Mom's Gift of Birthday Boobs

This just in courtesy of the UK's Daily Mail, serving double duty as further convincing evidence of the newspaper's slide into the tabloid gutter. The daughter of glamour model and tell-all phenom Alicia Douvall wants mom to buy her a boob job. Mom intends to oblige. The kicker?  Daughter Georgia is not yet thirteen.

In all fairness, Alicia, already a veteran of more than 50 cosmetic surgery procedures at age 28 - including one breast implant that exploded and saline-pump valves to enable variable sizes- intends her daughter to wait until her sweet 16 for a pair of bigger breasts.  By that age, she will certainly not be alone in having the work done. Of more interest, perhaps is the casual attitude, engendered by Alicia's experiences, to elective slicing, filling and stitching displayed by young Georgia:  "I think my mum looks good. Because of her, I think it's normal to have surgery if something's not quite right."

Can anyone tell us just what "quite right" is?

Below, a photo of mother and daughter. The Daily Mail used the story as an opportunity to post various pictures of Mom in states of undress. You can go there to see them.

Comments

I am an older father of two youngsters. Both have University degrees, high self esteem, good jobs, money and position in life. Both enhance and serve the society they live in. Both contribute to the wellbeing of others. Both are happily married and both expect their offspring to look like themselves. We are proud of our family characteristics, physical stature, and personal appearance. Neither child has ever had any form of cosmetic surgery, nor will they, ever. They are made secure in the this world by a belief system that looks outward to others not inward and the pain that can cause. My advice to this young lady and her Mom is that, as you age, and yes, dears, you will age, transformations in your physical being will reach far beyond a simply 'boob job'. There will be beauty in all stages of your life, if you just let it happen. Be beautiful first on the inside, it will show on the outside.
