This weekend, at the Miss Plastic competition (a beauty pageant in which all contestants have had breast implants and facelifts), 23-year-old woman fell off the stage because she was too top-heavy. Apparently, she had not yet grown accustomed to her newly enlarged breasts, and also because her hair extensions got in her eyes. Um. Actually, I guess that those are two understandable hurdles, and for that reason I feel bad for the girl. She tore a ligament! And, um, talk about humiliating. BUT, more importantly, what was a 23-year-old woman doing getting a facelift?! This Miss Plastic thing totally confounds me. Women in their 20s getting breast implants is not, I guess, so unusual these days. (Although personally, I would not in a million years put my own body through the medical risk. But then again, as you may have noticed, I'm a fan of a sort of gamine androgyny when it comes to fashion -- so my board-flat figure suits my sartorial preferences.) But getting facelifts?! What a sad, and scary concept. Sad because, you know, feminism, etc. Scary, because:
Think about the future, ladies!! 
Wow. This is some crazy business. Two days after having been crowned the first-ever non-black winner of Hampton University's annual beauty pageant, 22-year-old Nikole Churchill actually wrote a letter to... President Obama? Asking that he chide her black classmates for walking out of the ceremony after she won, and for making "negative comments regarding [her] win."
