They look real, lifted, but real.

Mine look real, too. Mine have a nice gentle slope on the top and don't have the fake round look where you can see the implant edges. If you go under the muscle and you have a decent amount of breast tissue to begin with (full A, small B) and don't go too big (C cup), you can get a very natural looking result.

Looking real doesn't mean she doesn't have implants. It just means she has a good surgeon and the right anatomy for a good, real looking result.

The asterisk I left out re: the cute boy who sometimes/frequently parks near me was that he apparently gave up his BMW sedan (acceptable, but BMWs are over-bought around here) for the SUV. However, this afternoon/evening I saw his familiar BMW again. So perhaps all is well.

I'm sure you all were concerned.

I had thought that getting a breast lift left the same kind of scar as getting a breast reduction (i.e., the anchor-shaped scar). This surgery that involves pinching, is the pinching at the underside of the breast or the chest skin under the breast? Both, when I do them myself, seem to produce a lift.

This is more important to a few friends of mine who have borne children than it is to me.

You're projecting. A lot of people buy the 3 series, and other cars, because they perceive them to be good cars for their situation.

When other people make decisions, they may not consider what other people will think of them as much as you do. They may not care that there are a lot of the same car around. They may not derive their self-worth from being different just for the sake of doing so.

ETA, yeah, you admitted as much a few posts later, but the fact that you're aware that you're an egomaniac doesn't make it any more understandable to ridicule others for not being as shallow as you are.

There are a variety of different types of lifts and which one you need depends on your breasts.

If the nipple is above the inframammary crease and the breast skin is just stretched (i.e., breasts look deflated) then a benelli (periareolar) lift can be done. This isn't really a lift. It is just excising excess skin. Many women opt for an implant at that time, too to give some upper fullness. Sometimes just an implant without the benelli will restore the breast shape.

Then there is a the crescent lift, which is kind of like a benelli but it is an actual lift.

Then there is the benelli-lollipop, sometimes just called the lollipop lift.

If the nipple is signficanly below the inframammary crease or pointing downward, an anchor lift is necessary.

If you google benelli, crescent, lollipop, and anchor along with breast and lift, you should hit on a plethora of sites that can show you the incisions.

Areola reduction can also be done during these lifts if necessary. There is a risk of loss of sensation with these lifts, as well as a variety of other potential complications.

Who are these "other people" you speak of? Do they really exist? I recoil in disgust at the mere desription of them. Are they Mojito drinkers? In my mind's eye, I picture them as Mojito drinkers. I can picture them right now, sitting at a generic suburban TGIFridays or some such abomination, enjoying a tasty Mojitini or Mojitopolitan or Mojitarita or whatever horrific Mojito-based cocktail I'm quite certain they serve at such places these days. I see them wearing garish shirts and sporting mustaches and barking painfully awkward pick up lines at nearby women. They drive white sports cars and their conversation consists mainly of oft-repeated quotations from painfully unfunny movies and homophobic jokes (although one of them is married but secretly gay). They eat an inhuman amount of Buffalo wings, the sauce of which is creating a disturbing tie-dye pattern on the upper thighs of their khaki Dockers.

Anyway, that is what I am picturing in my mind's eye, but I may be way off here.

Given that there will probably be 691,427 pair of the Rat shorts sold in this country, associating anything "individualistic" with clothing choices is probably illusory, unless you're naked or wearing a toga.

My generation, long ago, grew our hair long to show our individualism.

All 62 million of us.

at least the punkers recognize they're in costume

That is a sure sign of a gay guy in denial.... Hetero guys will still go for sex with women who they aren't in love with if the woman that they are in love with doesn't want them.

Not this straight guy.

At least not until 3 months have passed.

When I said the woman wasn't interested, I am not talking about the 3 month courting phase. The woman allowing the man to buy her presents and take her to expensive restaurants during the 3 month courting phase counts as her being interested in him.

Am thinking of seeing Mission of Burma in a few months, and remember talking about them with someone here. Anybody think they're worth seeing now?

Speaking of which, I caught some of SNL this week while in Toronto. Jimmy Fallon cracked up again, and caused everybody else to as well. It was during a sketch called "Debbie Downer," which would have been bastante-funny in its own right, but was downright hilarious with everyone losing their shit on live TV. Pretty good stuff.

Concur. I also liked, and was simultaneously disturbed by, the sketch centering around Lindsay Lohan's 17-year-old boobies.



When she is cast as Kim Possible in the inevitable live-action film, and I'm putting the odds of this casting at 100%, I won't object. Mostly because she turns 18 on July 2. In the meantime, she's filming the "Herbie the Love Bug" remake. WTF? Who greenlighted this piece of shit?
