PENTICTON, B.C.—Hours before a 22-year-old personal banker won a free set of breast implants, elderly churchgoers did their bit to change the minds of 36 contestants ....[Skipping the whole beginning, which was kinda irrelevant]
"[I]t's my body and I'm going to do whatever I want," said Tiffany Friesen between celebratory screams and gulps of champagne inside the club.
Names of all the contestants, most of whom were 19 or in their early 20s, were taped to a prize wheel for a chance at the $3,000 prize.
One by one they filed up on stage in mini skirts and tight dresses to spin the wheel, eliminating the girl whose name it landed on.
Friesen shrieked in disbelief when she was the last woman standing.
Other contestants... sulked, soothing their disappointment at the bar. They lost a chance at gaining self-confidence, many of them said.
Men at the club were astounded at the competition.
"They're all so beautiful. Every single one of the contestants is really good-looking. I don't get it," said Steve Jones, 32, who was visiting from Calgary.
"Natural is so much better. I want to tell all these girls, `don't do it!'"
Friesen, a slim, tanned woman from Fort St. John, said her good looks aren't enough for her.
"I was born really unlucky with this one part of my body. I've been wanting implants for five years ... It's going to be great," said Friesen.
Women's groups are worried that contestants in the Sextreme Makeover competition aren't thinking about the possible health risks associated with breast implants.
Breast implant surgery carries the same operative risks associated with many surgical interventions to implant a medical device. Health Canada says they can cause infection, hematoma, delayed wound healing and changes in sensation...

Don't need...nevermind.
done.
OMG...she's gonna put someone's eyes out with those!
I'm with you on this one, teeny. I've never had the surgery, either, though after five babies, I'm sure thinking about it! LOL
The girls just aren't what they used to be. :)
Dasher, you cyber whore! Always pushing the envelope, aren't you?
It's all fun and games until someone suffocates in there.
It IS their choice but who knows what this will bring to them down the line. Let them do it. It's their choice. It only hurts them.
You only think that because Hollywood tells you you're ugly, don't you see that??????? ; )
(shirley that's a photoshop boob job ?)
Actually, upon reflection, I'm thinking those HAVE to be photoshopped.
Still...yikes!
Geez, speak for yourself. I'm well past my thirties and I don't have any of that stuff. Sagging, bulges, gray hair, wrinkles? Ech!
Prolly so, but stop calling him Shirley.
Barbie dolls Agree with everything you said except the Barbie Doll part. Barbie Dolls were fashion dolls and not created to have humans try to be like them. They were fantasy. How can any of these women say they are free and feminists when they do everything they can to attract themselves to men? It is the total opposite. Sounds to me like they are dependent on men to have to go to some of the lengths they go to to think they are attractive to men. Sad for them. They'll learn later in life and it will be too late. No sense talking to them...they know it all.
LOL! I don't need Hollywood to tell me that...I had mirrors until I started looking into them!
I was looking at it from the scientific side.
;-)
PS... men should know what they look like - and what women are inserting into their bodies to "make them prettier"! Yuck!
PSS...Stop calling Cyber Whore you Pervert!
LOL!
Jennifer Lopez gets a percentage.
Oh, and I'm a kook, too.
I knew that!
;-)
You know whos butt i really like alot ?
