now that HDTV is here, ready to zoom in on every tiny wrinkle. (We also suspect they wear booty shorts and knee-high socks behind those desks.) So which news personalities are more "Good Night and Nip/Tuck" than "Good Night and Good Luck"? Read on to get the scoop. Katie Couric Her CBS ratings may be going down, dow...
Volumizing mascara, lash plumpers, falsies, even extensions...augmenting eyelashes is a big business. And while Maybelline Great Lash may be the quintessential miracle beauty product, nobody does glamorous lashes better than Shu Uemura. The best Japanese import to emerge since sushi, Shu Ueumura's array of luxe gold eyelash curlers (the pride of my makeup bag) and false lashes make any woman feel like a diva. So it's not surprising to discover that the brand's Tokyo boutique is home to th...
We've all had those moments of self-loathing when we step on the scale the morning after a Big Mac Attack. But imagine how you would feel if you weren't just a little heavy-you were one of the fattest people on the planet. The heavyweights below have known that feeling, having gained notoriety for their larger-than-life bodies. Read on-and put the brownie down. Renee Williams Texas housewife Renee Williams made headlines earlier this year when she became, according to The Daily Mail...
Aubrey de Grey is not your typical scientist. With a long beard and ponytail, and dressed faded jeans and a t-shirt, he ended his talk at the Technology, Entertainment, and Design conference with the challenge: "If you think that I'm wrong, you'd better damn well go and find out why you think I'm wrong." Oh yeah-and he believes it's possible for human beings to live to be a thousand years old. De Grey may not be conventional in his thinking or presentation, but he is an accomplished scient...
Want to jazz up your next dinner party...and a new tuna casserole recipe just isn't enough? According to Small Town Politics, the Japanese might be able to offer some party hints that'll blow Martha Stewart out of the water. Apparently the new trend in the Land of the Rising Sun is to construct a lifelike, nude woman constructed completely out of food...like a blow-up doll that you can eat. Plop her on the table, gather everyone around, slice into the "edible woman," and, as Small Town Politi...
According to statistics published in the 2006 World Factbook, life expectancy in the United States is 77 years. Don't send out save-the-date cards just yet. Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) is a medical engineering project striving to remedy and reverse human aging. The SENS strategy is not to interfere with metabolism, like traditional gerontological approaches, but to repair or prevent the accumulating damage and thereby indefinitely postponing the age at which it reac...
We hear that with every generation, people are living longer. But just how much longer? Well, last year, Los Angeles resident, Mark Johnson died at the age of 112. He was thought to be the oldest living Californian and oldest surviving veteran of World War I. What's more, doctors who performed the autopsy said that his body was like that of a 50 year-old, and here's the catch: His diet was largely sausages and waffles! Hmmm... does that mean that sausages and waffles will give you the body of...
Does having breast implants make a woman a suicide risk? According to a study published in the August issue of Annals of Plastic Surgery, the answer is yes. ABC News and USA Today are reporting that the study, conducted by researchers in Maryland, Tennessee, and Sweden over an eight-year period, found that "women who have breast implants are three times as likely to die by suicide and have a similar increased risk of death as a result of drug use or alcoholism." The 3,527 women used in the...
