You have just made a very very good point. Women and men here in Miami want go be so perfect that plastic surgery is a very popular thing for many.Hair implants, breast surgery and body sculptur. And despite all the tuck here and the tuck there, they still feel imperfect.

Women spend more time in front of a mirror than men...?

Lol I read that a 'men' instead of 'many'

Seriously, it's fascinating to see the horrific cosmetic surgery some famous people have had.

Re: The Ego !!!

I don’t know where we would have been without mirrors when I was a teenager, every time we passed a big shop window we whipped out the comb from the hip pocket, bent the knees and guided the oily black hair back into submission, every one was at it then all trying to look like Elvis.

Oh poooo ... I am a woman !


My puddle is not large enough to sustain any kind of dangerous 'stuff'

I am not going to drink the water ... it is there for microscopic phenomena, should they wish to use it.

Live and let live

We see this addiction taking place with injections in buttock. Some injections made by unqualified doctors contain strange substances that cause a dangerous infection. There is a well known radio talk show woman here in my city who died from such a procedure

I use to carry a comb in my back pocket. It upset my mother a lot. I was a rebel without a cause

Re: The Ego !!!

I dont look in mirrors much, unless I'm doing me eyebrows!
I find I see a different version of me than appears on photos or in chance reflections. Then I wonder who that old woman is!
