Fringey's taut-abbed painter

Kendra Schroeder's husband gave her breast implants for Christmas, courtesy of Dr. Franklin Rose.

Ah, the holidays. Time for eggnog, caroling and Botox.


It's the season of giving and getting, and in Houston that means plastic surgeons are working overtime performing face-lifts, breast augmentations, liposuctions and tummy tucks.

Much of their business is from husbands and boyfriends giving their loved ones everything from major cosmetic surgeries to stocking stuffers such as collagen treatments and Botox injections.

That's the case with Kendra Schroeder of Pasadena, whose husband gave her a new pair of breasts as an early Christmas present at Thanksgiving.

The 26-year-old leasing agent says she couldn't wait to collect on her gift; Dr. Franklin Rose performed her augmentation surgery two weeks ago, just in time for holiday parties.

"I never had breasts, and I wanted something there," said Schroeder, whose husband is a chemical plant operator and spent $7,000 on the operation. "It's the most expensive Christmas gift I've ever gotten and probably always will be. I feel very loved that he was willing to do that for me."

Do you play rotissiere league?

You're next.

That's a gift they won't get to fight over in the inevitable divorce case. Yay for her.

You can see the cycle on AR if you watch closely. At first things are calm, the person is even nice. Next the person gets angrier and angrier and finally s/he explodes and pushes/hits/whatever the victim. It looks to me like their cycle is shortened a bit because of the extreme stress of being on the show.

It's actually getting kind of disturbing, as is TAR showing statement of hers where she says something like "Jonathan loves me very much, he just gets very upset with me when I do things he doesn't like" and showing him encouraging her ("You're a rock star!") on occasion. It's like they're trying to present his side of the story or something. Given the way that he pushed her intentionally at the end of the last episode and is constantly verbally and emotionally abusive, if TAR doesn't actually address the behaviour, they're doing a serious disservice.

This is the first real beef I've had with this show. I really like the format, and you do get to see some interesting reactions to stress. But the only admonishment so far has been Phil's at the end of that episode a few episodes ago, and they need to do something more than that, unless they are editing _very_ selectively to make him appear to be much more of a bastard than he really is.

The other teams obviously hate him, too. The way he was acting towards Gus and the ticket agent at Malev would have been comical if it weren't so fucking sad.

It isn't uncommon for battered women to show some of a response, such as you see on the show.

My theory is they are ringers. 1) The woman did Playboy so she is looking for some airtime. 2) No wife abuser ever had that much botox 3) the wife abuser slash entrepreneur woudlnt be dumb enough to air his violence to a nationwide audience on videotape 4) don't wife abusers tend to dial up the charm to strangers and the wife in public 5) why would family friendly CBS put a real wife abusder on tv? and 6) its good for ratings.

I am rooting for Hera and Gus. I also have a strange empathy for Bolo and Lori.

Hayden "baby" and Erin her codependent enablging manpal need to go pronto. I wish them well on their acting careers.

Wow, a whole bevy of Slave Inside Jokes of theDay that Aren't Really All that Inside.

Word from the Wise- the Consigliere has no hair. Prepare to reasssess your allies and enemigos, Mental Midget, bc exile is not far away.

And if I am so stupid, and you are so smart, why is it that I always so successfully push your buttons? How many bottles have I driven you to drink, my dear? Wish your liver a fond farewell for me as I understand it has now shrunken to the point where that lone hair behind your knee that you keep missing is now serves more of a purpose. A lone white flag waving in the wind of Slave's past glories, brief as they were, and bookmarked by free rides on the oldskool backs of Plate and Cornholio Esquire. I didn';t know SParks allowed people in who arrived post Yahoo but I guess its who you are with, not what you have done. And once upon a time, you were with me. And that made you who you are. In one hundred years. when the FB is run by the Baggettes, the NotBobbinos and RP's adopted childen, someone will post 'Who was Slave?" and the answer, after a long board kill moment, will be "Oh, that guy who gave Paigow a full body razor burn". That is your legacy. At least you are memorable for something. You are welcome.

Hey, know a compliment when you see it. The chick on top has an outstanding ass and legs. The chick in the middle looks pretty cute. You should be so lucky.

You should also not get so goddamn drunk that you nail a cat with no body hair. What the hell were you thinking?

Well, I was offering to scratch my ass for you, but if there's a bonus involved - I may consider.

And this just for you from your friends at JibJab - grumpy Santa

No problem. I've got nothing better to do, other than sit here and scratch my ass.

MMMMMM... smelly. Must be time to shower.

YUM. Lunch!

God. That's disgusting.

At first, I misread the article and thought that was her before the implants. That would be crazy to get bigger breasts than that. She already looks enormous, but maybe it's the breast-enhancing sweater.

I guess giving breast implants as a gift (assuming that the implantee actually wants it and would do it otherwise, which is another issue entirely) isn't any different than getting breast implants in the first place, which we've already argued and fought about here. I still think it's creepy, though.

Come on, it was a novelty fuck. This is kinda cute after eight or ten vodka martinis.

You just wrote an earnest dissertation on the offensiveness of a reality television program's failure to address potential spousal abuse and you think plastic surgery is creepy?

When did the bizarro universe take over? Lemme guess... I was passed out, right?
