Two women are fighting for their lives after cosmetic injections aimed at giving them 'J.Lo' style bottoms went disastrously wrong. 
 Andrea Lee, 30, suffered total kidney failure after being 'poisoned' with what is believed to be industrial silicone. 
 Her friend Zakiya Teagle, 33, is also in a critical condition in a Florida hospital after her internal organs stopped functioning.... 
 Ms Lee and Ms Teagle paid more than £300 to have a series of silicone injections that they hoped would enhance the shape and size of their bottoms. 
 Friends said the women hoped to copy the fuller-figure look that singer Jennifer Lopez is famous for. 
 Investigators said Lindsay used a plastic bottle and a Tupperware bowl to mix the solution....

    I don't know about you, but personally I wouldn't let anybody inject me with something they just mixed up in a Tupperware bowl like it was a batch of Jell-O.

    Sometimes people do dumb things (like I have many times). I lift my prayers for their recovery.

    Women have more pressure on them to look good than at any time in history of the world. In an era in which you can pick up a magazine that showcases the horrors of the Olsen twins and anorexia right next to an article calling Mariah Carey a fat pig, is it any wonder some women do crazy things like this? 
I, as a man, have it incredibly easy when it comes to being attractive - buy a decent suit, hit the gym 3 times a week, and make a nice paycheck. Even with a face that looks like it was set on fire and someone stomped it out with a track shoe, a guy can easily be attractive if he covers those three.

    Medical tip: Don’t pay fake “doctors” for 40 injections out of a Tupperware dish.

    Investigators said Lindsay used a plastic bottle and a Tupperware bowl to mix the solution.... Probably some Chinese knockoff Tooperwear bowl. Back alley cosmetic surgeons are known to go with off-brand surgical supplies instead of real Tupperware.

    Thanks for snapping me out of my shock that anyone would do this to themselves and reminding me that these are broken women in need of our prayers.

    Never, ever get a butt injection from someone named Sharhonda.
 
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear; Owl_Eagle; najida
    OK...that is the easy way to do it.
 But I have a question.....isn;t wearing a padded bra or a padded butt really just false advertisement?
 People should learn to be happy with who they are and leave plastic surgery for fixing those who are disfigured due to birth defects or accidents.
 Stop looking to surgery because they are not happy with themselves.....IDIOTS!!!!!

    It’s inconceivable that people would pay money to have their butts made bigger. Most of American women would like their backsides to be a little smaller. Anyway, if your butt isn’t big enough, time on a Stairmaster will cure that.
