Your post reminds me of the girl from Dirty Dancing. When I watched the movie, I thought she had a unique look that was cute and sexy, but when I saw her after the nose job, she was just another girl.

Last name: Gray/Grey. Her dad played the MC in the flick "Cabaret". And YES -- I perfectly agree with you; her nose made her face so much more interesting and that after the nose job.. well. Not quite as.

Olivia Goldsmith has been one of my favorite authoresses since long before her passing (RIP). She's probably had every part done. But through her (possible) fictions, I read her books with my sociologist lens to base more studies upon the culture of "unnecessary surgeries" (my term). It's to "fit in" and it's not just a "look" culture but one which has other appelations. It was right about this time that a pal, Paul, a pro reporter/journalist, sent me a draft of an article he'd recently written about the culture of "having amputations", happening in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the U.S.

Shwang.. And I had just finished reading Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye".

I saw fiction shaping a culture of masochists and the sadists who love them (as customers). ick... a genuine "boys of Brazil" time of wondering...
