Breast implants send the message "I'm not good enough the way I am"?

SOME implants might say "I am not RIDICULOUS enough the way I am". And some implants are nice. That said, I think any and all plastic surgery says (to some extent), "I am not good enough the way I am". This is the reason people HAVE it in the first place. They feel they would be improved if they had the surgery (be it emotionally, mentally, or physically). If one felt great just the way they were, why would they have the surgery in the first place?

Not a guess, she did have enhancement surgery. And I hate to argue with some of you, but just cause someone enhances their assets does NOT mean that someone was not happy with the way they were before. It's enhancement, not replacement.

I agree Costa. I just think the "good enough" portion would imply satisfaction, but surgery implies a certain level of dissatisfaction (no matter how minute). That's all I was saying. LOL, I just thought of Stuart Smalley. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darnit people like me.

well, i am in the minority here, i know, but i don't even like mariah's singing voice. i am glad that she's not waif thin, but why wear 'nothing' with a rubinesque body like that? it's almost the other extreme. too thin and showing it and over-large and showing it. she would look pretty decent if she dressed decent. mariah does nothing for me....

I don't think she is standing up. I think they are so bouyant that she appears to be standing. It's hard to tell with those things, she might shoot your eye out

David Hasselhoff, estranged wife told to stay away from each other LOS ANGELES (AP) - Less than a month after filing for divorce, the estranged wife of David Hasselhoff is alleging that the former Baywatch star abused her, court records showed. Actress Pamela Bach, 42, filed a domestic violence order Monday against Hasselhoff, 53, in Los Angeles Superior Court, summary records on the court's website show. At a private hearing, Bach also asked for a temporary restraining order against the actor but a judge denied the request, instead instructing the two to stay away from each other. "The court indicated that she should stay where she is and he should stay where he is," Hasselhoff's lawyer, Melvin Goldsman said by phone Wednesday, declining comment on the allegations. (...)

no one really thinks mariah doesn't ask for comments when she dresses a certain way? i think perhaps in her mind, she is still a size 6, not a 16W, and expects compliments. she probably seriously does not see herself as she really is. i am amazed still when i see a middle-aged, overweight woman's reflection in a store window for example...and realize it's me! what happened to the 106 pound 24-year-old i swear i was just 'the other day'?! now, if i could go back to size 7 pants and size 4 tops, i would buy clothes like mariah's, but i wouldn't be caught dead buying or wearing them now! how can she not be embarrassed by the cellulite and flotation devices and the outfits she wears?

I dont think she looks all that bad. Its funny people complain because Big Brother never has real people on it, they are too pretty, too in shape, too young. But if poor Maria showed up at the big brother house she would be trashed. I wouldn't dress like Mariah because I think it is trashy but she likes it and is comfortable in her own skin. I think Mariah is much more real than someone like Madonna who is now trying to come off as the lady of the manor after dressing and acting like a you know what for twenty years.

I agree Maris. I think we are so programmed in what looks attractive though that we automatically think anything but a waif is overweight. So sad. I'm not fond of the way Mariah dresses, but she'd probably think I dress crappy too... to each his own!

I DO dress crappily and I don't care if Mariah Carey likes it or not.

why should someone be embarrassed to have cellulite? if you feel comfortable with who you are why does anyone else's opinion matter? it doesn't to me. i think she looks just fine in the picture above. sure i see she isn't a size 6 and see the cellulite on her thighs. but, so what? what does it matter to anyone but her? i'm just not into superficial stuff like that.

I've said it before (and I'll say it again because I think it is important for self esteem to realize this). A lot of people have cellulite etc. A lot of celebrities have cellulite <gasp>. A lot of celebrities don't have exceptional bodies (in the shallow Hollywood standard). The major difference is that they are carefully made up for public appearances and most celebrity pictures are re-touched. You wouldn't recognize these people if you ran into them on the street. They look like us (and often not as good!). So what happens. Paparazzi take pictures of celebrities who are not looking their best and they get published. And we look at them and make remarks.

I, personally, think she needs a new personal shopper and dresser, but I say "You Go, Girl!" because she's got it going on and she's doing it well.
