Hey Tyra, thanks for making me throw up

As I’m forced to watch this episode of Tyra Banks, I keep growing mad, not only because I’m forced to watch it in the first place, but also because of the content on the show.

The episode is about women who are addicted to do-it-yourself plastic surgery…. Honestly? Why does this even exist? It’s sick, plain and simple.
Personally, I believe that plastic surgery should have never been created. The men who developed breast implants, (yes it was men. I’d like to apologize to women on their behalf) were clearly not thinking straight. These men, Frank Gerow and Thomas Cronin, decided it would be a good idea to put silicone inside women’s bodies.
I realize that these men did not fully understand the effect of what silicone can do to a body, but isn’t it common sense to not put industrial-grade chemicals into them? I know my mother always taught me that lesson. “Don’t eat that silicone Jordan; it could be bad for you…” Now, of course that’s a joke my mother never actually said that. That sort of life lesson was never really required. I think the commercials as a child covered it quite well, “Don’t you put it in your mouth. NO WAY!”

Shouldn’t it have been the same with these so-called “beauty products?”

When I say “beauty products,” I’m referring to Botox, Paraffin, Collagen, Restylane, and Juvederm. I’m sure there is more, but they are currently unknown to the general public. Women and men all around the world are being brain-washed to think that these things will make them beautiful. The truth is they don’t. I have never seen one act of cosmetic surgery which has attracted me in any way, shape, or form. Yes I’m even including boob jobs. Obviously there are people that find this attractive, but these people are soulless, shallow, and degenerating. I am sorry to anyone who this may refer to or offend, but what’s wrong with natural beauty? I feel quite strongly that both women and men should not alter their appearance just because they think they have imperfections. However, they may be exceptions such drastic facial scarring or burns or deformities. In which case, the person has an actual reason as to why they want it, or perhaps need it.

Tyra Banks is known to have some topics that raise eyebrows, but this show is absolutely jaw-dropping. The first guest had purchased a bottle of silicone off Ebay and injected it into her top lip and her left cheek. The woman was unaware that the silicone she purchased was for external use, it wasn’t supposed to be injected.



She also had no idea how much silicone she was supposed to inject. So she not only filled her face with external silicone, but she also added way too much. Why would someone be compelled to do this? It’s because women are pressured to be perfect at such a young age. Don’t take this the wrong way ladies, because I know that not every single woman on earth feels the need to get cosmetic surgery, but the majority of people who are getting way too much surgery are women. I am not going to pass judgment on all woman, I believe it’s unfair the way their treated. Thank god guys aren’t all like, “Oh my god, look at his ass, I wish that was mine.” Or,”Ugh my lips are too thin. I need to plump them up.”

That sort of stuff just doesn’t happen. Well, maybe it does with some, but those guys were probably brought up the same way as the girls who get plastic surgery. And I don’t think there are too many guys who are quite that open. It is primarily an industry directed towards women, for now, and it should be an industry on the decline. Instead, there’s reality shows being made about how glorious it is. Stupid…

Women, you’re beautiful the way god made you. Everyone on earth has natural beauty and it should be embraced. As for the men, well there are more women on earth than there is guys so don’t worry, you’ll find your match no matter what you look like.

  1. I hate Tyra Banks. Her show keeps trying to put on a better-than-thou facade, but it's down there with Jerry Springer or Maury.

    I feel the same way about cosmetic surgery. And what about MEN? Hair implants? Those are weird.

  2. That's what I like about Dove's 'Campaign for real beauty'. It's bringing a message to society that beauty is in what you already are, not what you are expected to be. (at least that's how I interpret it)

  3. Personally I have seen some remarkable plastic surgery, both good and bad. While I disagree with the lengths that people go to for a fleeting beauty trend, I have come to terms with the fact that its not going to stop happening for a long time yet.

    Till then lets just see how judgmental Tyra can REALLY be towards plastic surgery with her own... uh....

    'Adjustments'

    Obviously her nose shrunk half its size through good diet and exercise!
