Hello all:
I think that I mentioned before, in a "christmas wish" post, that I plan on having a cosmetic procedure done soon. While talking to a male friend about it recently, he commented that he has never known a black woman who wanted to have plastic surgery. (I guess he never heard of Janet Jackson, Patti LaBelle, or Mariah Carey :rolleyes
I get the same general consensus when I talk about having this procedure done. Many people, especially self involved men say "Honey, you don't need to do this to get men, you are beautiful the way you are." Excuse my vanity, but I know that I look good, that is why I model...but I am simply not happy with this particular part of my body. And, I absolutely hate it when people think I am doing it for attention... I never had a problem getting the attention of men.
My reason for deciding to do this is strictly for my own satisfaction...I love everything about every other part of my body, about my personality, etc...it is just that this one thing really makes me unhappy. I dwell on it all of the time. I made the decision to have the surgery long ago. My mind will not be changed. I always tell my mom, and others who try to talk me out of it, that "the only way I will change my mind is if there suddenly becomes a 50% chance of death. Other than that...bring on the scalpel."
Since it is supposedly so rare among black women, I pose this question to you: Is plastic surgery something that you would seriously consider? Why or why not? I look forward to reading your responses.

Sweet dreams are made of this...
