Ugh - it's apparently a trend that on the rise:
"Dr. Fardad Forouzanpour, a cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Calif., said his business has increased more than 40 percent since he began offering what he calls Bridal Beauty Buffets in 2006."
Yes! A story in the New York Times recounts the horrors of bridal parties going for group plastic surgery, with the bride pressuring everyone to look their best.
What do I dislike about this? Well, I already find the spectacle of the opulent wedding to be distasteful, and I'm melancholic about the spread of plastic surgery - combining the two puts me in a deep, angry funk.
"Becky Lee, 39, a Manhattan photographer, declined when a friend asked her — and five other attendants — to have their breasts enhanced. “We’re all Asian and didn’t have a whole lot of cleavage, and she found a doctor in L.A. who was willing to do four for the price of two,” said Ms. Lee, who wore a push-up bra instead."
That's terrifying to me. Boob jobs just for a wedding? Please, leave your gloriously natural bodies alone. How awkward is it to have the bride ask her bridesmaids? Is this what you sign up for as a bridesmaid?
"Ms. Meyer of TriBeCa MedSpa suggests that a bride contact her the minute the question is popped."
Indeed... the first thought after the proposal, she suggests, should be about altering yourself surgically to meet the grand expectations of your own fantasies.
"In June, Jennifer Peterson, 31, a production director in Los Angeles, and eight friends indulged in Botox, Restylane, massages, facials and microdermabrasion at Infinity MedSpa in Valencia, Calif... “Everybody does Botox out here,” she said."
What is this magical place where everyone does Botox? Do they know that the 'tox' is short for toxin?
