BridalPlasty

I remember when I first saw the commercial for the show BridalPlasty and I thought it was an honest to god complete joke. I felt completely disgusted and appalled by what I had just seen. It’s sad to think that a woman needs to completely change herself in order to have a perfect wedding. In most cases, the guy asked you to marry him because he already likes the way you look; he’s not expecting you to get a ton of plastic surgery. Honestly I don’t think plastic surgery is every necessary unless it will have extreme health benefits for the person, like in the case of severe obesity or a constructive nasal problem. Also the use of plastic surgery being given out, as prizes like on a game show is just utterly disgusting. To think of all the necessary surgery that needs to be performed on people in order to save their lives and the surgeons waste their time on surgeries that are completely impractical and unnecessary. I’m looking at the pictures of all the women on the show right now and they all look absolutely fine and actually probably what society finds very “attractive”. Even if they weren’t “attractive” according to society’s standards, they would look beautiful they way they are. I also find it very ironic that the one woman who the surgery was slightly “necessary” was the one who was off the show first. It’s like it’s not interesting unless it’s completely ridiculous and impractical.

One thing I would have been more interested in would have been the opinion the grooms. It would just be interesting to hear exactly what they feel about this. It’s sad that our society has created such insecurity in women about their looks that they feel like they need to completely alter them. In case you didn’t know, we’re supposed to look like humans, not plastic dolls or otherwise we’d be born that way. There needs to be a whole culture shift in the USA regarding body image, starting with the way we eat and the fact that were always sitting down watching tv or on the computer, which is where we encounter these images and societal claims that make some believe they need to completely reconstruct themselves.
