ABC News: Kids' Book About Tummy Tucks, Nose Jobs


I think children's literature just took a giant leap.

*I'm so speechlass at this moment, I am having a hard time typing!*......

I see it was written by a MD, gee I could never take a guess at wha branch on "Modern Medicine" they work in.

Of course I applaud the "creative" marketing: kid sees book and then goes tell mommy "you could be really pretty mommy if you had surgery, call this doctor to help you with your ugliness"
What, me worry?

No big deal. When we get to "My Hot Mommy" it could be troublesome. Teenage friends having a nice wank over your mommy is always awkward.
Cue "Stacy's Mom."

Oh, and the Mommy in the illustration is HOT.

I definitely have a butterfly-hovering-over-hand fetish.

I think there is one already...

I have to agree with iM@k on this-it's marketing by a plastic surgeon.

One reality show that really does exist, "Dr. 90210" is all about a plastic surgery practice and the "trials" of being a very well off Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon. Some of the cases are sort of interesting, but mostly it's about vanity. The real hook is how sometimes that vanity has a purpose. One guy lost something like 300 pounds through gastric bypass surgery, but wound up with something like a whole cowhide worth of excess skin all over the place. I see that as something beyond "I look like crap and I want to change that." It's more "I have completely changed myself, and I want to physically reflect that."
