"You'd think that depilation would lend a youthful look to the genitals but it has the opposite effect instead, making the girls look older and slightly jaded."
-- a review of Playboy centerfolds, quoted by Ann Althouse
I hadn't seen a Playboy magazine in a long time until a couple years ago when, by happenstance, I encountered someone's collection of recent issues and was stunned to discover that deforestation of the pubic delta had become de rigeur. Ditto breast augmentation -- it being possible to discern the real from the fake by the gravity-defying globular quality of the latter variety.
Admitting there may be a limited market for the flat-chested Sasquatch, I was struck by the extreme artificiality of these latter-day Miss Aprils and Miss Mays with their depilated-and-silicone-implanted physiques. There is something bizarre (and arguably wrong) about glorifying an "ideal" that has no naturally-occurring example.

ReplyDeleteThat "flat-chested Sasquatch" line is a keeper!

ReplyDeleteThat's why you make the big bucks writing..

I am not sure what Playboy you read in the past. The one from the '60's and '70's that I recall all airbrushed out any "unsightly" hair - along with most of the genitals.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't be too sure about the mere "gravity defying" position to be a unique tag, for identifying breast augmentation. While often true, there are those natural shapes that make the silicone versions plausible.

I hate implants. Hate them. If there was anything, anything at all on God's green Earth, that emphatically did not need the "improving" hand of man, it was boobies.
ReplyDeleteAnd the "deforestation?" Nothing but labial "business casual." Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
Now get off my lawn!
Oh wait. There IS no lawn.

ReplyDeleteSo I take you don't glorify cars, or infrastructure, curing diseases, psothetics that make life easier for the disabled, or coffee makers?
I will continue to glorify that which improves on nature.
